Does It Annoy You If People Don’t Say, Please, Or Thank You?

Please, will you tell me if it annoys you, if people don’t say, Please or Thank You? Or, Sorry, if they bump into you!!

Thank You!!

Yes, Artangel, it does annoy me. Good manners are essential in my corner of the world.

Thank you for raising this thread.

No it doesn't annoy me because if they say it then it only means something if they really mean it. Otherwise it's just words. You can tell if someone is polite or grateful by their manner.

In fact "please" and "thank you" can be used in an aggressive way depending on the inflection.

I used to do much the same with my son when he was little, Art.
My parents did the same to me as well.

I don't much like rude people.

Annie, If someone bumps into you and hurts you, would you be annoyed if they didn’t say, ‘Sorry’?

I don't think I'd be annoyed because I'd make sure they felt sorry they did it lol.

anyway you didn't mention sorry, just please and thank you!

More people I come across say sorry in a sincere way than please and thank you. I always say it myself if I do anything to encroach on the comfort of others.
