It's like a contest of who is being more polite. I always make an effort to say "you're welcome" to keep it in the language.

PhilH hit the two things I've noticed, "not a problem" and "absolutely."<br /><br />I was with family at an Italian restaurant and we got the giggles because our waiter responded with "absolutely" to everything. "I'll have chicken marsala." "Absolutely". "May I have some more ice water?" "Absolutely." "I believe I ordered the chicken and he had the fish." "Absolutely."<br /><br />"Thanks." "Absolutely."<br /><br />Then he asked me if my food was okay and it blurted, "Absolutely," and the family burst out laughing and the poor guy was confused.<br /><br />I have trouble with how quickly the vernacular is changing. I HATE saying something funny and having someone SAY to me "LOL."<br /><br />Okay.

Nevertheless, I think for common usage, 'thank you' is much more pleasing.<br /><br />I watched another Titanic movie made in 1943 - it was much more inviting to me because they showed more of the facts; they all exhibited a certain calm and strength, and it seemed more like how people would act to aid each other (as well as those who scrambled against each other so they could have a chance to live).<br /><br />Granted, I missed that lovely music of the current Titanic, but I'd still watch the other one more than once if I had my choice.sixtyfivealivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659226934440204069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-34358065019356910132012-04-17T14:04:50.354-07:002012-04-17T14:04:50.354-07:00..sixtyfivealivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659226934440204069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-84617837663823177482012-04-17T09:51:57.090-07:002012-04-17T09:51:57.090-07:00Or Not a Problem.

I am astounded by those folks who mutter "excuse me" or "pardon" and then proceed to bowl you over without giving you the opportunity to get out of their way. Like "no problem' their action seems to indicate they once were taught the civilities but they have forgotten the subtlties of manners.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754634058460651799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-75951121858483998632012-04-17T04:07:55.692-07:002012-04-17T04:07:55.692-07:00When someone thanks me it is normal for me to say ...When someone thanks me it is normal for me to say you're welcome but to my ear it sounds as if I am saying yer welcome...and I do at times practice speech elocution.

I read many college papers every week and young people can no longer write a basic sentence.<br /><br />Common courtesy seems to be hard to find, too.
