Too many people have lost the ability to say: "you're welcome". I am sure you have heard it before.
Radio announcer: Thanks for talking with us today.
Guest: Thank you.
You - getting the receipt for your groceries: Thanks!
Cashier: Thank you.
Hunh? When did this start? My grandmas taught me to be polite, but when did saying "thank you" to someone who just thanked you replace "You're welcome"? I don't get it.
So I am going to change my responses from now one. I am going to start saying: You're welcome. Let's see how people react.

Good for you. Manners are an important part of any society. Treat others with dignity and respect and you'll get the same in return.
I guess I'm going to have to post as "anonymous" from now on. I have signed up for my Google/Blogger account 3 times now and each time I post a new comment, it tells me "incorrect password".

Ever since we talked about this last week, I've been even MORE hyper-attuned to it, and noticed it even MORE. So thank you, for making me a bit more neurotic than I already was (no. . .thank YOU; no--thank YOU!)
