Why, on God’s wonderfully developed and linguistically excellent Earth do people still use words in such a way that leave me convinced they suffer from Foetal Alcohol Syndrome?
Yeah, that’s right, someone said something to me that I found annoying, took umbridge with and decided to rail against on the internet. Surprised?
Ready for today’s topic? Good. It is as such: People Who Say “Thanking You”.
A person will actually, in an attempt at expressing gratitude for something, say “thanking you”. Excuse me? Don’t tell me what you’re doing, just fucking thank me. I don’t stand there saying “looking at a dickhead”, or blurt out “greeting a friend” when I greet a friend, because that would be retarded.
You want to thank me? Say thank you. It’s actually easier than the self-masturbatory attempt at class that I’m sure you think saying “thanking you” is.
And, do you know what? If you don’t actually utter the words “thank you”, or some legitimate derivative of such, then you’re not thanking me. You’re just describing the way a normal person would act in the situation.
A woman at the bakery said “thanking you” to me yesterday and I honestly thought to myself “I wish I had some way of letting everyone know just how much I fucking hate this”.
