each post manufactured to the highest specifications


I mostly say "you're welcome" when people say thanks for a thing I did, but when I am given service I like to say "no thank YOU!" Or "that was lovely, you did a great job". But sometimes "you're welcome" just kinda falls out and makes it awkward for everyone.

I don't think I've ever said "uh huh" in response to "thank you".

One time I was mad at my husband and he said "I love you" and I said "GOOD SO YOU SHOULD". It felt harsh.

ain't no thang, brotha

these all sound better than "you're welcome" 99% of the time

I know, and they were all beaten out of me when I did call centre work. They were very definite about phrases you could and could not say. "No problem" was absolutely forbidden as the word "problem" might cause someone to think about problems, and "any time" suggested that people should call when they didn't need to. Lots of others were considered not formal enough. That call centre was weird as poo poo and hosed me up more than the years I spent doing every drug I could get my hands on.
I don't do many drugs any more but I do still say "that's correct" instead of "yeah" too often for comfort.
