Hello! Long time no see! It has been a while since I posted any blog, but now I'm back, with quite an "interesting" headline. Sorry if I offended any of you, I'm just stating what I think.
Some people don't know how to type the word "thank you", or "thanks". They acted as they knew it all but no, they don't know the meaning of gratefulness, or at least, how to type it.
You might think I'm overreacting here but no, I am not.
How many seconds does it take to type the word "thanks", maybe 2? I don't know, but I am certain that it takes less than 10 seconds. How many seconds does it take to type the word "I know", it has one letter less than "thanks" but the time is not really different. But instead of saying thanks, they say "I know". I have met this situation so many times that it started to irritate me.
For instance, when we have a new assignment, one student will go to the class's group chat and remind the class to do it. And people replying, "I know". It doesn't sound smart. No one cares if you knew it or not. The point is, that person spends their time, not much (20 seconds?) to remind the class. They could just ignore it and do something else in that 20 seconds, but no, they did it, to help someone who hasn't known about the assignment. And you just make them feel like they shouldn't do that meaningful act again. Even if you already knew it, just say "thanks". It feels great to be thanked by anyone. And people don't think you are stupid if you say "thank you", instead of "I know".
The same applies to messages and questioning. If I asked someone a question, then later I found the answer before the moment that person replied to the message, or when they didn't answer what I wanted, but they did try, I will say "Thank you". Because I know that they could just ignore my message, but here they did me a favor, they spent time and effort to answer it. So please be grateful for someone if they just did something for you (even when you don't need it). They have their time and you have yours. And they just spare that time, helping you. Don't make them feel like they just waste their time for you by saying "I know" or "thôi biết rồi". The least you can do is to say "thank you". It is not that hard to type. But I don't understand why some people cannot be like that.
This piece of writing right here, it's just... FABULOUS!!!!!! I understand that so many people right now are just being very ungrateful as they take things for granted without ever take a moment to appreciate the giver. Your blog here is veryyyyyyy enjoyable to read (especially with a cup of tea!) Are you planning to write some more of this? Because I would LOVE to read more of your writing, it's just... OUSTANDING!
