I've always done it even if the bus driver isn't nice, because a simple thank you could make someones day better.

It's not something that's required per say, but I suppose I was raised to say please and thank you to anyone who helped me out, even if it is riding a bus. I'm not saying you're in the wrong, especially if it's not proper etiquette where you're from, it just always seems like it's better to say thank you than to not say thank you. However, most times, the bus drivers don't really respond, so I do see where you're coming from when you say they don't really care either way. It's more for a personal thing with me, really.

Maybe cause your little Lil. People don't bump into me, and when they do they're usually the ones stumbling over. My suggestions to you is get fat.

it means a lot to me when my customers realize the impact that my service has, when they tell me "wow this store is organized so well" or "you girls work so hard!" because it makes me feel like what I'm doing is important, appreciated, and not wasted on a bunch of ****head consumer zombies.

public service announcement: THANK SERVICE WORKERS. PLEASE.

I'm little 'cause I'm little!! 5 feet and four inches of slender innocence & fury!!

But good golly you'd think they'd be concerned smashing into someone little.

Can someone explain to me the elbows on the table thing? Who gives a **** about putting your elbows on the table? What possible benefit can it serve to keep them off?

I never understood this either. I really don't see how it's disrespectful. It's not like your putting your dick on the table or anything.

Fuck's sake, I HATE the elbows on the table thing.

if you're having dinner, keep your damn elbows off the table. don't be a slob. keep your hands in your lap when they're not being used to shovel food in.

Maybe it's just 'cause my grandparents were strict about this, so I was affected by it, but OH MY GOD it is so irritating!!

You have to logically justify it, or else you're just being a mindless slave to tradition.
