I stopped off at Tesco last night after training to pick up some food and whilst I was in there I checked to see if they had the phone I'm after in stock. It turns out that they don't, but I was asked for some help with phones by a random woman so I obliged

In my experience folks are about 99% whinge and 1% action, myself included :-)

Perhaps I'm just weird? :)

I'm not much of a doer myself, I'm about as lazy and apathetic as people can be, but when there's something I do want to do I accept what it takes to do it, and get it done.

im the same, i go out of my way to help someone, if they dont thank me, i resent the time and effort ive just wasted, even just a smile and a "thanks alot" is enough

people nowadays are ungrateful cunts

I'm inclined to agree. I wondered to begin with whether she thought I worked at Tesco, but she said "I know you don't work here but...". Even if I did work there it's just common courtesy to say thanks :|

[greebo]

aye, it doesnt cost anything, even IF im having the worst day ever i still make sure to say "thank you" if someone has helped me with something unless im in a superrush to something important and EVEN THEN i would try to get an acknowledgement communicated to them somehow

Same here :) Manners don't cost anything.

Me: "ONLY KIDDING! CONTINUE TO EAT A TWIX FOR LUNCH, DON'T LIFT WEIGHTS AND SPEND 30 SECONDS A DAY THINKING ABOUT BEING 'SWOLE'. I GUARANTEE THAT WITHIN TWO DAYS YOU'LL BE LAT-FLARING THE PANTIES OFF EVERY GIRL THAT GETS WITHIN 500 MILES OF YOUR MIND BLOWING PHYSIQUE!"

I have nothing to add other than this made me laugh out loud at my desk.

Believe it or not, I have delivered similar lines to people who've expressed a lack of interest or belief in my advice and they've believed me.

It is just common courtesy. I do try and do the polite thing like hold doors open, let the odd car out, things like that. I do find the majority of people say thank you. But there is always one arse!

[kuzanagi_]

Agreed.

Haha, I don't think many people would buy a book written by a miserable bastard about being a miserable bastard! ;)

Besides, Chris, it's all down to delivery at the end of the day. It's the way you tell 'em, mate. The way you tell 'em.
