I am absolutely fed up with folks in today's society who don't have the couth/manners or a good enough up bringing to say thank you. It's been building and building and building and it came to a head early this week so I need a release.
The last few years it has become a big pet peeve with me and I am telling you it is freaking epidemic. I mean you can hold doors open for people, help somebody load their stuff at Lowes, mow their lawn, answer questions, give directions, fix broken crap for folks, give them a gift, make something for somebody, and folks just don't show any appreciation. Son of a gun!! Really?!?! It just burns my *** up to no end. And I'm not looking for anything monetary or of physical value, but is a thank you too much to ask for? Sadly the biggest violators are grown *** adults of both genders and all races. Hell we talk about millennials around here but they are usually the ones I find saying thank you more than my own generation and Gen Y. That's **** pitiful right there.
My wife told me..."you know Jason...just keep on doing what you do not expecting anything in return. It's the right thing to do for certain family and friends." Well that may be true but I don't like it any more because of it. I do stuff to help folks when I can in hopes of making their life easier or smoother and I appreciate when folks do the same for me. And when folks do that for me, I am probably considered an over-thanker....probably to a fault because I want folks to know I appreciate what they have done for me. You use up your valuable time, answering a question, fixing or making something for me, opening a door for me when my hands are full, or go out of the way to make my life a tad easier, I am going to thank you...and usually more than once. It is really that **** simple. Hell "Thank yous" are free and easy..
Of course, I say they are easy. With some folks you would think those words send you to hell or make you weak. Is it an upbringing thing?....Is it a machismo thing for men or even women? Is it a sign of weakness if somebody does something for you that you can't say thank you? You would think it is after my observations over the past few years.
I mean you build something, fix something or just give somebody a gift as a thank you and you hand it to them and they say "cool"...or "alright"....and then they look at you with a dead *** stare like they are afraid to say thank you as if they are going to hell or it insults their ego to do so. I just don't get it. Oh and then you say..."you're welcome" to maybe prime the bulb and now you are the ******* for embarrassing their rude asses. Good grief! It's not that hard people! Show some **** appreciation folks if you don't already. Appreciation is free in the form of thank yous. Just do it....you might make somebody's day in return that just made your day helping you out...
OK...I need a drink and some Tylenol..
