When to Say Thank You
Beatmassa and I got into a small quarrel over when to say ‘thank you’. We went to see Batman: The Dark Knight, and in the car on the way back to the house we heatedly critiqued the movie. When we reached home, about 3 minutes after walking through the door he shouts from the other room, “You’re welcome!” I hadn’t even put my purse down, and technically he ran off. Now hold up- I am always very appreciative, and always thank everyone at that right time… and maybe more times after- over and over. I had every intention to thank Beatmassa. His argument is that I should have said ‘thank you’ in the car. Um well, when I’m having a heated discussion, especially in a car ride lasting only 5 minutes, the only thing I’m concentrating on is the already existing convo. Thanking happens when we are settled in to our future destination. If we were riding for 20 minutes, then yes indeed the words would-have-been-done-said. I say thank you right when I am handed/ given something, right when I notice what someone has done, right when I am given a compliment or even critiqued, just right at that good time…. When do you say thank you? This link is to you, Beatmassa!
