I intensely dislike people that can't say thank you when you pay them a complement or when you wish them well. Me: You look nice today. Them: I know. Me: You are very good at that Them: Yes I am Me: I hope you feel better Them. I do too That sucks!
I don't know many people like that these days. I used to know a lot. I started telling 'em off though, and then I was the rude one
Sometimes I'll do it as a joke...but usually I can't take compliments very well...so I sheepishly say, "Uh...thanks, I think"
meh, the feeling better one, I usually say things like "I do too" or "I'll try!" the rest I say thanks at though I think I'm a bit miss mannery too, but moreso get annoyed by somethings, like table manners (speaking with a mouthful of food, chewing with mouth open), bad breath, etc....
I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WITH BAD MANNERS. This is my number one pet peeve. Even worse people who say 'uhuh' when you say thank you...blaaaaa what's wrong with 'your welcome'...does it honestly take that much more effort? Also, if a guy has good manners it's the biggest turn on in the world and if he has horrible ones and wasn't brought up well it shows immediatley and it infuriates me and turns me off amd I'll spend the whole night looking at my watch.
It's so weird. I keep running into those types and I thought maybe the world had changed yet again and left me behind the times.
oh but i agree with ihmurria.... if im sick or something and someone says "i hope you feel better soon"- sometimes i say "thanks" but sometimes i say "oh me too!" also to what lynsey said.... there is nothing wrong not giving a compliment back in cases like if i would get a new hair cut and someone tells me it looks good.... i would usually say "oh thanks!" and not compliment them back because i mean if their hair looks the same as usual it just sounds phoney to be like "oh i love your hair too!" i dunno nm
aha, I'm bad for that too... well, not looking at my watch, but bad manner (n table manners/clean breath etc) are big turn offs in my book
no one can expect anyone else to see as a compliment everything they do nor as in insult either, nor to see either in quite the same way. some people, like me, who equate humility with nobility, find compliments slightly embarrassing not that we don't appreaciate them to not express anything is not always an expression of hostility sometimes it is merely and expression of embarassment or simply total loss for words =^^= .../\...
no but it can be like if a person says I like your hair you can say like 'oh thanks your compliment just brightened my day' I mean something to I don't know you get me though don't ya?
