It's not a complaint, it doesn't bother me in the least. But it's weird to me to say "thank you" when you're the one doing the favor, as it were. Here's that report you asked for, thank you!

- I've been thinking about this -- the real problem in this world is people just showing too much gratitude. You appreciate me? Thank you? Thank you "so much?" Fuck all that.* - By Alpo September 3, 2026 at 04:21:41 PM

  - It's just another example of societal enshittification. Instead of having conversations, we trade ass kisses and affirmations.* - By rkm September 3, 2026 at 04:24:22 PM
- just good manners, coworkering. I usually do it. Sort of a jedi mind trick to get people to be nicer to you* - By chiwalker September 3, 2026 at 04:10:38 PM
  - I'm very nice (at work), certainly, but I don't thank someone I've done something for. * - By jjwalker September 3, 2026 at 04:12:40 PM
    - They are thanking you for acknowledging that they have successfully completed your task.* - By rkm September 3, 2026 at 04:18:34 PM
