I see you're aiming for the sainthood too. You don't also happen to help elderly women across the road, let everyone else out at a junction and never fail to say 'please' and 'thank-you'?

At the risk of being serious for a moment, saying "please" and "thank you" are two of the lowest effort, highest reward, and plainly decent things you can do as a human.

Muh. It's OK to be one of those endless-pleasers-and-thankers, that's how you are... but stop being so fucking condescending about it!

...some of us "other kind" of people actually consider excessive politeness as offensive because it wastes time and pollutes conversations and after a certain we'll start actually being offensive with people like you, and you'll just stare amazed at how horrible people we can be! When in fact we're just snapping unable to put with more verbal abuse coming in terms of "please" and and "t you" from people like you.

I advocated saying please and thank you, so I obviously believe that the more often one utters the phrases, independent of any context, the better human being one is?

Not everyone is relentlessly virtue signaling or karma whoring, whether in IRL or on HN.

Looks like we found the Canadian!

All jokes aside, yea... I mean... that's normally beaten into you as a child even if you grew up white trash. I would know.
