Is Saying "Thank You" As A Response To Someone's Greeting Appropriate? by uboma(m): 3:36pm On Dec 07, 2014 |
I get pissed after saying 'Good morning' or 'Good day' and the response i get is 'Thank you'. Should that be an appropriate response? What makes some people respond in such manner? Has anyone experienced same or is it just me? |

THANK YOU is polite way of accepting and also rejecting anything offered to you . But don't be pissed off you can sense the meaning of their replies based on expression |

A greeting is like a wish and should not only be wholly accepted by the first recipient. It should be returned in order to show acceptance. If you get a Good morning greeting, the response should be Good morning to you too OR I wish you the same. Just saying THANK YOU to me means you just don't want me to continue greeting you and its totally inappropriate. |
