I know this is a global site, so I was just wondering how people give a thanks of gratitude...........from my life.......we kiss.........I know some just nod or bow, of just shake hands............just wondering.

i just say thank you

I say thanks, or give a little nod if its not really a big deal.

Wow so boring..........No touching?........Well a kiss is only if they did you a wonderful favor. and a hug.........Though hmmmmm a small kiss would say umm thanks.....thanks for doing your best kind of thing..Cheek of course............unless it was A GREAT GREAT FAVOR!!.........Then plant a good one....Usually shocks a person though.........lol

A thumbs up and if it's a girl, a slight, friendly tap on the butt.

I say thank you or thanks, but I wouldn't mind getting a kiss as a thank you Infact I'll do something for you so you'd have to thank me.

i do not say thank you

Depends on the situation:

Saying thank you to a stranger - eg. Store clerk etc: Simply thank you. Maybe thank you with a smile if they have been especially good.

If it is a family member or friend: Depending - if they have just past the salt then just saying "thank you suffices." If it is a gift then maybe thanks and a bit of a hug or handshake (hug if its a girl, handshake if a guy.)

If it is my girlfriend - As above, but in the gift or nice word situation replace hug with hug and kiss (the extent of which depends on what it is thanks for. )

Also if I am wearing a hat I might tough the brim when I say thankyou.

I just say thanks/cheers/thank you. But I don't say it very often, only to strangers.

The ol' thumb butt, eh? I do that when people **** up.

I usually say "Pok-pok", and then do a Moondance.

"dzięki"

I don't thank people. Ever.

I'm not surprised bardock.......lol

Well it's so funny how sometimes I have to stop myself when it's someone I really don't know.......I catch myself caue I know I'd freak them out....But many times I just give a hug....Though all of my family and relatives always kiss hello and good bye.

You DO live in a SPECIAL PLACE.....LOL

Depends what it is, a nod or a " thanks" might be in order if someone gets you a coffee but Gratitude sex might be in order for other things

A+

i say "thanks"

zens

If it's a stranger, I'll say 'thanks' or 'thank you'...usually with a smile.

But, if it's someone I know or am close to, it's a little different....
e.g: 'Awwww...thanks man...I owe you one'...usually with a grin

I don't usually give or get any favors, so I never get these affections of gratitude. If I ever did, however, I'd prefer heavy physical contact.

I just kick them in the nuts if they are girls I give them candy

Oh, God no. I was thinking more along the lines of touching, licking, and massaging.

just "thanks" to most people, "thank you" to teachers and adults i don't know, or "thankies" to my friends

Absolutely. Many people might shy away from this, but you'll be amazed at how refreshing it will make you feel. I recommend everyone trying it at least once. It also works great on someone you've just met, too. Sort of like an ice breaker.

And you give ME the smilie? *shakes head at Debs* tongue_ss

I'm not surprised that you would draw the wierd ones deb.

Well, I did give him 3 chances, but when he barked at the waitress, I was kinda embarrassed......"Yeah I'm with him".......

No no, you say "I don't know that lunatic. Where is my food? And can I get a dog bowl?"

the difference between licking and barking being that getting licked by someone can give you a good sensation... someone barking at you is just damn annoying and will probably give you a headache


as for my thanks... i just say "thank you" but with more of an S sound on the TH and in sort of a scarlet pimpernel accent

Only if you know them very very well.................

well, yes... of course....


though i do agree with you that people should give more physical contact; it's surprising how much that can brighten someone's day

It sure can............a hug can do more than a thousand bucks sometimes for someone.............as a kiss on the cheek...........I believe many people are afraid to show affections.

well, as much as i wouldn't mind a kiss on the cheek from friends, that sort of thing can be taken the wrong way, and annoying dramas can unfold

You must be male..........though in my family we still do..........must be an Italian thingie. But the male kissing a male is just a family thing.

well, also, a majority of america has this major obsession with private space that i find rather stupid
