Please, may I please have a _______, please?



Too much sounds insincere and sarcastic.

Answer 9

nope. it would help if people said your'e welcome after you said thank you. no you can not say please and thank you too much as long as you mean it.

Answer 10

Anything overused is a bore, but of course the appropriate situation requires the appropriate response. If one uses the phrases, "please and thank you" at times it's not really appropriate, or to sound "phony" I would say yes, it can be overused. But if the situation is a giving situation and a lot of things are being given, say thank you the first time, then make a nice comment each time about the item, and at the end of opening the gifts, say thank you for all the wonderful things and comment about how much you will use them, even if you won't. Manners are always appropriate no matter where you are, and are appreciated by the giver. A thank you note is always required even if you said thank you in person. A person will find they are given more things if the giver receives not only a thank you verbally, but a thank you note that must be sent snail mail!! Times change but manners don't. If you are the giver, never say, "no problem." That's totally rude. As to "please", say it any time you ask for something from anyone. Here's 2 sites I found on google.com for you:

An interesting story I found and pasted here:

Saying please and thank you

Saying please and thank you is something that is taken for granted here in the USA and other places.



I remember being struck as a teenager by Jonathan M. Ford's take on such terms, through the eyes of a Klingonaase captain:



The Admiral got up from his chair. "Another?" he said, pointing at Krenn's glass.



"Please," said Krenn. He had had a hard time getting used to the word. But after a day on the Starbase, Krenn realized that the Humans used it continuously, across all levels of authority, for requests of any or no importance: the word simply had no meaning.



And then again a few pages later:



"So you were just following orders?"



"Do officers of the Federation not follow orders?"



Whitetree leaned forward, about to say something, then he sat back slowly. His expression had changed wholly, though the shifts of flesh were small. "I'm . . . sorry, Captain."



Krenn had heard that word too: it seemed to have more of its meaning left than please did. And, watching the Human, Krenn thought he intended that it should have meaning now.



I was thinking about this last week while I was staying in a hotel and noticed once again that on ordering room service that a 17% gratuity was pre-calculated as a part of the bill (and of course there was an additional place for a tip if I wanted to write one in).



I was also thinking about time I spent in Ireland this Summer where the service in several restaurants was terrible and tips were almost never left by people. It is easy to hypothesize about the connection, though I doubt that the service for an institutionalized tip is any better (I was honestly not even sure that what the hotel called a gratuity even went to the employee or not; I also was not sure how best to find out the truthful answer on the topic, and never have).



And I was thinking about it again a few days ago when my sister-out-law Jenny was speculating about the strange interactions with a cashier who says thank you when you pay and then you say thank you for the change -- there is not much time for more than that (without holding up the line!) and how truly sincere is it when it is a mechanical part of a transaction, no matter how polite everyone involved is?



So why did the word please seem to have no meaning to someone who was new to the language (well, ignoring the fact that it was obviously fiction, of course!)? Obviously the fact that it is used so often tends to water down the meaning, until it is almost brought down to the level of a particle in English -- a sound that you say at certain times because it is sort of expected.



I stopped using the word please for the most part except when it is emphasized as a point of sarcasm. I joked with people that saying please in this context anticipates that something will be done without it happening, whereas saying thank you in a warm tone may make it clear that it really is appreciated (and is most commonly said after something is done anyway). But under the joke was the serious notion that there is really no way to impart meaning into the word please without implying that you think someone might not do what you are asking. And how often will that truly happen?



Now of course thank you has its own watering down that happens, but not as much as please, in part because you can say it with some feeling (kind of like I'm sorry, now that I think about it). You can, in a sense, impart some pragmatic content to your words with your tone of voice -- something that may be implied in words that are read, depending on the circumstances being described.



So, according to dictionary.com, the linguistic meaning of the word particle is:



An uninflected item that has grammatical function but does not clearly belong to one of the major parts of speech, such as up in He looked up the word or to in English infinitives.

In some systems of grammatical analysis, any of various short function words, including articles, prepositions, and conjunctions.

I think it is easy enough to at least consider that most inflections of please might be considered particles now.



The most ironic part for me was how in Hebrew, the same word (בבקשה) is used for both please and thank you. I have not really tried too hard to figure out what that means, though there are other items in the Hebrew language that have similar simplifications (there are fewer prepositions, for example -- you can often tell if someone is still translating in their mind from Hebrew to English if they confuse in and on, for example). But with בבקשה (b'vakashah) I wonder if Hebrew has made it less of a particle than it seems to have become in English....

Answer 11

Chris. Depending upon the situation the speaker is in would have to be taken in to account before one could truly answer this question correctly. However I Will answer this as general as possible . In every day conversation, one would have so say Please and Thank You as a show of Respect and Courtesy one was brought up that way, but to often than not nowadays we often run into those who are not brought up to say Thank You when Someone opens a door, Or holds an elevator, or even picks up something we have dropped. Nor do we hear Please when a waitress ask us if we would like another glass of coffee or a refill on our drink . How sad is that ? Even at our own parents homes we don not use it enough do we? Let alone at a Friends home? Think about it

God told us not to use his name in vain. Of course 'God' is not his name, it's more like a title. But for millennia, starting with early translations of the Old Testament itself, people have substituted different words for 'God'. 'Thank goodness' is a good example of this, but so are 'gosh' and 'golly'. Or 'Jiminy cricket!' Or 'Providence' or 'The Creator' as used 200 years ago by Deists. Orthodox Jews write 'G-d' so they won't use his 'name' even though you know immediately who they mean.

Answer 13

Only when one is not mindful of why they say thank you, or when please is used to get what you want, even though you've been denied for a good reason.

If everyone was mindful of the effect of words, and the energy carried inside them, we'd all be a bunch of enlightened MoFo's.

Please, and thank You. The effect of these words, it is beautiful when they are used mindfully, and correctly. There is a book, The Hidden Messages in Water, written by Masaru Emoto. If you visit the website Whatthebleepdoweknow.com, you will be able to view the beautiful molecular structure of ice crystals that were made from water that simply had "Thank You" written on the outside of the container...you will see if you go to the website. Thank you, meaningfully spoken, can never be used too much.

Thank you for reading my spiel.

Blessed be.

Answer 14

Never too much, and never too old.



The only time I'm bothered is when someone is way too bubbly enthusiastic about expressing gratitude. If someone really IS that greatful, I am fine for a few seconds. I can smile and say "you're welcome" for only so long before I get uncomfortable.



I deal with it by not speaking anymore. I continue to smile, but the other person quickly realizes that they are "speaking into a vacuum," and calm down. When I sense that, I change the subject. Hopefully, I have not discouraged that person from still using the "magic words."

Answer 15

Call me "old fashioned", but I don't think so. In fact, I don't think they are used enough. I also don't hear as many "Yesmam/Nomam"'s and "Yessir/Nosir"'s as I think I should. Common courtesy is a mark of maturity, good breeding, and civility. You can never be too courteous.



Maybe I'm on a rant, here, but your question enforces the feeling I've been having that maybe a lack of common courtesy and decency toward others is a lot of what is wrong with American society today.



I'm from the South, and we used to be a lot more mannerly than we are today. I think we've gotten a little lazy. (Maybe the influence of all the Yankees who came down to get jobs in the late 70's and early 80's. HA!HA! That was a joke, son, a joke.)



It doesn't take much effort to be courteous to people and it makes you feel better about yourself, smooths relationships, and makes others more receptive to you.

Answer 16

It's important to find a balance, and use common sense where it applies. Although it's very Utopian and optimistic, the truth of the matter is there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. But hey, c'est la vie!

Answer 17

No, I don't believe that these words can be used too much. In fact, these words are used too seldom. How many times has a relative did something for you and you forgot to say thank you or just don't because they are "family." How many times has someone held the door open for you after they've already walked out of the building and you just nod your head. Please, thank you and excuse me are words that show respect, appreciation, and manners. When you show manners, you are showing honor and respect for your parents' past teachings of when you were a child. Think of how many times you walked passed a person without saying, "excuse me" or taken, borrowing,asking for something without saying "please." Sure, you ask them...but would saying the word "please" hurt you. People have to think about consideration, sympathy, respect, honor, appreciation more and the people of this world may actually learn to get along better. Happiness is just like sadness in a way...if you give a bit then you get a bit and it will spread to others. Think about it the next time something like these examples happen. Best wishes and take care.

Answer 18

Yes, if they are used too much in the same sentence or situation they stop being polite, just the same as if someone where to try to interrupt a conversation by repeating 'Excuse me, scuse me, scuse me' over and over, it isn't polite even though they are saying Excuse me.

Please repeated too often implies that the asker has to beg to get what they want, even though that may not be the case. Its alsoan ironic way of putting another person down. You would be implying that they are powerful and need to be placated; out of context thats irritating and rude.

Thank you said too often is also inappropriate, especially for a small favour or gift. One heartfelt thank you is meaningful; anything endlessly repeated becomes meaningless.

Answer 19

it most certainly can! It can make a perfectly simple phrase take on an annoying, immature, or even awkward tone. especially when same words are repeated or used in sentences directly following one another.



it's on thing to be polite, but over use of anything is bad. and in todays' society the last thing you want is to sound like a doormat that is always asking rather than taking initiative. ya know?



It's important to find a balance, and use common sense where it applies. Although it's very Utopian and optimistic, the truth of the matter is there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. But hey, c'est la vie!

Answer 20

My husband is from India while I am from the United States and he insists that I say 'please', 'thank you', and 'I'm sorry' too much. Apparently, in his culture, the gratuitous words are implied among family members and close friends and what I would consider politeness, they might see as a gap in intimacy. The use of 'please' and 'thank you' etc. is formal etiquette, isn't it. But then again, that is how we were raised; to be formal with everyone so as not to create any social disturbances.



My answer is yes, I believe it can be a bit overdone. Nevertheless, it is difficult to undo all that conditioning. So, we had better just go with the flow and use the appropriate amount when needed!

Answer 21

NEVER: My mother always taught us to say please if you wanted or asked for and thank you when someone does a favor, or anything that demanded a thank you.

It is common courtesy to say please and thank you when given something or if asked for something, there is no such thing as saying thank you and please too much.

An example : I work on an extremely busy switchboard where we are three ladies answering the board, and do you know how upset we can get if someone does not say those words. As I said it only goes to prove how well you were raised by your parents. My parents drummed it into us on a daily basis how important it is to use "THE Magic Words" An by using those two little words you will be amazed at what you can achieve in life. So please don't ever stop using those words, whoever you are talking to will show their appreciation if and when you do.

Answer 22

The finding of a recent survey by the Readers' Digest finds that the citizens of Mumbai(India) are very rude. They have no curtsy of saying 'please' or acdnowledging a help by a simple 'thank you'/ And yet you have noticed that during the recent series of bomb explosions there in railway compartments when many were dead and more injured people from the wayside hutment colonies rushed forward to help long beore the Police arrived. They did their job efficiently withthe help available. It is noteworthy that while most of the victims of the explosion were Hindues the helping hands were to a 't' Muslims And yet nobody expected a please from the supplicants or even a thank you from their relatives. Hailing from these parts I find that this cult of please and thank you has grown moribund.When you ask for some favour from somebody one implicitly knows that it is a favour. Where is the need to underline it in the asking. Also when somebody helps somebody the helped one is grateful. Is there any need to say so? These are normal expectations from a fellow citizen. In fact if somebody refuses to help people may look askance at him. And if somebody profusely and formally thanks somebody he would feel embarassed. In fact when we took part in thi citizen game we know and accept these implicit rules. The Muslim hutment dwellers showed this in their helping the Hindu victims despite the fact that hardly a few years before the latter has launched a pogrom against them is a prof of this.

Answer 23

I believe it matters what context they are put into. A child asking to "May I please be excused from the table?" is much different that a child saying " Can I have that new toy, please,please,please,PLEASE?!" At that point the word begins to lose it's validity as manners and is more of a tool. Thank You can also lose it's power when it's not spoken with sincerity. (i.e. coming from the clerk at the grocery store that dons nothing more than a far away gaze while saying it)Then again, like many have said, sometimes it's forgotten completly in situations where it would be sorely appreciated to the one recieving it.

In the end, it's contextual, and like most things spoken should be thought about in earnest before being spoken.

Answer 24

A sincere "please" or "thank you" is always nice to hear. If you use these words in a sarcastic manner or say them without feeling they lose meaning and can become annoying. In this day and age people don't use these words enough or at least not in the right way. I appreciate those with manners and etiquette for there are very few left and by me being polite I hope to rub off on others and make this world a friendly place.

Answer 25

I can't see how unless someone is being a bit cynical about using them. I think they are used far too infrequently and it's so simple to say. This is funny in it's own way because during this same time period, we give away standing ovations to people,

for the smallest nothing feat or performance, which lessens what that act of appreciation used to mean. A lot more effort and far less deserved. Like the saying goes ' A simple please and thank you will do'.

Answer 26

Would it be good to stop breathing?



Um, no. I'm pretty sure you can never be too polite. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule as there are with most. For instance, it would be a VERY good idea to stop breathing if you were under water because breathing under water causes drowning. In a similar way, being too polite to a very close friend can come off as being distanced.



And it's pretty obvious if the only two words you say are "Please" and "Thank you" that it's time to gain some new vocabulary.

Answer 27

The person receiving it changes often, and may like to hear it too ! Consequently that person may feel the warmth too ! But if the frequency becomes a mechanical repetition like an automated pre-recorded voice reply from a human, YOU ! What will become of you in due course ?

On the other hand it is never too much if it comes afresh from the heart (LIKE , SAY, you relish the food when really hungry, DESPITE having eaten meals for many years ! So also we do feel really ' a heart-felt-thanks' to the severe thirst quenching cool clear sparkling fresh water, but seldom find an audience to 'feel' our 'real' thanks !

Answer 28

No, they never can be used enough, if fact I would like to see Yes Sir and No Sir, Yes Ma'am and No Ma'am used as well

Answer 29

When I was a kid growing up it was mandatory in our household that you were respectful to each other, but people outside of the house as well and we always used please and thank you and yes sir and no sir, my dad did not play that game of disrespect at all. We also were taught to respect our elders. No, I don't think you can every over use this. Now a days people do not use it at all and look at you like your crazy when you have some manners. Please and thank you can go along way, ashame so many of our kids today are lacking greatly in that area. We have made it a crime in our country to raise kids with morals, values and respect..and we are paying the price for it now.

Answer 30

No. When I was younger, Americans used those polite terms more than now. Our ethos has changed a lot in the last 25 years especially. We used to be like most of the other people of the world whose ancient cultures over time taught us the value of civility. Americans have learned that non-civility gets you more power and material things.



It will all work out in the end.

Answer 31

this is a very interesting point cos it introduces the point that excess politeness can really clog up the system.chat show host clive bull cuts off the callers when they get to the end of their points without all the valedictions and wiht very little salutions at the beginning;it sounds terrible until you listen to one of the other shows where a minute is spent at hte start and end and you are screaming at the radio to get on with it

the orientals are very interesting as a control group;when i worked in the warehouse we were enormously offended that the chinese would barely greet you in the morning and never on subsequent meetings during the day;the multi purpose satwatdee krab greeting in thai is used exactly in this sparing kind of way and is used as a period of absence;note that the word krab is in this case an expression of politeness being translated as yes in other contexts.of course the logic is wiht the orientals;having introduced yourself and established your bona fides the please and thank you phrases should be become largely redundant

the problem for us is to set the level of these courtesies in a society where there are different levels and where getting it wrong can be seen as grossly offensive.

but againg a very good point and shows the need to introduce points systems for good questions

Answer 32

GAAWWWDDDD YES!



I work at a couple of hotels and every time you get off the phone with a guest it seems like you or they is trying to win the battle of politeness when really somebody needs to just say goodbye.



Lately, I have decided that most of the stuff that you do for people isn't like life changin sh*t or such a huge deal that you need all of these accoutrements of courtesy to be Mr. Super Polite Victorian Etiquette Guy.



I believe the substance of your actions should stand for itself without all of this jibber jabba.



I now say bye and hang up the phone once I have done with the real business or if I have to go to a guests room I say "there you go" when I have brought them their extra blankets or whatever and walk off.



I believe in substance and no bullsh*t!

Answer 33

I think it is possible only if you are using it with the same person over and over. Like opening a gift that had multiple presents in the bag. Just thank at the end. If some one was serving you a few different things on you plate just wait till the plate was full .. i say it a lot and get my kids to say it. I smile is also a good thing to add to your words..

Answer 34

I was also thinking about time I spent in Ireland this Summer where the service in several restaurants was terrible and tips were almost never left by people. It is easy to hypothesize about the connection, though I doubt that the service for an institutionalized tip is any better (I was honestly not even sure that what the hotel called a gratuity even went to the employee or not; I also was not sure how best to find out the truthful answer on the topic, and never have).

Answer 35

They can, but it'd be tough to do. If repeated over and over throughout a short conversation it'd come to look like sarcasm, or mocking. Or if one uses them being insincere, people will become inured and they lose their polite effect.

It's the same principle as a girl who hears "I love you" all the time from guys tryin to get in her pants. (we'll leave that can of worms alone for now) She'll quit believing it, even if it's sincere. Or the person who's a jerk, and is confronted, will sarcastically apologize. They've said the words, but made it clear they don't mean it. It's HOW ya use the words, and sincerity in being polite that counts.

Answer 36

No.



Please and Thank you demonstrate respect and original appreciation for what someone has done for you or given to you. If you want them to feel like what they have done was not a waste of money, or time then it is imperative you use those words.



A small gesture of appreciation also goes a long way. A thank you card, a small fruit basket, or a box of chocolates really keeps those favors coming. Everyone loves to feel genuinely appreciated and those small gifts do work wonders.



If someone takes the time to uniquely thank those who have been involved in helping their efforts to succeed, that person will find that benefactors abound. What I mean is that when you take the extra time to thank those around you...you will always have people willing to help.

Answer 37

Absolutely, a person who uses manners is refreshing and endearing. I use these words and other expressions of respect and appreciation because I like treating other people well and appreciate being treated with courtesy. I think that if people were to show this kind of regard to others on a personal level, as a whole we would experience fewer incidents of stress related mental illness. People who feel they are appreciated are happy people. Lots of happy people make for a happy nation. Imagine if people used these types of expressions on a global level all the time; what a happy world we would live in...well I can dream, can't I. Thank you for letting me put my two cents in :-)

Answer 38

Now of course thank you has its own watering down that happens, but not as much as please, in part because you can say it with some feeling (kind of like I'm sorry, now that I think about it). You can, in a sense, impart some pragmatic content to your words with your tone of voice -- something that may be implied in words that are read, depending on the circumstances being described.

Answer 39

Yeah sometimes it is overused to the point of meaninglessness. Like when they become staple sayings in certain situations, for instance, at a restaurant when the waiter brings you a drink, fills it up, and again, then brings you food, then dessert, then the the check, then picks the plate up, etc. "Thank you" gets a little tiring there.



Even more annoying is "excuse me" or "sorry" though. I hate it when you pass by someone--with like 4 feet between the two of you--yet they still find reason to say "excuse me", as if they are in my way.

Answer 40

This one is too subjective really, so you have to take the; "psychology of the individual approach". Sometimes, it becomes a habit to say thank you right after you have received your ticket, change etc etc and this is perfectly alright. In day to day proceeding, saying please and thanking is considered a norm and so much so that even if you miss saying it, it wouldn't matter. But there are other occasions where, the words "Please" and "Thank You" really matter and can win you brownie points. For example copious use of these two words with your current partner can reap rich dividends.

Thank you.

Answer 41

No. Never. Absolutely not.



In fact, we have the opposite problem now, people are not polite enough and do not say please and thank you when they should.



Politeness including please and thank you is a form of consideration and kindness towards another human being. It's a way of showing appreciation and that you care and value what the other person is doing for you.



Some people think please and thank you are artificial and unnecessary, but it is exactly the opposite. It is very necessary to behave with kindness to all people especially strangers. This helps make society function better. When people treat other people (even strangers) with kindness and respect, the results will be in kind.

Answer 42

Civility is not something that is overdone. Over use or even better thoughtless use, steals meaning and these things become a preparatory grunt or an acknowledgment. "It is the thought that counts". Just as empty promises and blatant flattery are the marks of poor character, these words without the backing sentiments are indicative of manipulative people. Actual gratitude is more rewarding than an apathetic "thank you".

Answer 43

Absolutely!!



If they are used too routinely, they will begin to wear out and have less and less meaning. Here's a great example of something that happened to me, it's pretty funny.



I was eating at a Jack in the Box fast food place with a few of my friends, and i realized that I wanted some ketchup. So I walked up to the counter, and said "Can I get some ketchup?"

When the woman came back with the ketchup, she beat me to the punch and said "thank you!" I almost started laughing at how silly it was for her to thank me for getting me ketchup, so i just replied with "You're welcome!"



When "please" and "thank you" and "have a nice day" become part of your job description, they really become overused, and are often said as a reflex, rather than a sincere feeling.

Answer 44

I think so. There was a hilarious bit in Zadie Smith's book "White Teeth" when a father noticed his son and a bookstore cashier saying "thank you" during every sentence in the conversation!



I guess when it's insincere, or just a filler like "um", it's being used too much. But if it's sincere and someone's really done something for you, or you want them to go out of their way a bit for you, "please" and "thank you" are definitely in order.

Answer 45

Never!



One problem with the current generation is the lack of manners. Showing some form of consideration for someone else is far-fetched for most of them. A few small gestures, such as "please," 'thank you," and even "you're welcome" can go a long way in helping relationships.



It all boils down to etiquette. We are all on this planet together. A little kindness can only help, not hurt! Manners can never be used too much.

Answer 46

It depends. Most of the time I think they are not used enough. But if they are used too much, like in every other sentence or something it can come across as 'kissing up' to the other person.

Answer 47

When those words are used as a sincere form of gratitude, appreciation, respect to another, or courtesy, they can never be used TOO much.

FLIP SIDE, Low road... This is the context in which I personally don't want to hear , or say them in...

An employer .. Would you please get your work done on time. That action should be a given, please is not needed. Now saying thank you for the efficiency in which you handled that task, quite OK to me.

How about this... THANK -YOU for making my life a living hell. Would you really want to thank someone for that.

Hence.. if those words are used in sincerity . To me they can NEVER be used too much!!!

Answer 48

Never! In our society, we have all but forgotton the courtesies that used to be the expected norm. People today seem more rude and crass, and impatient with each other. You can never say "please and thank you" enough. I have found that even as a driver - there are ways to say the same when people let you ahead of them, or some other road courtesy. We need more of it and in that way, we are showing love toward our fellow men. And as trite as it might sound - I need to know and show more love toward people. Thank you. Your question was right on time.

Answer 49

WOW! you have got a lot of responses to this question. and to tell you the truth, this even applies to yes ma'am or yes sir. i think that politeness is a sign of respect. most times though. ppl from the north normally think that when you say ,"yes ma'am, or yes sir", that it is an implication of their age and then they think that you are being rude. i talk on the phones for a living and i am always saying thank you or i am sorry to my customers. but you can always tell when somebody is either a military personnel or southern or both, they are raised that way and it is a true sign of respect. so my answer to you is that i don't think that these words or phrases can be used enough. needs to be used more. what do you think?

Answer 50

it's on thing to be polite, but over use of anything is bad. and in todays' society the last thing you want is to sound like a doormat that is always asking rather than taking initiative. ya know?

Answer 51

Thank you for this question :-).



Personally I appreciate if people say please and thank you and I would love to hear it being used more frequently. But probably there are cultural differences involved in its usage and the interpretation of the words.



People from one country will tell you in another way to express their gratitude, but in another country it is impolite not to use it. If a person from a country like the latter travels to another one, they may be regarded as dependent or overly polite when they travel to another where it is less the habit to say thanks or please. It may seem a bit redundant to say it all the time. It's good to show that we appreciate each other, though and that we remain polite!



"thank you" could be used in a sceptical way, as in "thank you for smoking" or like in "i'm not fat,thank you very much". That's probably not the usage to which you referred but such remarks can be used too much indeed.

Answer 52

No these are good and uplifting words that we all need to use more often along with smiles, nods and pats on the back. These things may appear to not have any effect on people all the time but occasionally they will hit a mark and be a positive thing in someone's day. This makes it worthwhile.

Answer 53

If used in the palace of courtesy, certainly No., if as a gesture of appreciation and you are not a beggar, then it is still very ok and cannot be too much. If you are a beggar, always asking, the words will loose it relevance after a time and in no time. Be a giver and not the asking.

Answer 54

No.



I went to a chinese restaurant the other day and I was straining my brain to come up with the few words I had learned years ago. All I could remember was "please" and "thank you". The first time I said 'please' or "thank you" to the server, her eyes lit up and she gushed and responded with what I believed to have been the equivalent of "you're welcome".



I felt silly, saying those same two words over and over again throughout the duration of the meal, and I thought that I was "saying it too much". I was quite conscious of each time I said either pleasantry. But I don't think it ever occured to her that I might have been over-using "please" and "thank you", I think she was just touched that someone cared enough to attempt to speak her language, even if all they could say were two pleasantries.

Answer 55

yes, it's overuse is sickening but sadly it's not used enough too. The ones who use please and thank you over and over for every tiny little thing don't really mean it, they are just trying to be polite no matter what and it's sickening. Yes you should be courteous and say it when you mean it and in cases where it's expected, people should know when and when not to say it. And it's not used enough alot of times because people are not taught respect and manners in these days. A simple "Hey thanks" is nice to hear instead of swearing.

Answer 56

i think the better question is are "please" and "thank you" used too little? my answer to your question is definitely not, and to answer my own question/comment, the answer is definitely.



its an unfortunate reality that these common courtesies have fallen by the wayside; people have opted for a sense of being "entitled" to get what they want. many parents are not teaching their children manners, etiquette, and those important exchanges that are common courtesy and pleasantry. worse still, many don't practice courtesy in front of their children. unfortunately those that do teach courtesy, manners and etiquette are fighting an uphill battle against outside influences.



please and thank you can't ever be said too much. i love hearing those two words and for as much as i love hearing them, i MUST say them as well because i am NOT entitled to anything, even if i've earned it.

Answer 57

"Please and thank you" are words that are very easy to say when you say it without meaning. But when you say it with a meaning (from the bottom of your heart), you feel like you have the respect from all people in the world. It depends to a person. If a person thinks that he/she is using too much of these words, the other person that he/she is referring to, might not think that it is. Instead, when you say these words all the time, you will gain respect from the people. So, please don't stop using these simple but meaningful little words.

Answer 58

to be honest in today's society, i don't think it's used enough. It shows u have respect , manners and sincerity. However, i do feel in a one on one situation it can get to be a little too much when one person continually says pls and thk u to u , it is almost a little patronizing and condescending...or else it's just a sign of an insecure person not sure of what else to say. But in general, i feel it is just mutual respect of one another, something we all should work on

Answer 59

I stopped using the word please for the most part except when it is emphasized as a point of sarcasm. I joked with people that saying please in this context anticipates that something will be done without it happening, whereas saying thank you in a warm tone may make it clear that it really is appreciated (and is most commonly said after something is done anyway). But under the joke was the serious notion that there is really no way to impart meaning into the word please without implying that you think someone might not do what you are asking. And how often will that truly happen?

Answer 60

While it might become slightly annoying, I'd say it's a better idea to err on the side of caution and use them too much rather than not enough. People will be more repulsed by a lack of manners than by too much.

Answer 61

It always depends on the situation, but one time where I feel that you can never use it too much is when you're out at a restaurant. I make sure to say thank you every time they bring me a new water or whatever.

Answer 62

Definetly! People say them WAY too much these days, because of all this i guesss people are getting way too annoyed. I get like that sometimes when I'm around families that spend too much time together.

Answer 63

yes...they can be over used...





someone that is trying to brown nose or kiss butt to someone else can over use these words. Someone that is fake makes me ill.



On the otherhand, I think that we should respect our elders, and use "please and thank you." I think people need to be more old fashioned and address elders (people older than ourselves), as "Mr or Mrs." We need to use "yes ma'am and yes sir....no sir, no ma'am." The world has lost their respect for others and it is sad. I also think we parents need to go back to the good old fashioned "butt spanking" when our kids are out of line. The good Book says "spare the rod, spoil the child." It says to use the "rod of correction" on our children.



Parents don't discipline anymore, and then wonder why their children are out of line at school, teen parents and bank robbers. Rapists and molesters. Murderers and adulterers. Drug dealers and alcoholics. They wanna go on Maury Povich asking for his help saying they can't control their children. Oh my....the day I need to go on one of those shows saying I can't control my children is the day that my grandparents will roll over in their graves. The day that my dad should get that "rod of correction" and BEAT ME STUPID with it. I am 31 years old with 4 children, and each one of them will NEVER tell me to shut up, NEVER tell me no, and if they grow up to be the horrible things I mentioned above, well GUESS WHAT!? It won't be because of my parenting skills. My children haven't been spanked in a long time, and we have a WONDERFUL relationship, BUT all I have to do is give a look, and they know that they better stop what they are doing, and they better stop NOW. When I say "no" it doesn't mean "not yet, yes" it means NO. And they won't adress me as "old lady" or "hag" or whatever else I hear these kids referring to their mothers as. Instead I get papers hung on my fridge that say "i love my mom" or "my mom is the best"



My kids are 7,9,10 and 12. 3 girls and a boy.



WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Answer 64

As a polite means of interchange between people, no, I don't think they can be used too much.



However, I've witnessed the above used tongue in cheeck to convey an opposite meaning, like:



"I have all the answers and don't need your help, thankyouverymuch."



So, in the case of overuse, I say no.

In the case of misuse, I say sometimes, yes.

Answer 65

Hi, I didn't think it could be used too much but recently I had to tell one of my daughters to stop thanking me for something. She lives with her dad and every time she was here she was thanking me for a gift I'd bought her.

I like to be thanked but it only has to be said once although I know myself it is often said more than once when really really appreciate something from somebody else but my daughter went way over the top. I felt as if she felt as if she owed me something, can't put into words too well as not the best of writers but with me it only needs to be said once, we can feel the sincerity in the thank you, in their eyes and their mannerisms as they say thank you.

I had to firmly 'tell' her to stop thanking me.

So yes, it can be said too much.

Please can be said too much if the 'please' turns into a form of begging and my kids have often gone on about something that maybe I feel as if inappropriate or simply couldn't give but them going on and on to get their own way is almost a begging. It can get too much because they grow to expect their own way if pleeing with please to get it.

Please again can be used too much.



Generally my kids have manners and use both properly and they consider their manners alot, excuse me (passing wind) pardon me (burbing) please and thankyou which is good. It doesn't take a lot to have manners and show a little politeness to others.

Answer 66

regarding manners and politeness, "please" and "Thank you" are social lubricants in a machine that does not work too well in the first place. People who scoff at these social customs are throwing sand into an already failing machinery. Such behavior is at least worthy of corporal punishment up to but not including ostracization. Shooting the fool may be momentarily gratifying, but it will get you talked about.

Answer 67

No,it actually can't...manners and politeness,especially in this day and age,are more important than ever...the social interaction and the cliche',"...you don't get a second chance to make a first impression..."emphasizes this fact;how we present ourselves ,and how others present themselves to us gives us an idea of how each individual acts and/or reacts to different people or places;on the other hand,the tone of voice we use to present those words to others can be a put off,especially if we become whiny,begging or condescending...

Answer 68

No....Chris, it is very proper and yo Will glean a better echelon...now don't be subservient...and if someone slags you for being polite, it only means that they are NOT.....lovely question ...wish you the Best....you have so many answers that I doubt that you will see this before you pick one, but I am doing this out of ethics. I usually do polls and surveys, astrology and phlosophy, music and science...... and your question came up in a different way.....I was chosen MUCH to my surprise.....I don't know you..however, that doesn't matter....it is Always the correct thing to do to say Please and thank you, hello and Goodbye....so for now...Hello, Goodbye and Thank You.

Answer 69

My first thought would be no, I mean it is about courtesy and respect to others. So of course, my second thought would be maybe. Maybe people throw it around just because with no backing. No real thank you and not really meaning please...but using them because it will get them what they need...praise, a hand, a glance for the right direction...



Just a thought.

Answer 70

Respect can never be used to much. The problem with this day and age is that not enough parents are teaching respect to self and others. Like they should be. Think about it. How many kids do you know that say please and thank you at all?

Answer 71

Yes, I do. There definitely needs to be balance in all things. I have heard people over use these words and I just want to say "OK...I get it!!!" There are times when they are not used at all and I think "How rude is that" So there are appropriate times to use these words when the time is right. I'm sorry could also be put in that category.

Answer 72

No, it can never be used or missused too much. Its a sign of respect and appreciation to others. It makes the other person feel that their effort are worth while and hey are not been taken for granted.

Answer 73

No they are used in being polite and it's out of respect ! I have 2 kids ages 3 and 4 and I raise them to be polite to everyone, it only takes that 1 word to make someones' day

Answer 74

No, I don't think it's used often enough. I work in retail and I can't get over how rude people are now. They're very demanding and have no manners whatsoever. It's sad but now I've actually come to appreciate the people who do use those words since it seems rare now. People just aren't teaching their children any manners now either.

Answer 75

Bollywood, Indian art, literature, fashion, and cuisine, the values of Ashoka, Akbar and Gandhi, and the pluralism of our civilization, constitutes our “soft power”. As a society with a free press and a thriving mass media, with a people whose creative energies are daily encouraged to express themselves in a variety of appealing ways, India has an extraordinary ability to tell stories that are more persuasive and attractive than those of its rivals. Is this, rather than nuclear weapons, industrial growth or military might, our real global USP? How credible is our soft power in the face of poverty, communal violence, corruption and caste discrimination?

Answer 76

The only person I know of that says "thank you" too much is on the Closer.



lol

Answer 77

I personally don't think they can be used too much. Of course this is coming from someone who once thanked a state police man for giving me a speeding ticket!

Answer 78

Absolutely not.



Can you respect someone too much? No. You can become obsessed with them, but that is not respecting them.



Please and thank you can never be used too much, especially in our thankless society. I work at a coffee shop and I think about 5% of the customers thank me. That is disappointing. ((Please understand, I'm not whining about that.))



All I'm saying is that everyone needs to use these words more often.



Thanks for reading this.

Answer 79

These two are ameliorative expressions designed to bring about a soothing effect. Sometimes they help stave off an awkward situation, other times they are deemed to be a sign of courtesy, a part of etiquette.You may not use them profusely but never miss using them when they are needed.

Answer 80

Sometimes but they r used in good ways that is why they are used 2 much but it never gets annying inless u have friend who says it all the time





Want 2 b friends e mail me AT

[e-mail]

Answer 81

Yes. Example: A child's "Please, please, PUH-LEEEEEZE?" is blatant begging.

The comic bit, "Thank you," "No, thank you," "NO, thank YOU," "No, thank YOU" is a bit much, also.

However, in general, these two words of "common courtesy" are not common enough and should be used as much as possible.

The one I ponder is "No problem." I will say thank you to a server, and even a person at the register at McDonald's, for taking/bringing my order and, almost consistently, anyone about 30 or younger will respond - if at all - with "No problem." Something has changed in our culture there; they apparently don't feel comfortable with "You're welcome" but feel they need to say something.

Answer 82

No! In fact I do not think it is used enough. People don't teach their children manners preiod. Please, thank you, oh excuse me for bumping into you, have a blessed day, the list goes on. People are rude, children are rude. A little smile and some good manners go a very long way. Thank you for you time. Valducci.

Answer 83

I believe it can be when it is being used to impress a boss, or just someone of which you have alterior motives for being too nice. Yes it should be used often to show appreciation and respect. It's just one of those simple little gestures in everyday life that could truly make someones day when they felt invisible, or unimportant!

Answer 84

No, they can be used to much but the more you use them the better off of a person you will become.. With the use of these words people will think better of you... Using these words are just a sign of RESPECT... So no you don't use these words to much!!

Answer 85

A tablespoon of respectable behavior goes down much smoother than a 1/2 teaspoon of rudeness and disrespect

Answer 86

Yes. It can be used too much. It can also be misused, as in a "please" that is said too late.



Where it is used too much is when you are working for someone and perform brief tasks, before asking your "superior" for your next task. You keep asking them what to do and they keep telling you, with a delayed "please" at the end which becomes patronizing and even evolves into a bullying comment after time.

Answer 87

Yes. Too many "pleases" and "thank you's" start to become insincere after a while. The person becomes saturated with these words, tunes them out, and may start to think you never meant them in the first place.

Answer 88

I don't think it's used enough. The other day I helped a 5 year old get something off of a shelf. The kid took the item and didn't say a thing. I thought that was rude. My parents taught me to respect others by saying please, thank you, yes ma'am, no sir, etc.

Answer 89

most certainly, if you overdo it, then it loses its value. Its like saying to someone you love: I love, I love you, I love you all the time of the day - eventually it will lose its meaning/value and you won't believe that person anymore. But, yes its a good thing to be courteous, there should be a balance - not determined by emotions but determined by the right attitude and motive e.g. to make someone feel more comfortoble or at home i.e. a tourist that visits your country.

Answer 90

I would much rather hear someone using "please and thank you" than the current "no problem" that store workers and clerks offer up these days. Heck, if I had thought there was a potential problem in the first place, I wouldn't have said "thank you" to begin with. If you are guilty of the "no problem" response to another person's "thank you", next time try, "you're welcome" and watch the recipient of your comment light up with appreciation. So much more meaningful than "no problem."

Answer 91

the words "please" and "thank you" are very respectful and show that you have good manners and are a gracious person.



while you would think that these wonderful words could not be overused think about this:



-anything done superfluously can become obnoxious, if you know what i mean. you will almost make the person that you are talking to feel awkward. and when a word is overused it seems to loose its genuinity and meaning.



just use the words in moderation and everything will be fine: i would say that using moderation applies for most words.



-always mind your manners, but don't go overboard!! say "please" and "thank you" when appropriate!!



i hope that this helps!!

Answer 92

I don't believe so. Manners are for everyone - from a CEO down to the janitor - both for them to use in their professional and personal dealings and for them to be addressed in a respectful mannerly way with please and thank you. I honestly don't think manners, if sincerely expressed, can be said too much or too often or to a "class", "race" or "age group" not deserving of.

Answer 93

Only if used repeatedly within a matter of moments. It is respectful and courteous, but it can be irritating to some. The best rule is to feel out the person and if they seem annoyed you might be "too " gracious for their tastes!

Answer 94

That is what is wrong with society we dont respect each other enough any more we just take each other for granted it takes a second to say please and thank you and helps break down that invisible wall we all have so i think no way no how it can be used to much

Answer 95

I think they can be used to much in one sitting because overuse can erode sincerity. If you really mean it, then don't be afraid. However, my mother used to say that "I'm sorry" is supposed to mean "I will try my best not to do that again". If you find yourself saying it for the same thing over and over, some people might questions how sorry you really are. Good luck!

Answer 96

Yes Sometimes

Answer 97

There is no way that please and thank you can be used to much. In this day and age, there are so many disrespectful people that can even move out of the way when they see a wheel chair. I have 3 kids and I say please and thank you to them and I have noticed that they even say it to each other. I think a little bit of politeness goes along way!!

Answer 98

The words specificallly themselves? Yes, it is possible. You can come off as desperate or as a brown-noser. The message should always be there, though, when called for. The key is finding clever ways to say "Thanks", or pay respect in proper ways. "I apprecite it" or "That's wonderful!" are some other ways of getting the point across. A little enthusiasm doesn't hurt either.

Answer 99

Over use or even better thoughtless use, steals meaning and these things become a preparatory grunt or an acknowledgment. "It is the thought that counts". Just as empty promises and blatant flattery are the marks of poor character, these words without the backing sentiments are indicative of manipulative people. Actual gratitude is more rewarding than an apathetic "thank you".

Answer 100

Yes. 'Cause there are people who asks somebody or someone to do things and errands every other minute. Just like in the office, the relationship between one in a higher position and a lower one. The higher one says to the other, "please do this for me, thanks.." that you don't even get the chance to say, " sorry I can't". Believe me I know 'cause I always get into situations like this. Those people who are so called "higher" than someone else thinks that the one lower than them ought to do what what they say, like slaves, no if's no but's. They just use the "Please.." and the "Thank you" to show people around them that they're "as if" making a polite request

Answer 101

nope! I agree with some of the answers,that they are overly used,but they also show good manners. Children today aren't raised to show manners. I live in what is termed as the "ghetto" and there are always compliments to my kids and to me that they are raised with manners. I taught them manners from childhood,so when I am not around,they are mannerly. Those words display common courtesy,and are not used often enough!

Answer 102

When it becomes ineffective and used in an manner where the person saying it doesn't mean it; yes these words can be used too much.

Answer 103

Thank you and please are signs of respect; rather than just expecting these things! They are manners, which can never be used too much could be used not enough by many people in this world!

Answer 104

Definately. They have both become almost catch words that people use not so much as ways of being polite, but as almost magic words which they think will get them whatever they want. Strictly in MY OPINION, if someone says thank-you, I will often ask them "for what" just to see if they really mean it, and often, they have no idea what for.

Answer 105

It is always polite, BUT my kids sure think that just because they said "please" then they should get what they want. They think it truly is the magic word, not a polite addition to a request. As for thank you, I am not sure that it is used enough. Even tho some folks give a perfunctory, "thank you", the well-meant ones make up for those.

Answer 106

people used to complain at me for using them too much and i would always apologise for using them which just made people even more annoyed but if you ask me people are never happy and if people are going to find fault with you they will find fault with you no matter what you do so you should always be yourself and if that means being polite all the time and annoy some people in the process then that's their fault for being so damn sensitive and sooner or later you will find someone who will appreciate you(i hope so anyway)

Answer 107

I work retail. Every now and then I get a customer who says "thank you" to EVERYTHING, including stupid things that no one else would ever say thank you too. Yes, it CAN be used too much, but I think it is rare that it is.

Answer 108

In a world where people are so rude, I honestly don't think you could use it too much. I do say it alot, and people look at me odd. But I don't care, in customer service or anything else, it's refreshing to hear people acting like they appreciate others' help.

Answer 109

Well these words may be conventional, but as the newer generation comes along, it may not sound cool to use it and it may be replace with other word or a contemporary slang. Hence, I reckon it is not used as much as in the past.

Answer 110

I used to get teased at my old job becuase I used both like 3-4 times everytime I was on the intercome. So, maybe.

Answer 111

I don't believe that in society the are used enough. However, I work with all women and I have noticed that we say please, thank you, and sorry to the point of exhaustion sometimes. At one point I worked on a crew of all men and me, that group did not have the same problem with please, thank you, or sorry. Of course, the four letter words (that I can't put here) that they over used are a different subject.

Answer 112

No, not really. It is NOT used enough these days. I get so aggervated when I say thank you to someone (like a waiter) and they just walk away.



I am only 22 and I do appreciate it when people say it. When I have kids they will learn to be polite and say it.

Answer 113

The tone of the voice one uses can vary the actual meaning of the words"please" and "thank you". When one uses them in a sincere manner there should be no limit, but when one is being sarcastic they should be restrained.

Answer 114

I've often said that "Please" and "Thank you" are the most important expressions in any language. When ever I travel to a foriegn country where I don't know the language, that's the first thing I learn. Sometimes, it's bee the only words I've known in a foriegn country. Both have served me very well.

Answer 115

No, you can never use those words enough. It is a sign or respect.



There are also words that I do NOT think are used enough like, I'm Sorry and excuse me.



And another thing that is missing from children is calling other adult/elders by the first name instead of calling them by Mr./Ms. or Mrs followed by there last name.

Answer 116

well it completely depends. to me, using them too much means that you've said it 2 times or more in the last 2-3 minutes. i hate it especially when you're complementing or just talking and they interrupt with a please or a thank you. but used whenever necessary to be polite, please and thank you are usually used too little.

Answer 117

However, I agree that they're not said enough. It cost nothing to say them.

Answer 118

i don't think so... the world we live in has a whole lot of rude to make up for! we could use a slight over abundance of manners for a good long while.

Answer 119

It really can be used too much, and can get annoying. Especially if it isn't said honestly. Altough it is nice to use it pretty often, but like they say..."Too much of anything, is a bad thing."

Answer 120

Yes

Answer 121

Well, some people certainly have the potential to make ANYTHING annoying, but as a general rule NO. It's these simple, painless, little civilities that make the world a better place.

Answer 122

"Please" and "thank you" are signs of courtesy!Those words are beautiful music that we hear and give compliments to everyone of us!Those lines were over used as in everyday life we want to say or hear that from anybody that we mingled everyday!This is a worldwide tradition that starts within the family and and businesses saying thank you and please preserving harmonious relationship between and among the people and must never be changed and to passed hand to hand to every generation ahead! I am glad to hear those words that gives everyone a big smile without a cost and using it in my daily living!

Answer 123

Yes. Knowing where the line is between too little and too much is important.

Answer 124

Please and thank you can be used as much as you want but they are thank you like you don't mean it or they are thank you like a thank you that is what so ever. the same thing is with a please there are people they mean it and feel it or there are people that don't care and just say it because they are use to say a thank you and Please in a manner that they do care or don't it all depends.

Answer 125

ANYTHING can be used too much, imo. Excessive manners are just as annoying as anything else in life. As Aristotle preached, all things in moderation. That goes for the good as well as the bad, I think.

Answer 126

Absolutely not! I'm from the South and was brought up to always say please, thank you, pardon, forgive me, etc. No one else does this anymore...



I think it reflects the way our society currently accepts the "anything goes" mentality. This might be why our standards keep sliding lower and lower. Sorry for the lecture, class:)



I miss it very much!

Answer 127

Yes

Answer 128

Yes, definitely. Please too much can make you seem like people can walk all over you. It should be used but be careful...I've found that it can back fire.



Thank you too much will make people think you are not being genuine. It's better to pick your moment and make the thank you meaningful.

Answer 129

I do not think thank you is said to much. I say thank you to every customer I wait on and most of the time I get a yea in response. I get so tired of this it makes me want to stop saying it . but I keep saying it because I think every customer should be thanked.

Answer 130

Chris, and you know this--it's not a matter of being used "too much".



It's that people use polite words thoughtlessly, mechanically,, without feeling, as if they were robots,...



without paying attention to what they say, nor to its influence on the hearer...



and then all those social niceties become MEANINGLESS.

Answer 131

Only if someone is being blatantly sarcastic. Frankly, in serious meaning, they are not nearly used enough. Along with sorry, and pardon me. There are a lot of rude people in the world.

Answer 132

This is a respectful way of showing common courtesy toward others. I see no harm in people saying this too much.

Answer 133

'than you' actually can.



Don't ask me why, but to get into the building where I work, you have to go through 3 sets of doors about 8 feet apart. By the time you get to the third set, 'thank you' starts getting real old to the person holding the door open for you.



-Dio

Answer 134

Believe it or not.... YES.



There is a waiter at one of the restaurants I go often. He uses "thank you" in just about every response. He uses so much, it sounds fake, insincere, and sometimes, just very odd.



Yes, he is a native English speaker.



But usually, they are not used when they are called for.

Answer 135

NO,,NEVER,,if anything they need to be used more!!! too many of our young never say or use these words,,,they show nothing but lack of respect for anyone or anything these days,,,take a trip to our southern states and you will hear it at almost any business, but not up north where I live!!!

Answer 136

yes. you've ever heard a person continuously aologizing? it could be to his boss or his wife. it's usually a sign of weakness.



also, people say they're sorry for things they're not sorry about. i mean, don't say you're sorry unless you're sorry - thus avoiding exectations of changed behavior.



consider if your job requires discretion. your a mortgage underwriter and a potential client doesn't have the credit score or income to give them the loan they seek. you shouldn't be sorry that you're doing your job, although its good to be symathetic.



i don't think thank you can be said too much though.

Answer 137

i truly do not believe they can be when used in a polite manner in the proper sense they were meant to be used. these words can make the difference in receiving poor or great service in many restaurants and fast food stores. the reception of using these words in the proper form is usually good from my personal experience.

Answer 138

i don't think so. because in my observation, not all people use this. only some. maybe if we used them too much, the others would realize that they should say please and thank you when they are supposed to. i think good manners in this world has deteriorated. and a good reminder would be using it all the time for others to hear.

Answer 139

Never! They are so under used these days. Too many people just demand you do something, and don't bother to thank you for doing it. That is REALLY annoying and rude.

Answer 140

Yes, I believe so! I had an experience in the store, where I started feeling uncomfortable, when the lady at the cash register kept on saying thank you every two seconds.... strange

Answer 141

If you are referring to a child the answer is no. If you are talking about adults, manners should be your guide as when to use or acknowledge thank you or please. Your personal actions in common curtsy can reflect your personality and how you come across to other people. If you are not polite it shows and also if you are over polite, your impression is mushy.

Answer 142

no not hardly, these days they are hardly said! It use to be politeness and a sign of respect!! No one says excuse me anymore when they walk in front of you, or almost knock you down! Where has common courtesy gone? Try saying Hi to someone on the street or how are you, half the people don"t respond, so no to your question!!

Answer 143

I think they show respect, however they can be used too much. As in being called Sir I think that it can become repetitive and alomost mundane. Like a robot spouting off what he is told.

Answer 144

In my opinion they can be used to much, particularly by persons who don't mean what they say. Those make these words seem unimportant, with the effect that we don't find powerful words to express our feelings when being truly thankful!

Answer 145

Never too much. Less slang would be nice, but then again, I'm sure I spoke in a foreign language from time to time, too, when I was younger.

Answer 146

yes. You have to be careful that you dont make yourself look like a geek. But on the other hand, if you dont say it at all...You can look like a jerk. Cause when you use the magic words way too much...They lose thier taste.

Answer 147

I don't believe thank you can be used enough (unless you say it excessively, like 3 or 4 times in a sentence). Please I sometimes think is overused. I think I use it too much, especially in emails.

Answer 148

Gosh, I can't tell whether you want a "real" answer or another kind. Whatever, I feel that in order to show "respect" it is always proper to use the words "please" and "thank you". However, I'm from the "old school" of people who still think there needs to be "respect" shown to others.

Answer 149

Absolutely not. Like another blogger commented, it is a form of respect to others. I honestly believe you can change the demeanor and temperment of a person with kind words and a smile.

Answer 150

Being from the south, I was raised up saying "Please and Thank You" to everyone.

We raised our two children to do the same, and they both have people tell them often how nice it is to hear to people with such good manners.

As their Mother it pleases me very much that I continued our tradition and taught them to be respectful To all, and I personally use good manners too.

Answer 151

Only in appropiate times. Some people over do it and repeat it several times that t diminishes it value. It also depends how the person says it. If they use sarcasm then those words are worthless.

Answer 152

I guess they could be used excessively. There would be a limit to how often a 'thank you' is being expressed before the sincerity of it would become flattery and obsequious behavior.



The result would be a fawning individual who's motives become suspect.

Answer 153

omg, yes!!! I work as a directory assistance operator and every time we open our mouth to a customer we are supposed to say "thank you," and so many times it just doesn't fit, so people think we are idiots. A lot of people get mad at us and come back with "what're you thanking me for?" I then have to explain we are required to say that as an acknowledgement to most everything. Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest.

Answer 154

Some people may say no, but if sorry can used too much, why not please and thank you? Especially when it comes from a little kid trying to get their way.

Answer 155

PLEASEpleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeeeeeee PLEASEpleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeeeeeee

PLEASEPLEASEpleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeePLEASEpleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeeeeeee

PLEASEpleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeeeeeee

pleaseThankYouthankyoupleeeaasseeeeeeeee.



Yes....'please' and 'thank you' can be used too much!!!

Answer 156

Well, i think they can be used but not too much. only when you ask someone to do something or to let you pass and of course then you'll have to say thank you. anyway they're not bad words and they hurt no one. so use them when you feel you have to.

Answer 157

Yes if you say it like.... unnecissarily... like... twenty times in a row for no reason =P But generally... i guess not...



wait... maybe to someone that gets irritated by the words it can be used too much but... meh.

Answer 158

Sometimes it can be especially if it really isn't the person's heart. Sometimes people will say thank you for something that you've done for them but never really show their gratitude.



Not that people always have to go above and beyond to show gratitude but sometimes I think they know that they can do more than just say thank you for certain things but they just don't want to.

Answer 159

NEVER! people have failed to remeber how important it is to be polite. politeness, common courtesies make such a difference when talking to people, whether on the phone or in person. keep being polite and teach the kids manners too. nothing is more impressive than a three year old that says please and thank you. shows they have great parents. :)

Answer 160

Sadly,the use of good manners has been on a steady decline. That is seen by some historians as a sign of the decline of a civilization.

Answer 161

No! When I say please others respond in kind. When I say thank you, they are happy to have helped. It helps foster new friendships and can be fantastic in the business and professional community. Not to mention networking. Social politeness is beginning to be a lost art. How sad. Never regret being polite!

Answer 162

Sincerely, No. Over used Yes.

Answer 163

Not if used in the right manner. Some people are just so polite they can't help themselves. There are so few people in this world with actual manners any more, that it's nice to hear.

Answer 164

I was eating at a Jack in the Box fast food place with a few of my friends, and i realized that I wanted some ketchup. So I walked up to the counter, and said "Can I get some ketchup?"

Answer 165

So why did the word please seem to have no meaning to someone who was new to the language (well, ignoring the fact that it was obviously fiction, of course!)? Obviously the fact that it is used so often tends to water down the meaning, until it is almost brought down to the level of a particle in English -- a sound that you say at certain times because it is sort of expected.

Answer 166

I don't believe that it can be used too much actually I don't think there used enough

Answer 167

absolutely not!!! these words show respect and manners and cannot be over used.



personally, I find that these are two of the most under used words in the English language, at least here in the states.

Answer 168

No, they cannot under normal circumstances. Today, these 2 words are not used enough. "Please" and "thank you" show respect...and, today, as a society, we think we are owed everything; so, we don't use "please" and "thank you" often. Next time you are out and about, be cognizant of how many people use these 2 words...especially in service-oriented environments like grocery and department stores.



Have a great day.

Answer 169

Good manners are never out of style or used to much. Only rudness and bad manners are ever over used.

Answer 170

No, please and thank you can not be used too much. Just along as u are sincere.If a child learns this at an early age it will come naturally.

Answer 171

no i dont think so. Good manners are one of the few things that dont cost anything these days but by using them you're showing respect and that you care enough about other peoples feelings and the time/effort they are taking to do/give you what your asking or what you're doing for them

Answer 172

Yes, it can get annoying, and can also sound patronizing if said too much in a single conversation. There's a "line to be drawn" people.

Answer 173

I would definitely rather see someone use to very often than not at all. Too many people today show no respect for others!

Answer 174

They can be used to much when someone uses them in a sarcastic and disrespectful manner. Small children and teenagers tend to do this a lot when they are mocking their parents.

Answer 175

No because the value of those words just increases as they are said but the person who is saying it needs to also see if these words are used appropraitely

Answer 176

Thank you for asking.



They show respect, courtesy and sensitivity - all qualities of personality and communication that are rare these days.



Please, continue to ask more questions on Yahoo!Answers.



I wish you Peace.

Answer 177

Never. I grew up with that decades ago and I still use them both all day long. I would feel naked if I did not say thank you when someone keeps a door open for me.

Answer 178

It is barely ever used, but yes it is possible for it to be used too much.

Answer 179

Please and thank you can never be used too much. It shows that you are polite and that you have respect for that person. People don't say it as often as they should.

Answer 180

No I think not. But my brothers get really upset with my husband when he says sorry too much for things like calling his parents on a holiday.



Thank you for asking. Please keep asking more questions.

Answer 181

Sometimes if you say it for everything, then it sounds like you're being sarcastic. But in most situations, it isn't used too much, or often enough.

Answer 182

Yes. If you say, "Could you please *insert task here* please?" it sounds like one is begging. If you start to do the task, and they say thank you then, then again mid task, then again at the end of the task, it is annoying. I know it is showing respect, but it can also be taken as sarcasm. Use the proper amount for the situation. If you give someone a glass of milk, and they thank you like you just gave them tickets to something...

Answer 183

Yes. When your kid is begging for something and they say, "but pleasssse, Mom., pleassssse, I'll never ask for anything else, I promise, ok? Pleassssse!" That will definately drive you crazy.

And then there is the case where you get two super polite people. For instance, you say thanks to your boyfriend for taking you to dinner and he says, "no, thank you for going out with me," and you say, " you are the one that should be thanked, you paid for it and was really expensive," and he says, "but I want to thank you because you are worth it and I am happier with you." You get the picture......this can go on and on until it becomes a fight over who should be thankful to whom!

Answer 184

Some people do go a bit overboard, but I think it's better if someone says these words too often than not at all.

Answer 185

Politeness can never be used too much.

Answer 186

No. I feel these words show respect and ca never be used too much!

Answer 187

No, not really. It is called manners!!! When you don't say please or thank you, sometimes it says that you're not being appreciative of the other person. We all need to show appreciation for the other person. And it doesn't matter whether it is your family, friends or the cashier in your local store!!!!

Answer 188

I believe there are people like me who use it way to much and drive others crazy. There is also those who do not say them at all. I believe we should always say them and teach are children to say them. I think those of us that say it too much are trying to make up for those who don't say it at all.

Answer 189

No, that is the proper etiquitte, If someone does not say please and thank you then, they are rude. If they do, then they are polite people. However, using those were can get kind og annoying if you use them to get your on way or nag a person half to death.

Answer 190

Not if you say it sincerely. But if you just mumble a quick please or thank you that is considered rude and it's very annoying. There's not point in saying it if you can't say it right. Say it as much as you want as long as you take the time to say it clearly and nicely.

Answer 191

Manners and respect never go out of style, and can never be used too much.

Answer 192

I think if anything, "please" and "thank you" are used too little. Of course, if you were to say something like, "Could you please get me that cup off the table please?" that might be a little much, but I think saying those things means you are showing respect - something that has been lost in this day and age.

Answer 193

Yes, if you don't mean it but think you are polite, I rather have the honest grumble. Parents saying "what do you say?" instead of letting their children learn by example, if they get overexcited, forget or whatever reason they don't say it--better nothing than to hear that annoying phrase.

Answer 194

Definitely. Sometimes when it's overdone, you just feel this person is trying too hard and not being their true selves. It's as if they are wearing their Sunday clothes in an effort to impress you.



There are appropriate times to use those words and times they just don't fit - so stop already. PLEASE!

Answer 195

By a small child? Probably. But in general, no. Politeness is all too rare these days.

Answer 196

Yes: it comes to the point where overuse-not in the same dialogue-but maybe directed at the same object could undermine it's value. Scoot them off to the cliche(accent aigu please) dungeon. Or accent grave, I might have gotten it mixed up, pardon me please. Merci, tu es tres(accent grave s'il vous plait) gentil! Here's a word I coined together from self-effacing and effusive that I once actually thought existed: effacious.

Answer 197

Yes. Canadians for example use it too much. Some asian cultures use it repeatedly in their approach and replies. Don't use it too often for mundane requests for fully expected paid services.

Answer 198

It is possible to use "please" and "thank you" too much, although it's not a bad thing if you do. I think that saying them once during a conversation, transaction, etc., should suffice. You've already said "thank you" once, so the other person knows that you appreciate their helping you, and also "please" should only come once. Another person should be more than willing to help after a simple "please".

Answer 199

One problem with the current generation is the lack of manners. Showing some form of consideration for someone else is far-fetched for most of them. A few small gestures, such as "please," 'thank you," and even "you're welcome" can go a long way in helping relationships.

Answer 200

When is common courtesy ever too much for anyone? Everyone deserves and should expect some level of respect from everyone else around them so saying "please" and "thank you" are just one of the many ways to extend that courtesy. Teaching these simple manners to each other and our children will instill values of respect for those around us and that helps everyone.

"Your Welcome."

Answer 201

Using those terms do show that you have manners however, I think they can.



Have you ever met someone who said "I'm sorry" 20 times in one conversation? It's like a self esteem issue or something that bothers them psychologically.

Answer 202

Not at all, I think they are not used enough. That use to be a part of being raised, However I do not think it is very important to anyone anymore. It is very polite to say please and thank you, it shows you have respect for others and that you respect yourself.

Answer 203

Can be used only to an extent, not too much

Answer 204

Yeaaaaa

Answer 205

Yes!!! My brother does it all the time. He will thank me for everything. I swear he will say it like five times in one day. If you overuse it, it makes it seem less sincere. I think he does it just to talk. Lol!!! He is 24 years old.

Answer 206

Yes, I think that it is not very polite to say these words more than twice per sentence in conversation, or three times per paragraph in writing. This is because these words can irritate people if used too much as they can make the person feel like they do too much for you. ("Please ... and please..." or "Sorry for... and really sorry about...")

Answer 207

no never, it show goodness. It can never be over done. Its respectful. I believe in going the extra mile for people. Please and thank you isn't even going the extra mile.. Don't you like others to be kind to you? Its a great question thought, you are a star for asking it, great job.

Answer 208

That is pretty said that someone would think that they are being used to much. In this time they are not being used enough.

Answer 209

Of course!! As with any words, gestures, phrases, etc, the more you use it beyond a certain point, the less meaning it has to the recipients in most cases.

Answer 210

No! Saying please and thank you conveys that you have respect for other people and for yourself as well. I tell my girls to thank the ride operators when they are getting off a ride. Many of the ride workers remember my girls and often allow them to ride more often when the lines are small and no one is waiting in a certain section.

Answer 211

No they can't be. But I do believe that I'm Sorry is used too much though.

Answer 212

At times yes.

Answer 213

Absolutely not. If you have nothing else in life to offer, these two tiny expressions can take you a long way. They are two terms of respect that everyone appreciates.

Answer 214

I do not think it can be used too much. i teach preschool and the children are taught to say please and thank you. Its very cute when they play house and they call each other maam and sir. They like to play house and one child forgot to say thank you and so the older one playing the mommy part said " Dear, in the house we say thank you".

Answer 215

No! Most people do not use these statements enough. If you are grateful for someones help a small gratitude if called for each time. But, people are lazy in this statements.

Answer 216

no. we are living in a society here.As I was looking for someone to help I saw your question and also saw that there were over 950 hits on it. WOW! Thank you for such a great question to get people thinking.Please ask another.

Answer 217

They can be overused til they lose their meaning, but as long as they're accompanied by an attitude that indicates you're actually requesting something politely and that you appreciate what someone has done for you, it's good to use them.

Answer 218

Absolutely not. In fact, I find they are sorely lacking in today's society. More of that might go a long way in repairing some of the damage and bitterness in today's society.

Answer 219

In some cases, yes. Take a child for instance, that knows he or she will get what they want if they say 'please' enough. And you parents and grandparents know exactly what I'm talking about. They have a way of wrapping us around their little fingers when they do that.

Answer 220

Yes, like when you are giving someone a command, please is not needed. And if the person does it then thank you is not needed, like if a teacher assigned her class a worksheet, it is unneeded for her to say thank you when it is turned in because they were supposed to do it. Please and thank you are always nice to hear but they should not always be used.

Answer 221

No they can't! In fact, I think that people need to use them a lot more. It would make the world a much nicer place to live.

Answer 222

Anything can be used too much but I don't feel that I have gotten my share, let alone too many.

Answer 223

Please and thank you cannot be used too much. Better yet, you can say please and thank you and actually mean it. Make a difference. Stop playing shallow, learn some manners and self-respect, and respect for others and actually try to make someone elses day.

Answer 224

People really do not use them enough, there are actually three .

1.Thank you

2Please

3Your welcome is to return thank for #no.1

4. I am sorry

To answer you question no the can never be over used unless you use Please when you start to beg for something other than that no

Answer 225

"TOO MUCH" is the key issue in your question. Any thing can be overused. If I were to use an obscene word, you might be shocked. After I had used the word fifty times, you would be de-sensitized ; it would no longer shock you.

Yes, you can even say "Please" and "Thank You" too much, thank you ! Thanks for posting the question.

Answer 226

Yes, sometimes. People think you humiliate yourself in front of them if you use them too often - but in this case you have to use them really much with no good reason.

Answer 227

I believe in this society that these words aren't used enough. I never get tired of hearing please and thank you. It shows you are polite and respectful and also shows you have manners.



What do you think? Do you think please and thank you are used too much?

Answer 228

No. They are words of courtesy. I don't think they are even being used enough. They need to be used so much that they naturally flow from your mouth.

Answer 229

no need to use too much . in case of ur friends/ people younger than u there is no need . but while talking with older ones than u u should use these words

Answer 230

Common courtesy is always acceptable but not always appropriate. Please should be used when asking someone for something that will be an extra effort on their part or something you don't entirely deserve. Thank you follows a yes answer.

I would find it very annoying for someone to say thank you for everything I do for them and please for every request they make.

Answer 231

If anything, these are not being said enough nowadays, and that's sad. You should be learning how to say "please" and "thank you" at an early age, and continue to use them long into your life, and teach others the importance of respect.

Answer 232

I almost never hear thank you anymore. It has been replaced by have a nice day! I want to be thanked for my business and not be told what kind of a day to have.

Answer 233

Not at all. Means u are well mannered and raised up with values lol im 34 with 14& 15 year old boys, they must say please and thankyou, as well as yes ma'am/sir or no ma'am/ sir. Your polite and kind keep it up. We need more ppl like u around =)

Answer 234

ABSOLUTELY NOT! The fact that you even had to ask that question shows that you were not raised to believe that manners and respect are as important as anything else in life, and as far as I am concerned, probably more so.

Answer 235

absolutely. too much of anything sucks.

one time in a restaurant the waiter put down the dish and the guy said: thank you.

Imagine what the waiter said: "thank you for thanking me!"

Answer 236

I don't think they can be used too much.

Answer 237

When used to simply show respect its great to say please and thank you.



Please and Thank You can both be used to excess, however. When used repeatedly they not only lose their ring of truth and also respect, but can reflect poorly on the person making them sound servile.

Answer 238

You can use them too much. But I think people notice a lot more if you're expected to use it and you miss it even once.

Answer 239

Not really. If you use it like 5 times in one sentence its excessive, other than that I don't think so, there is nothing wrong with being extra polite. In fact, people will appreciate it.

Answer 240

r u kidding ? i hardly ever here it anymore-& i live in the south- home of good manners. babies raisin babies or no one raising there own or parents that let their kids b the parent-- it is a sad society were becoming when no one will hold the door when u r right behind them-- carrying a baby. i am probably one who says it too much- i want ppl to know how much they r appreciated!

Answer 241

I don't think in today's era those two phrases are used enough. They need to be used more. Manners in the world are almost non-existant.

Answer 242

No,if everyone said these words more often,the world would be a better place.I like it when these words are used,i feel good saying them and they are good to here.There words along with a smile makes my day.

Answer 243

Dude! EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE, no EIGHTY answers and STILL counting! Congrats! You rock you little question asker-you! I am soo impressed!

Just for the record...No, please and thank you cannot be used too much. Common courtesy. And I practice what I preach..have ALWAYS without fail said please and thank you to my husband and daughters, family friends and strangers alike. Just common courtesy.

Answer 244

I think it depends on the type of relationship you have with person. If it's someone you're close to they can be interpreted as terms of endearment or just plain curtious in any situation.

Answer 245

No. Being polite has nerer and should never go out of style. Think of how it makes you feel inside, when these words are expressed to you. Arion

Answer 246

No way, being polite should be a way of life for all. I taught my kids at an early age to be polite and respect others.

Answer 247

I work at a boys facility and please and thank you is used to little, so for me to hear please and thank you; I welcome it with opem arms. There are so many youngsters today who don't no the first thing about manners so just maybe if they here it everywhere they go it will become inbedded in their self-conscious. Therefore I feel it takes us as role-models to teach the world PLEASE AND THANK YOU! so in answer to your question my answer is NO!



I have a question for you, can Im sorry be overused.lol for real though put it out there

Answer 248

I do not believe that you can ever be too polite.

Not enough people use manners anymore and it is refreshing to meet someone who says "please" and "thank you". A "yes Ma'am" is a nice thing to hear too. I wish more people would learn to use manners.

Answer 249

I don't think so, its out of respect that you say that. Each time someone does something helpful for you or you need a favor. It is polite to do those things.

Answer 250

no not really. if u use them too much people dont like u as much in the same ratio. everything has a limit bro. use them just when u need them and only when u need them. ( it is tried and tested) :)

Answer 251

Yes,when used too much they begin to sound forced or rude/sarcastic.

Answer 252

Of course it can, but when meeting new people there is never a "too much".

Answer 253

Take it from me, it can...... People drive me up the wall saying things they do not mean.....I aim not to annoy them back by using the same sarcasms, as constantly emphasising elaboretaly.... usually there's a trap door underneath..... Get it?

Answer 254

NEVER! We don't have enough manners these days if you ask me. I think this is a great question. Being respectful to others brings out the best in you - and them.



:)

Answer 255

There are two magic words that can open any door for you; one is please and the other is thank you. They can never be used too much and it is unfortunate that they are used too little. GRRRREAT question. Thank you.

Answer 256

Any words can be used too frequently. To be socially acceptable you should always mix it up a bit.

Answer 257

No, too much of using these words indicates flattering or over curtious.

Answer 258

I think please and thank you can never be used to much but they could be used selectively in order to make the key words more valuable and affective when used .

Answer 259

No the way I was brought up it can't if people today don't like it then you just keep on because that is the respectful thing to do but don't continue just to annoy someone!!!!

Answer 260

Yes if it is used to much in the same sentence/conversation then it sounds fake. But usually its very nice. : )

Answer 261

In my book,yes.Those words can be used too much.

Answer 262

Yes. If it is not genuine.



Sometimes people use it too much, but that's their personality, where they think they must apologize for everty little thing. It's annoying, but not necessarily wrong.

Answer 263

Never..."Please" and "Thank You" are greetings that we actually need to use more in this day and age. It's the lost art of manners and conversation.

Answer 264

It is always a possibility, so it really must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Personally, I don't find excessive "respect" pleasing in any way.

Answer 265

Not at all if the person actually means it. In todays age not many people say please, thank you or excuse me.

I honestly believe that when someone is learning english these are the first words that someone should learn.

Answer 266

Never. Please and Thank you are under-used in today's society.



I think it is very important for people to use these two little words because it is a sign of good manners and respect.

Answer 267

NO, that 2 words are the most important Words

Answer 268

No, there can really not be any such thing (unless you have a whining child going "pppllllllleeeeeeeaaasssse"). Courtesy is one of the few things that makes us full members of society.

Answer 269

I think they can...sometimes foe the most trivial things people use please and thank you...Like why do say thank you to someone for moving out of the way or something....Or why do some people say please for every single little thing...I mean saying please everytime can be a little annoying...I guess yes there are times when please and thank you can be used too much

Answer 270

Normally No.



"BUT"



Potentially yes, by the devious and manipulating individuals to lay on a guilt trip.

Answer 271

In a way. My kid's been using it for 40 years. It makes me want to slam my head against my GRANITE countertop over and over again.

Answer 272

I believe so. In a social setting it can be overused, however, when asking a waiter/waitress or in a formal setting, it is always more polite to over-use than under-use.

Answer 273

Not too much.Please and Thank you shows politeness.Also Sorry.I can still rremember my teacher asking us to use these three words in appropriate situations.

Answer 274

Good manners can never be used too much.

Answer 275

No, Please and thankyou are respectful and polite and in our society where common courtousy is becoming ever the more scarce politeness is definitely a welcome way to break the ice between strangers.



Please and thankyou can never be overused because if someone is genuinly thankful and its more than a common courtousy, its noticable, you would 'know' they are truely thankful. Same for please. I think that its always a good think to offer courtousy, its showing people you accept their existence, as well as your own and respecting them for it.

Answer 276

Certainly yes. Over usage of these words will depend on how overenthusiastic the user is.

Answer 277

If the opportunities offer for you to 'please' or to thank, then they are never too much.

We can use synonyms if they words, per se, become too much.

On the other hand, they can become too less if they are not used when due.

Answer 278

Yes they can be over used, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be a problem, the problem is very few people say thank you or please at all!!!

Thanks for the question.

Answer 279

Within some people yes...within others it can't be used enough!



When I get nervous around a friends parents I say please and thank you way to much!

Answer 280

Of course not those two words are words of appriciation so they can never be overused, even though people say those words alot it is just showing repect towards others

Answer 281

No never, Being courteous is never too much. It shows that you were brought up right, we dont have much of that anymore these days.

Answer 282

Sometimes I think I say them too much.

Answer 283

In a perfect world no, but in the real world the habits we have good & bad get on others nerves, but dont worry about it Mean people suck:)

Answer 284

No! Probably if these words were used more in our interactions with others - our days may go a lot better!

Answer 285

Too much of these is better than too little or none at all!

Answer 286

Certainly they can be used too much. Most of us, however, are in no danger of that happening anytime soon.

Answer 287

Not according to the Bearenstain Bears!

Answer 288

These words are always appropriate. They are a sign of respect for the other person, something this society is ridding itself of.

Answer 289

Please can because if you say it too much you could be asking for a bunch of stuff or for people to do stuff for you.



But thank you however can't because it shows that you are thankful for what people do to you.

Answer 290

I didn't think so but, I met this lady and she used to say thank-you at least twice any time that we talked. It got really annoying.

Answer 291

There can always be too little politeness, but never too much.

Answer 292

As long as you are being polite, and not sarcastic. Do not use it more than once in the same sentence or it could end up sounding weird.

Answer 293

People who talk like this a lot are taken advantage of for their goodness. People don't respect you when you do it too often.

Answer 294

anything is possable when you try to do your best and yes many will use you and contuine to do it till you see them as for what they are in my opion you can be used to much by others and in time you will get tired of being done like that by people who only have feelings for there selves/ my opion yes you can be used to much. .my opion?

Answer 295

No, but should only be used when said from the heart and not just the mouth.

Answer 296

Well...depends on what a person takes as "too much"..............Maybe 4 sm1 it'll be fine......but maybe 4 sm people it'll b lots...........But stil, 2222 many of these words in a few sentences means Ur Overdoing it.........So b Carefull!!!!

Answer 297

Yes, actually it can especially when your at...say...the mall...shopping...and you have someone with you and you buy them things...like...Mrs. Fields' cookies and they say, "thank you" after every cookie they ingest. It gets quite sickening after a while. In fact it becomes downright disingenuous. One time it happened to me and made me almost throw up my Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut cookies!!

Answer 298

They can be if used sarcastically. Otherwise, they're probably among the few last remnants of polite society today.

Answer 299

these r very important n responsible word r ought to be used with care..coz too much n loss value n too little can damge every thing...

Answer 300

Sometimes. It can get annoying when someone keeps asking and asking (like almost begging on their knees asking) and when you finally get it can get annoying when they go "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"



Yet, when you ask for something politely than it is alright. That is when you show real etiquette.

Answer 301

It should not be used too much, because sometimes,it may become irritable

Answer 302

I think so. It's very annoying if someone is always thanking you for everything. It's good to be gracious, but my goodness, some people use it for everything.

Yeah, I'm a grumpy ole biddy!!!

Answer 303

Sometimes they can be used too much. But, I find that in our society nowadays, it isn't used enough.

Answer 304

Never...they don't get used enough!! People nowadays don't even focus on teaching their children please and thank you anymore. Just general manners or being polite would get people SO much futher. That reminds me of a song...they never get old, they always stay new, those three little words, please and thank you!!

Answer 305

Yes. But that being said, they're not used nearly as much anymore as they ought to be/used to be.

Answer 306

It depends on how much it's said in a conversation. However, I agree that they're not said enough. It cost nothing to say them.

Answer 307

Only if the Thanks is insincere. Please, used by a child, sometimes is a manipulation. I heard a kid yesterday pitching a fit, dad said say it nicely, she said Please can I get out of the cart right now! in a whiney voice & dad complied. DUH!

Other than that, it is not used enough, or correctly. Thank you for listening. (LOL)

Answer 308

Please is to get permission, and thank you shows gratitude for those who accept. It is a non-violent way of communication that can never be used too much.

Answer 309

No it cant be over used, is better when people use these words, it shows respect and manners as well.

Answer 310

Yes. When they are used insincerely,once could be too much: Sincerely, very seldom.

Answer 311

Definitely. It makes one wonder if the person is using some sort of passive-aggressive hostility. Killing you with kindness.

Answer 312

The best thing is to use "please" and "thank you" when necessary needed. When used too much it makes the other person feels uncomfortable.

Answer 313

Not at all... it shows how well u were brought up...but also, only becomes too much if used in insincere way.

Answer 314

Actually yes, I think they can be. I knew a girl once and she always kept saying please, thank you, sorry etc all the time and it just came across as so false. By all means say it, but don't be desperate sounding. be sincere.

Answer 315

Nothing is too much in showing respect ,acknowledging works,and courtesy.

Answer 316

If you use it to the point where you are self degrading and humiliating yourself...you're overusing it

other than that, you can never be too polite

Answer 317

Yea they can. I say them all the time, trying to be polite, but I've met people, when In a conversation it is"can u hand me the can please, thank-you" "can u get the phone, please, thank-you" "Oh! Thank-you""Could you do me a favor please?"..U get my point..after a while it starts to sound fake, and sometimes kind of sacastic. lol, Only say it when It is necessary or Polite.

Answer 318

Oh,yeah.They sure can be.I've done it myself.People don't like it when you say,"Please,thank you.Please" a lot.So,yeah,you can use them too much.I've broken myself of that habit,though.Who would have thought you could have a bad "polite" habit.

Answer 319

i think thank u could definitly be over used because after a while it will lose the meaning behind it of sincerely being thankful.

Answer 320

No, you cannot be courteous too much. Unfortunately, courtesy is too often missing from the world.

Answer 321

Not really, those words show respect. However, when someone says "I'm sorry" 20 times after making a minor mistake...THAT is REALLY annoying!

Answer 322

yes it can, because it'll seem like a person is just going over board with being polite. It's OK to be polite and have manners but it's not OK to go over board with it.

Answer 323

Yes if you are being repetitive. Generally though no I think more people should be polite . It would be a nicer place to live if we all did.

Answer 324

no sir! if people were raised right then those were the words you heard all the time, it shows you were raised with some type of manners even if you don't always act like ti.

Answer 325

Please and Thank you are the words that need to be used most in our daily lives. Without please and thank you our daily lives would become just another day. A thank you from someone can make your day! It makes you feel appreciated! No, I do not feel please and thank you could ever be used too much!

Answer 326

If they are used correctly, they cannot be overused. The problem with society, is that they are under used. Take care.

Answer 327

Posibly.If you say thank you more then 3 times or such for the same thing, it can get annoying.

Answer 328

"Please" and "Thank you" are two of the most under-used sentiments in the English language.



I think "I'm sorry" can be used too often, though. Some people apologize for everything and it gets old quickly.

Answer 329

Lord have mercy!!! Yes it can. I have a friend who drives me crazy with the thank you's. She'll thank me for dinner while having dinner, after dinner, when she's leaving, when she gets home and the next day!!! enuf....yes...one can overuse thank you.

Answer 330

No, it shows manners, etiquette.

You'll establish respect from the get-go, by use of these forgotten words.

Answer 331

NO, THEY SHOULD BE USED ALL THE TIME

Answer 332

No, they and "excuse me" are the cornerstones of a reasonable society. They are the grease in the wheels of people living in close society.

Answer 333

yes. it is truly annoying when people does that. it seems everything you do for them, they have to say thank you, every thing they did, they have to say sorry. so annoying. but you cannot really blame them for being so polite. but remind the, in a polote manner of course, to lessen the level of their gratitude and apologies.

Answer 334

It is possible, if it starts to detract from the heart felt meaning! Just like everything it can be overdone and remember, "everything in moderation."

Answer 335

Only if you use it at the end of every sentence will it be considered too much by me. At the end of every paragraph is okay (^.^)

Answer 336

Possibly, but better too much than not enough.

Answer 337

Yes! By saying it too much, it demolishes its meaning.



Also, sometimes people use it way too much when they are 'trying' to show respect, but you can tell that they don't really mean anything by it. Such as:



"Thanks! Oh no problem! Your welcome! Haha yeah, your so welcome! Thank you! All right now!"

Answer 338

I would say no...most of the time. There are certain cases where the two can be overused. Usually though, it's refreshing to hear them.

Answer 339

I don't think so...it is a very polite gesture...i use them all the time and people appreciate it..i know i do..it makes me want to help those who say that next to those that don't say anything

Answer 340

No, and I think people should teach their kids to always say it. I was raised in the South, and to me people up North don't use it enough. When I visit my family in Michigan, I hardly ever hear people say it. I still say please when I order from McDonald's!!

Answer 341

I wonder about that to, That is all that come out of my mouth

I'm a hairdresser so I deal with a lot of people.

I guess It's good.

Answer 342

never. It is a form of courtesy and respect for other people's time and help. After all, no one is obligated to do anything for you. They help you out because they want to.

Answer 343

No. I don't think it can. I think it is a great way of being polite and respectful. But that is a really good question!

Answer 344

Overuse sometimes leads in negative response called abuse, use it wisely, anything too much is good for nothing..

Answer 345

One please per act and the same for the thank you. I don't like when people gush over and over for some nicety I perform. I do not need hero worship. I do what I do because it needs doing.

Answer 346

No. It's not used enough...and in India, it's not part of the custom. 'Please' and 'thank you' are just assumed...imagine a world that assumed that you must be thankful and pleasing? We wouldn't have as much war!

Answer 347

what is wrong with it? it does not twist Ur tongue too much while using these words. and at the same time u are known for ur ettiquate

Answer 348

Actually, yes. Like anything else it can be overdone to the point where it becomes meaningless...and irritating to the other person.

Answer 349

No way. It reminds us to have a care for each other,slow down a bit, and treat people the way that we want to be treated. Peace.

Answer 350

I am PLEASED to say they can not be used too much and THANK YOU for asking! I'm PLEASED someone asked. PLEASE have a great weekend and THANK YOU again!

Answer 351

Yes. Used them to much and they may start to sound fake.

Answer 352

yes. both, used more than twice in a conversation is too much.

Answer 353

Too many selfish people thinking they are too good to say those simple yet important respectful words.

Answer 354

no i don't believe that they can the way things are now a days you should consider yourself lucky if you run into someone with enough manners and respect to use them at all

Answer 355

no that just shows that u r polite and politeness is not used by a lot of people anymore so there is never enough.

Answer 356

No. I think not enough people use them now a days. Its so sad. Its the respectable thing to do.

Answer 357

yes, just yesterday, i told my children this. they are very well mannered and every time...i mean every single time i give them food, a drink, a toy, anything at all, they tell me thank you. While i appreciate their appreciation, as their mom, i dont need them to thank me for every single bite of food or sip of drink.

Answer 358

Yes it can.I know some times kids do use it alot to get on there mom and dad neves.

Answer 359

no, never, people should use them more often. How many times do you actually hear them used in your daily life by people not in your friends or family group??

Answer 360

Never, it is just good common courtesy, please is just another nice way of asking permission politely, we don't here it enough,

and thank you can't be said enough,.

I wish we culd have a campaign started just by using please and thank you, and show the world and its people that we care.

Answer 361

Yes, when it's being used to "grease the wheels" it gets obvious and annoying... Overdoing it can make it seem insincere.

Answer 362

too much? I would be happy to hear them at all some days!

Answer 363

yes...any word can be used too much, they can be used out of context, they can be used uselessly as well

someone who takes you for granted may be 'polite' and say please a lot, but they have only manners and no ethics

thank you...well, you can overkill with thank you, too

a person should just say please and thank you once...you don't have to thank someone repeatedly...the same as when you say please too often it sounds like begging

Answer 364

Those words should be used but the modern society has not been taught them.

Answer 365

Thank you for asking and please, please don't ever hesitate to ask for my help when you need it. Again, I'd like to thank you for allowing me to gain two more points, I really do appreciate it, thank you very much. Would you please consider this answer when you are considering which is your best answer? I would be so thankful. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Answer 366

Nope, they can't but they can be used in the wrong way eg. the wrong tone like being sarcastic etc.

Answer 367

Yes, especially by my sarcastic, over dramatic, preteen daughter, after being reminded that she needs to be more polite! Picture it...it's not respect that she's showing!

Answer 368

Those two words can never be too much. they are words that opens doors, they make ways.

Answer 369

Yes..but for the most part you should use it as much as possible

Answer 370

Never. Our American society is lacking in manners. Children should be taught this more frequently at home.



Also, "hello" and "goodbye".

Answer 371

Please... is good, but some times it is used as a begging word. Thank you can never be used to much.

Answer 372

Not really, we actually need more people to be saying that. We're just getting bitten everytime we try to feed(help) a person.

Answer 373

When I came from my home country to North America, they told me that I was being impolite for not using those words all the time.



Now, you guys are saying that it can bother people!? Please decide yourself and let me know!

Answer 374

Yes, when you sue them unsinserly, only as a formality or becouse "It's proper", then you are over using them. Only use them when you mean them, otherwise it's being just as impolite as not using them.

Answer 375

my parents forced my sister and myself to argue with politeness

that is to say calling each other dear and using please and thank you.

as in please dear thats my sweater and i want it back thank you

thank you for the information dear, but you are mistaken this is my sweater dear and im not taking it off.. Dear you are a thief dear.

Dear, please excuse me but go to hell.



I think you get the idea. I Now have a real hard time using please and thank you with people i like.

Answer 376

My little one just knows that 'please' means he gets something, so basically he uses it as 'gimme' because he knows it works. Or at least it did, it doesn't have the same affect on me it used to, because my job is to set limits, no matter how polite he is about it! ;-)

Answer 377

Only in America.

Answer 378

I would rather hear them used "too much" than not enough.

Answer 379

I try to use both as much as is appropriate, but some people tend to go overboard.

Answer 380

No, I don't think so. Not that I hear these words much in daily life. I use them quite alot.

Answer 381

where have you seen these days anyone being polite or having manners whatsoever, try NYC for example they can rip your toes and push you over and what you get if anything is a stair as if you have to ask them to excuse themselves.

Answer 382

no, personaly i don't think they can be ued too much. unless of course they are used more than twice in the same subject.

Answer 383

Never! Politeness never goes out of style.

Answer 384

Never! i have been trying to explain that to my 14 year old daughter

(along with saying I'm sorry.)

Answer 385

Yes, sometimes when people say these words too often it makes them seem insecure.

Answer 386

No I think more people need to start using them.

Answer 387

I really do not think they can be used too much.

What concerns me is how many people never say either one.

Answer 388

yes i work in fast food and thay take on a diffrent meaning after so meny times like fu and get out

Answer 389

No,never.

Answer 390

These words should carry meaning with them. As long as the utterance is meaningful it is OK

Answer 391

Yes, if you are a beggar or someone always selling junk on a main thoroughfare.

Answer 392

you might think u cant, and in theory, it is most polite for one to use please and thank u frequently, but it gets annoying after a while. like i have a friend and when we go jogging in the mornings she says please and thank u for EVERY thing, at first i thought it was very sweet of her but after a while it got kinda annoying because of the repetitiveness of it.

Answer 393

No! Of course not! It's one of the best things you should say, and it shows people you have respect and manners.

Answer 394

nope

because if u use them too much u look like one of those respecting ideots so in my opinion u cannot use these words too much

Answer 395

Is your avatar a Red head with a hugh Afro?



Or is that your background...cant tell, my screen is hard to see sometimes...



Answer to your question: Yes...

Answer 396

Yes, especially please - a lot of people here in the wast are such freeloaders - please can you do this for me, please can you do so and so for me.



You have to look very stern in fornt of you just to have time to do in life what you are supposed to do. Often you have to unhook your phone and your doorbell because 5000 people have just decided to go and ask you for free legal advice again.



So, yes.

Answer 397

Yes. To the point of driving a person crazy or nuts and them having to say, "

Could you please stop with the kindness?" Why? It is a sign of low self-esteem and overcompensation.

Answer 398

Yes,especially in Japan.Some words are meant to be very truthful,so in turn,you only say them if you mean them...tom science

Answer 399

NEVER. They are some of the kindest most respectful words I love to hear!

Answer 400

No. I actually think it's not used enough. There's nothing wrong with being polite.

Answer 401

No, I don't believe so. I think they are actually somewhat underused in this day and age.



However, "sorry" is one that's overused... It's thrown around as easy as a frisbee...

Answer 402

Yes please!

Thank you.

Answer 403

Most of the time it is not used enough.

Answer 404

No... Because you show your appreciation to others by those 2 words

Answer 405

Are you kidding? What planet are you from? Please and thank you used too much? Oh Puleeeeze. I cant thank you enough for posting such a question. :)

Answer 406

If you say it over and over again repeatly non-stop then yes, but these days people hardly ever use them like they should.... it shows courtesy and respect

Answer 407

well,it all depends on how you use it.if your useing it in a way like"will you 'please'go get me a drink'thanks' over and over again you r very lazy!!!but other wise not really but it is a yes and no answer!!

Answer 408

yes, there are some people out there who are overly apologetic and seem obsessed with saying sorry to the point of it being annoying. Example:



Me: Oh hi, you seem to have dropped something there...

Them: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!

Me: Is there something wrong, are you OK?

Them: Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just tense...I'm sorry.

Me: Are you appologizing for being tense, not OK, or dropping something?

Them: I'm sorry for being confusing. I'm sorry for being tense, I'm sorry for not being OK, and I'm sorry for dropping something.

Me: You just used Sorry four times in one sentence. (nervous) Oh, I'm late for something, bye.

Them: Sorry for using sorry too many times, sorry for taking up your time.

Me:Gahhhh!

Answer 409

if you say something like "Please pass the pepper please," it's kind of wierd, but it shows that you're at least trying to be polite. If you overuse thank you in a sentence or just say it very frequently, it get pretty darn annoying. To answer your question, yes.

Answer 410

Certainly, too much please and thank you is a sign of low self-esteem. But don't let it fool you, it's a calculated technique to control others by humbling oneself.

Answer 411

Yeah, although parents want u to always say those 2 words sometimes it doesn't matter and then they don't use it any more.

Answer 412

No, but I hate How are you? or How was your day? I know that they don't really care cause if i said that I was terrible, they would just say ohhhh, i'm sorry and then walk away.

Answer 413

They are basic civil words. But you need a reason to use them! You cannot say please a thousand times to get someone to pass you the pepper! It will be like forcing!

Answer 414

Yes. Once for every thought should be enough. I think your intent should also be reflected on your actions.

Answer 415

No, but I do think you can use 'SORRY' too much, people do things 'cause they think all they have to do is say "I am Sorry" and it all goes away.



Sorry to say sorry, but 'SORRY' doesn't always fix the mess you've made.

Answer 416

I guess it kind of depends on the situation, but I'd have to go with no on that one.



Thanks for asking!

Answer 417

Never. As a matter of fact, they're not used often enough!

Answer 418

Definitely not! It is always better to say please every time you are asking for something and thank you when you receive it. It is never enough when you are being polite.

Answer 419

Sometimes. Like if ppl say it all the time when it's not needed, then it gets really annoying.

Answer 420

I think they are not used enough especially by this generation. I was always taught that if someone did something for you it was only polite. And when you ask someone to do anything for you ,that you should always say please and then when they do it you should say thanks.

Answer 421

No, if used at the proper time

Answer 422

in this time no it can't be used enough... but if your having a converstion with someone and you use it to much it can start being annoying... so you decide!

Answer 423

These words should be used oftenly to express gratitude and respect.

Answer 424

Yes because sometimes, you don't have to say thank you or please too many times because the other person can get it right away.

Answer 425

Never, ever. It is wonderful for people to show their manners, especially in this day and age.

Answer 426

It does not matter if you use too much. It's a matter of respect.

Answer 427

well I know that "please" is still used with people with respect, but the "thank you" has changed to "no problem" or "sure no thing" is being over used than just the original "thank you"!

Answer 428

i hardly think not.why? we live in a i don't care world about people pleasing themselves. a simple thank you shows your appreciation and makes one feel good. please used in the proper way is proper. manners are exactly that. if one has good manners it will get you further in life. unappreciated people that cant use manners i don't deal with a second time.i feel they are ungratefully. so no manners,no favor's here!! thanks

Answer 429

I sopose you could over-do it, but when it's appropriate, it feels good when someone says please and thank you. To make somebodies day, compliment them on their positive qualities. Tell them, we need more people like them in the world.

Answer 430

Nope, you can't use them too much for me, I have no problem with someone being nice.

Answer 431

indeed it can. May I please ask a question yahoo answers? Thank you for asking me! Thank you for letting me!



It can be used too much

Answer 432

I don't think so. Where I work (for the public) many of my clients hardly use those two words at all. It's mostly gimme, gimme,gimme.

Answer 433

I don't think people say those words enough. But I can see how excessive use of those could be bothersome.

Answer 434

never!!! u can say it to me 5 times in a 10 seconds. =]

Answer 435

Yes, though I dont think that should discourage people from using them.

Answer 436

I think that the kids today don't use it enough.....but i also think that we adults forget and slack on this issue to... i have taught my son that he must always say that and have respect for people in general......

Answer 437

totally far 2 much

Answer 438

I think that people should always say please and thank you, but if you say it too much in the same situation, you can start to sound too servile..

Answer 439

No, please and thank you show humility and gratitude and therefore cannot be said too often. However reading the answers I notice lots of people using "Yeah" and more annoyingly "Nope" as answers. Could you please use yes and no, thank you!

Answer 440

By a phony, yes. By a complete dog, it never comes into use.

Answer 441

No you can never use them words to much

Answer 442

no

you can never be too polite or show too much respect

Answer 443

Yes, along with "Excuse me" and "Sorry".

These are gesture showing words and should be used as often as possible.

Answer 444

With society being how it is these days your lucky to hear please and Thank You so it should be appreciated at the most. It couldn't be used too much for me.

Answer 445

Nope they can't... not only is it a way of showing respect, but it is also good manners, something that you don't see very often anymore.

Answer 446

not in my book, and neither can "I'm Sorry" be said too much when appropriate. Unfortunately, we rarely hear these words.

Answer 447

Yes.

Answer 448

Yes.

Answer 449

thank u 4 da pts

Answer 450

Yes!

Answer 451

I dated a woman who said "thank you" every time I kissed her. You do the math.

Answer 452

of course not,they arent used enough these days,there is never an excuse not to use them i use them even if im giving someone a piece of my mind!!

Answer 453

Never, people always think a lot more of you if you are polite. Peace brother.

Answer 454

Absolutely not. In fact, it is used far to little in this day and age.

Answer 455

Not if used in a meaningful courteous way

Answer 456

Thank you sure can. I find myself inappropriately thanking people all the time, sometimes just to end a conversation.



Please ..... I haven't seen that one abused yet!

Answer 457

YES!

Imagine someone following you around all day saying please,please,please,please or thank you,thank you,thank you,thank you again and again all day.

Answer 458

No. These are basic tools of respect and kindness. They are sadly not used enough.

Answer 459

of course they can be used with respect to person u r saying

Answer 460

yes, i think if you are constantly needing something from someone then it could get excessive. some things you should do for yourself and not have to ask for and thank others.

Answer 461

Absolutely not! This world needs more manners, and respect

Answer 462

Only when used together in on sentence.

Answer 463

It can be over- used if you are trying to please or flatter someone. But a please and thank you, can go a long way in making someones day. Simple polite guestures dont hurt anyone. So dont feel shy to be polite by saying 'please' and 'thank you' to just everday people you meet :)

Answer 464

NO, Please and Thank You are always good, and show you have manners. I'm Sorry, on the other hand can be abused and eventually fall on deaf ears.

Answer 465

My parents always taught me that they were 'magic words'. That *might* be overstating just a little, but not much.

Answer 466

Yes.



If I were to fill this page with nothing but that.... but that wasn't your point right?



Thank you for pointing that out.

Please do that again. I'm afraid it will be needed.

Answer 467

Not at all. Good manners never go out of style.

Answer 468

May I have 2 points? Thank you!.. ~ hugs ~



no.. never too much ~ winks ~

Answer 469

when used insincerely once is too much ,,,when used honestly never,,, sincerity is the key to manners

Answer 470

I guess....



My daughters tell everyone "I love you" when they get off the phone or leave their presence. It is annoying!



I actually told them to STOP telling me they love me. It is phony to me. Since they tell everyone!!



They don't get it from me.........is it a fad or what??? I wish they would stop using the word love so loosely!

Answer 471

for some peps mayb but others not! It just depends on how u were bought up and what u believe in ! It also depends on wot situation ur in!!!!!!!

Answer 472

I don't hink so, one should always be polite to others and minding your P's and Q's is the best way to do that

Answer 473

yes but there must be a sense in using them...

if someone is saying and i'm daying and you reply....thank you

than he will beat u

Answer 474

These words are used often but they have no meaning.

Answer 475

not really, just make sure you use them at a maximum of 10 times per sentence, i learned that the hard way ^_^

Answer 476

As long as those words aren't spoken every other line, it's fine as far as I'm concerned.

Answer 477

It a sign of respect

Answer 478

Absolutely not. These words are NOT used enough these days.

Answer 479

Please tell me no one has actually said you say it too much. Thank you for your question. Please remember that being polite is a great way to attract another smile, and thank you for reminding readers that we forget to say it too often. =)

Answer 480

it can never be used to much, the problem is that its not used enough.

Answer 481

definitly, if you use them too much, they become meanignless, like curse words, if you know someone who uses them in everyday speech, then when they really should use them, it doesnt mean anything

Answer 482

Todays youth barely use them at all so I say no, their usgage needs to increase

Answer 483

Absolutely, many people say 'please' and 'thank you' out of habit and when this starts to happen, the words tend to lack meaning. So there's no point. I'm not saying that people shouldn't say 'please' and 'thank you' at all, but don't say things you don't mean.

Answer 484

Wow ,i have never seen so much answers in one go.....Its nice to be polite , i'd say yes

Answer 485

i think it can if you say it like 10 times in one hour in the same place but i really cant

Answer 486

I would rather use it too much than not enough.

Answer 487

Not by the Japanese, who can use it many times in a single utterance.

Answer 488

Definitely.



It is still better to overuse than to use too little though.

Answer 489

Yes! You humans seem to have a need for pleading (please) and then you get emotional and thank the person for allowing you to plead! Most unusal traits.

Answer 490

Can someone actually be too polite? Not in my book.

Answer 491

No, I don't think so. 'Please' and 'Thank You' are words to be used to show respect and to be polite towards the other person. People today don't use them enough.

Answer 492

yeah like this.

please pass the peas please.

but seriously it can be used too much, like when you use it every other sentence

Answer 493

I think those words aren't used enough, so no I don't think they can be use to much.

Answer 494

either, when you need help or when you in trouble, you could say please......so you can't say it too much;but 'thank you'is different,it can show you are courtesy.

Answer 495

yes i think that it can be over used especially when used in a sarcastic way

Answer 496

like i believe so. but if you dont use that question then it would be entirely rude. btw, did you click on the button 'send me my comments and responses' aggain so you will not get the emails. if not, your email is soooo flooded

Answer 497

in my opinion, yes. i do that. now, not so often. but in the past i was upsetting my ex boyfriend and his sister and her boyfriend with that please and thank you. now, my husband has teach me that is not necessary to say thees word at the end of every question.

Answer 498

Yeah, it gets annoying. Show respect through your actions, not your words.

Answer 499

wELL, I CAN SUMORIZE my answer in 1 word IMPOSSIBLE. Bec simply my dear friend the manners now like a rare diamond.

Answer 500

yes, if overused, it can be assumed ur being sarcastic, and annoying sometimes, but using a same amount of please and thank yous will make people recognized ur a polite person

Answer 501

No Way - not as long as it is heartfelt and there is no sarcasm. My children are being raised w/these two phrases as musts!!!

Answer 502

I don't think so. Can you hurt somebody's feelings by being too polite.

Answer 503

I don't think so as long as there sincere when being used.

So cool that so many people have answered this question.

Answer 504

Only when it's used insincerely...aka someone's just saying it because it's expected of them vs. a true 'please' or 'thank you'....Am I making sense or is the heat finally getting to me?

Answer 505

Never.



Necessary in our culture today.



Just as the word "I'm sorry" should be used more frequently also.

Answer 506

No these are good forms appreciation and everyone wants to be respected

Answer 507

When the words are sincere they are not overused. But pleeeeease, they can definitely be overused. Thank you

Answer 508

yes, if the person is saying i more than once in each sentence.

like"

please, may i have another scoop of ice cream, please"

or

"thank you for that, thank you."



i hear it alot with people who don't know english very well. they will say "please" and "thank you" more than necessary.

Answer 509

Please and thank you seem to be used pretty sincerely most times so they are appreciated. However, "sorry" is used too loosely and with no sincerity (or very little). It has truly lost it's meaning through it's over-use. I do hope please and thank you never become insincere.

Answer 510

What difference does it make? move on to more pressing issues.

Such preoccupation shows how superficial we remain unfortunately

Answer 511

It is really refreshing to hear please and thank you used by younger adults and children and everyone for that matter, but I think it could be over used to the point of being sickening especially if doubled up... like please, please or thank you, thank you. That's over doing it!

Answer 512

I don't think so. I find too many people use "fuggedaboudit" waaaaay too much.

Answer 513

It depends on the people you say it to. I'm noticing more and more people now-a-days so bitter and uptight that they don't have manors any more.

Answer 514

Like anything else being overly polite is annoying, and other people will know that you are not being sincere.

Answer 515

Yep. Too polite and too annoying.

Answer 516

in a rare occasion yes but most the time no

Answer 517

In this society, I don't think those words can be used enough.

Answer 518

No way. They show respect and that you are a polite person.

Answer 519

yes. personally i find them superfluous (pointless) and at times annoying. if you want someone to pass the peas just say so for god's sake!

Answer 520

Never

Answer 521

Over use of these words are irritating. Use definitely when necessary or due.

Answer 522

We need to use them often to keep them alive. Courtesy is just not common these days!

Answer 523

no not really in my opinion please and thank you are not used enough but they can be used too often in 1 conversation

Answer 524

Manners are always exceptable but you say it once bofore and after the reason you are saying it .

Answer 525

No,it is a show of respect.All people deserve to be talked to that way.

Answer 526

Never

Answer 527

Courtesy and respect are great virtues. These words indicate both courtesy and respect and have a pleasant impact on listeners. Please use them frequently. Thank you.

Answer 528

NEVER



These words are not even used by most of the people...



Lets use these words...

Answer 529

Never

Answer 530

Using them shows you have manners!

Answer 531

yes actually these words r meant 2 show respect love and care. so we shoul understand its importance.

Answer 532

Of course not., there manners which it seems like most people forget to say.

Answer 533

Oh Comme on Pleaseeee!,. . . I have been asked this question I can't tell you how many times....



Thank You.

Meeeoooowwww!

Answer 534

now a days they`re not used enough

Answer 535

I'm a Southern lady who grew up with Thank You & Please and I always say it to others. It's a part of my everyday life.

Answer 536

like anything....it can be used too much.

its like if you laughed at every joke...

it would be used WAY to much

and people would get annoyed with you.

Answer 537

Only if delivered in a sarcastic tone.

Answer 538

Never

Answer 539

no, they are based on respect plus they get u out of trouble some times. =P

Answer 540

it can NEVER be used too much!

Answer 541

Yes, i hate people that are always asking for something just cause a person says Please doesn't mean they are going to get it, and just cause you say Thank You doesn't mean you are going to make someones day. My three year old is constantly saying Please and when i tell him no he'll say but I said Please. And I'll tell him jus cause you said please doesn't mean your going to get everything you want.

Answer 542

Yes, please and thank you can be used to the point where it becomes ingratiating. I worked with a guy who said please and thank you so much, that he sounded like he was imposing on me if he was asking to borrow a pen. It became annoying. Thank you for your question, really, it was a great question, thank you, thanks. I mean it, thanks.

Answer 543

I think that we need to use them much more

Answer 544

Yes, if they are used in the context.

Answer 545

MAY BE IN OUR LIFE SOME WORDS ARE TO BE USED VERY USELY IN THAT THESE TWO WORDS ALSO BE THERE

Answer 546

I'd say yes if you used them like every second.

Answer 547

Yes, and even then there are appropriate times of respect where they do apply.and other times they are not needed.

Answer 548

Yes, I agree with those who say if you use it more than twice in a conversation, then it is superfluous.

Answer 549

Only if it is not sincere...manners say more about a person than what they choose to wear.

Answer 550

Absolutely not! I wish more people would take the time to do so.

Answer 551

Nope!

Answer 552

Nope.

Answer 553

Yes, when taken to the extreme.

Answer 554

I have been told that I am too polite and that I overly use them.

Answer 555

Yes; I say "thank you" wayy too much

Answer 556

I wish more people would say that. Thank u for this question.

Answer 557

YES AND NO. IT DEPENDS ON WHO SAYS IT. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE SO FREAKIN NICE THAT YO JUST WANT THEM TO FORGET THEIR MANNERS SOMETIMES B/C IT'S SICKENING. AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE RUDE ALL THE TIME AND IT WOULD BE REFRESHING TO HEAR THEM USE IT MORE OFTEN.

Answer 558

Ever see the TV show "Leave it to Beaver" in reruns? Eddie Haskell was like that.....

Answer 559

YES! its called verbal abuse (clever huh?) where the only thing u SAY are those words...which would be tooooo much and become pretty annoying ^^

Answer 560

NO. I wish more parents were teaching their children these words and other manners.

Answer 561

They cant be overused but repetitions can make them redundant in gramatical sense.

Answer 562

Thank you for asking the question. Seriously, it is always appreciated when you use manners. However, if you go overboard then it begins to feel fake or that you kissing butt.

Answer 563

I think that it can because it's only so many times u should say it

Answer 564

Plain and simple. Never. I have a lot respect for people for use it.



Thank you. :)

Answer 565

Nevah!

Answer 566

frankly they are just words as any other as long as u dont get affected by them u really dont worry if it sorry with a thankyou

Answer 567

Yeah, "Thank You" i really a frequently used word.

But I don't use "Please" that often.



However, These are the words to show respect to some one, so it's good to use them.

Answer 568

As long as you mean it sincerely...Having good manners will never go out of style!

Answer 569

excess of any thing is bad

so never use it too much

Answer 570

no but yes after a second thought

Answer 571

No, they can not and they are used far too infrequently these days.

Answer 572

Saying please and thank you is proper etiquette and shows courtesy to the people your dealing with. It should be said whenever requests are made.

Answer 573

no it cant when u use it alot it shows respect and it shows that you have manners so use as much as you want or as lil as you want either way

Answer 574

No!!!! This day and age they can't be used enough.

Thank you

Answer 575

Sometimes, thankyou after sex isn't the best response, lol, unless you wanna get smacked!

Answer 576

No, I don't think so. I dont think they get used enough. I hear people around me say, can you get me ...? I want this..! Please and thank you make those demands seem better!!

Answer 577

YES.Because these words show respect and i used to respect others :D

Answer 578

No.

As a matter of fact they are not used enough today.

Answer 579

yes, there are some people out there who are overly apologetic and seem obsessed with saying sorry to the point of it being annoying. Example:



Me: Oh hi, you seem to have dropped something there...

Them: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!

Me: Is there something wrong, are you OK?

Them: Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just tense...I'm sorry.

Me: Are you appologizing for being tense, not OK, or dropping something?

Them: I'm sorry for being confusing. I'm sorry for being tense, I'm sorry for not being OK, and I'm sorry for dropping something.

Me: You just used Sorry four times in one sentence. (nervous) Oh, I'm late for something, bye.

Them: Sorry for using sorry too many times, sorry for taking up your time.

Me:Gahhhh!

Answer 580

No, I feel they are not used often enough. It shows some respect. :)

Answer 581

Use them whenever necessary. Be generous with courtesy.

Answer 582

Never - it's only polite and even though you may think that it is unneccesary - people do notice!

Answer 583

NO,those words show respect and it is polite to use them.

Answer 584

Never! It shows kindness and politeness and grace...and all things great!

Answer 585

Oh yes! when ever you can! but sometimes its just best to not say anything at all.



manners

Answer 586

Well, they can, but they have been abandoned for so long that we got a lot of catchin' up to do. God Bless you.

Answer 587

yes it can be used too often in one day

when using it too often it shows that you are trying to pro-tray something that you are not in life

Answer 588

no....it's a show of respect and good manners. Even the worst but civilized of enemies show respect to one another by using please and thank you.

Answer 589

Not in this world today. I don't think it's possible to over use them.

Answer 590

No. I agree with the first answer on your page.

Answer 591

nah bro it helps in wielding your power and charm over the unsuspecting

Answer 592

u have too much answer

Answer 593

Manners are such a welcome in this fast paced society. It is nice to hear those words. The words please thank you and you are welcome can never be overused. These are words parents should continue teaching their children for many decades to come.

Answer 594

probably it would be a perfect world if each one of us uses these magic words, but recently nobody seems to remember them, that's a SHAME!!!!!!!

Answer 595

Never, you can't heat those words enough. They mean so much.

Answer 596

humnnnnnn not at all,ppl use thnks n say no more please,they go 4 it direct.

Answer 597

absolutely! It is not appropriate or necessary to thank some one multiple times for something, especially something small. It is also not polite to say 'please, please, please' it sounds like begging. Genuine politeness doesn't under do it but doesn't over do it either. I find that those who over thank usually lack confidence and those over over 'please' lack tact or respect for the person they are asking of.

Answer 598

of course not that means u show respect to everyone if u use those words

Answer 599

Yeah

Answer 600

yeah, people who are TOO polite are annoying, almost like they're sucking up or something, it feels weird

Answer 601

to be honest these days there not used enough



- my thoughts no but if sused repedatly YES

Answer 602

Never is too much to thank people .. and never is too much to say please when is needed ...

Answer 603

no...if it's been used too much..it becomes annoying

Answer 604

Nudge is a good as a wink to a blind man, eh? ty. tyvm.

Answer 605

Yes, of course. In addition, we must use "Execuse me" a lot. They show our respect.

Answer 606

No, ppl are happy when you're polite by saying those words. they show respect.

Answer 607

If you use those words too many times, they lose their value...

Answer 608

only when they are used excessively to the same person in the same conversation!

Answer 609

never ever will it be too much

Answer 610

no they can not! they are very good words to use! and keep using them! that shows respect!! and you can't find respect in this world anymore!!

Answer 611

Sometimes..And when it is too much it is looking like begging.....

Answer 612

Absolutely. Especially when the person doesn't feel sincere when they say them.

Answer 613

Not really.

It's just good manners.



Unles you are trying to annoy someone, of course.

Answer 614

THESE TWO TERMS, ARE THE MARKS of A CIVILIZED PERSON, use them befittingly, as THE SITUATION DEMANDS !

Best of LUCK !

Answer 615

NOW PLEASE CAN BE USED A BIT MUCH IF YOU ARE BEGGING FOR SOMETHING,LIKE KIDS DO! BUT THANK YOU IS VERY COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL SO I WOULDNT THINK THAT IT CAN BE USED TO MUCH!

Answer 616

No. I don't think so, like when you get something you say "Thank you" and when you want something, you say "Please" it's just good sense. you can never really over use these words.

Answer 617

No, now days they are not used enough.

Answer 618

i don't see the problem of using 'please' & 'thank you' too much. in fact, it should be used often in terms of respect & manners. i sometimes say it like this... i ask what i want and then i say, "please and thank you". =)

Answer 619

Not when it comes to being polite.

Answer 620

yes and it makes you sound weak if you do use them too much.

Answer 621

no, never too much. it's a shame they are used so little. same with yes sir/no sir, yes mam/no mam.

Answer 622

I can't stand it when "please" and "thankyou" are used in a condescending manner, like, "Would you please form just one line and don't approach the counter until you are called? Thank you. "



It's not a question, it's a command.

Answer 623

Only if they are being used sarcastically.

Answer 624

NEVER! Oh if we could only get back some common courtesy.

Answer 625

no never to much. neither can yes mam and yer sir be used to much.

Answer 626

BS"D



has to be somewhat sincere, all you look like a shnook.

Answer 627

i think u have a got a lot of answers so i shall not write any answer of mine to u

Answer 628

I don't think so it shows respect. And that you are a considerate person.

Answer 629

Progeny requesting money.

Answer 630

Please and thank you are signs of respect. Remember, you only get as much respect as you give to another.

Answer 631

Yes, if you use them compulsively they loose their meaning a little

Answer 632

Heck no!!!! Manners should be the standard, not the exception.

Answer 633

yap, these words can n are used a lot in todays life!

Nope. And no reason not to use the words

Answer 635

Heck NO! If anything, they aren't used enough, these days!!

Yes. It can sound phoney and insincere. Or sycophantic.

Answer 639

too much ice-cream in the same day would make anyone sick

Answer 640

Not according to parents.

Answer 641

nop but i think the real q is is it used too little

Answer 642

not unless ur my friend who says "pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease", "meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow", or " jennyjennyjennyjennyjenny", or " next stop, main street, science world" over and over and over again

then it gets annoying

Answer 643

if used in a begging formatt yes!

Answer 644

yes it can be overly formal or even sarcastic or in a kid get to be begging and i hate that

Answer 645

No, they help show the persons manners.

Answer 646

No, those words are often used and they're polite.

Answer 647

I dont think they can. Because "please" is a form that says I was raised right and was taught to say this and "thanks" is a form that says you really appreciate what someone just did for you.

Answer 648

probably not unless there is a attitude problem with the person saying it

Answer 649

no, it needs to be used more. unfortunately, many adults never taught or teach their children this courtesy.

Answer 650

I don't think they are used enough these days.

Answer 651

Great question. No. Done right. " Sorry" is the word that is over done.

Answer 661

yes

Answer 662

as for thank you, gratitude is always accepted by every1

Answer 665

I say its not used enough actually.

Answer 666

never enuff, but can be redundant if used in a wrong situation?

Answer 667

defnitely, sometimes it shows a person is just lil too uptite

Not if they are being used with sincerity.

Answer 674

YES!!!

There is such a thing as being annoyingly polite.

Answer 675

how many times are you saying it? not in general no, but to one person in one day the same hour....thats different

Answer 676

yes

Answer 677

Anything can be overdone, but it just sounds so

polite which we hear less and less of.

Answer 678

yes

Answer 679

literally yes, but the thought is, everytime u receive something u should always give back a "thank you", while saying please is just ur being polite...

Answer 680

no, and neither can ma'am or sir.



Thank you for being a well mannered person! Your elders appreciate you

Answer 681

I believe that you can sense if a person means it when they say "Please and or Thank you"

I think people should ALWAYS say Please and Thank you, but mean it when they say it...if you truly mean it, once is certainly enough

Answer 682

Use it according to situation

Answer 683

Never... It's not used enugh... The same as I sorry, and I forgive you...

Never, if everybody uses please and thank you we would have a way much politer world.

Answer 691

Why are soo many ppl answering this?





O.O WOW

Answer 692

No, not as long as the person honestly means it.

Answer 693

I don't believe so, its common courtesy and it goes a long way.

Answer 694

You should worry if they are used "too little"...

Answer 695

no it is completely respect full and should be used a lot.

Answer 696

IF you're sucking up to someone, yes. But, generally, no.

Answer 697

Yes they can be and it gets very annoying

Answer 698

hell yeah. same goes for "sorry." after a while, it starts to lose its meaning, and you have to wonder about the sincerity.

Answer 699

its just a show of kind ness or respect and no i barely hear it these days

Answer 700

if you beg for something and then if you say THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER after each lashing then yes it can be

Answer 701

Only in the bedroom !

Answer 702

definitely depends on how often u use it, But it is a common courtesy

Answer 703

I don't think so, please and thank you are two word that never occupy space, they are always important and show education and sound good

Answer 704

nope thats how u show ppl u have decency and manners

Answer 705

Please and thank you are common courtesies & good manners.



I don't think they could ever be used too much.

Answer 706

yes when you are at a friends house

Answer 707

NO. Should Only when required / one means it.

yeah. it shows respect to other people and it gives other people a good impression of yourself.

Answer 711

I don't think that it is used enough

Answer 712

it is being used frquently as a breath

Answer 713

Not if the person is actually sincere who is saying "Please" and "Thank you."



I often wish people would say "You're welcome" in response to "Thanks." Instead, they say "Thank you" back to the Thanker. This is just laziness/thoughtlessness and/or stupidity.



Have a nice day.

Answer 714

Please allow me to answer this one for you?



The words "Please and Thank You" are probably some of the most powerful words there are. You can't possibly over use them.



Thank you for your attention.

Answer 715

you can never say "please" or "thank you" enough it's not only polite, but also shows to other people that your parents bring you up very well, it shows that you have good manors.

Answer 716

I guess it could get annoying if your doing it all the time.

Answer 717

anything in moderation is ok but over doing something is bad--SORRY is far the worst

Answer 718

no as a matter of fact i feel that people do not say it enough

Answer 719

Can never be too much!!!!

Answer 720

agreed. i think it's used excessively when the user don't quite say it sincerly enough.

Answer 721

Yes. thank you for asking.

and thank you for the 2 points

and please write me back, please



ANNOYING HUH?

Answer 722

Not at all. It is good to be very respectful.

Answer 723

yes and no. Its good to gracious bad to be repetitive

Answer 724

Most definitly.

Answer 725

Never too much...i get mad if people dont say it!!!

Answer 726

not really because they are polite but it is annyoing when ppl say 'sorry' like 20n times.

Answer 727

whoever used it whenever - quite a few meant it sometimes

Answer 728

NEVER! Should be used more, in fact.

Answer 729

Nope...i always love to hear em

Answer 730

Sure can , there is nothing worse than hearing someone say yes please, constantly when they try so hard to be polite.

Answer 731

absolutely not. we should respect that people offering their help is a privilege and not a right.

Answer 732

well yes and no if you say them more than twice ina sentance that would sound weird like would you please get my pen please, see. But at the same time saying it every other sentance shows respect

Answer 733

people dont have any manners these days so no, its noy used enough

Answer 734

No, More of todays kids could use them more.

Answer 735

Yes, definitely. It is so annoyong to have to thank someone for every little thing.

Answer 736

no sir, because please and thank you are words of manners. it shows just how appreciative you are of whoever helped you and it shows respect. why else would they have made those words?

Answer 737

No, It's nice to know that there is people out there that still say Please, and Thank You.

Answer 738

Yes and No.

Answer 739

No. It's respectful to use those words.

Answer 740

No, because politeness never hurts.

Answer 741

i don't think so because please and thank you is just having good manners and showing respect to the people u are saying it to.

Answer 742

When "please" and "thank you" and "have a nice day" become part of your job description, they really become overused, and are often said as a reflex, rather than a sincere feeling.

Answer 743

when begging yes but when it is used to be polite no.

Answer 744

never. my grandma always told me be polite. even when someone else isn't, you always be polite. what goes around will come around again.

Answer 745

No, they are not used enough

Answer 746

No. Politeness is always good.

Answer 747

oh yeah, to the point of annoyance. God bless u.

Answer 748

NOPE!! It is common curtesy to use those words and they should be constant.

Answer 749

Yes. it's nice

Answer 750

rarely! but every once in awhile, someone uses it so self-effacingly, it rings false!

Answer 751

I think so. Constant use of please and thankyou can seem a bit obsequious, it's just too much.

Answer 752

No. I don't think they are used enough.

Answer 753

no i don't think so. these days ppl forget about respect and don't say these two words enough.

Answer 754

Not nearly enough

Answer 755

thse word mean alot to people

Answer 756

No. Unless the other person(s) tell(s) you to stop.

Answer 757

well it depends on how you use them, then again how else could/would you use them. thank you should just be for gratitude. please should be asking for something with respect. I think no.

Answer 758

It's manners and people recognize that.

Answer 759

i dont think so, i like to see that people are still grateful for things

Answer 760

no, these days should be used more often

Answer 761

nope...damn dude u got hella answers for this question

Answer 762

Answer 763

if these appears thru the core of one's heart,need't repeat again and again.

Answer 764

I very rarely hear them anymore these days. I hear "uh huh" for your welcome, etc. I always say please and thank you most of the time, but I get annoyed sometimes by it... personally.

Answer 765

hi, basically no, peace and love from Norway

Answer 766

no, just using it in the suitable situation.

Answer 767

PLEASE! Thank you for asking. Yes, please, they can, although they are terms of respect, and you can use them a lot if you please. Thanks again for bringing up this concern! Please have a good day! :) Thanks!



(EDIT) Please and Thank You are respectful terms and are very polite to always use. However, overuse comes off fake, so I believe the answer to your question is relative.

Answer 768

Answer 774

Of course they can not be used to much.

Thank you.

Answer 775

yes, if used too often, it seems diluted, and condescending, that's my opinion.

Answer 776

No I don't think so.

Thank you for the points

Answer 777

i hate it when people say "are u sure" over and over again when you could never turn round and say " well,actually no"

Answer 778

Yeah......They can be used but it does matter that you are using it in front of whom!!!

Answer 779

Puh - lease, thank you for wasting my time. It's obvious that you can't please everyone, so I'll thank you to keep your observations of society to yourself. I'll thank you to please spare us the vague question of the appropriateness of the frequency of niceties in our culture.

Answer 780

Answer 783

Never, I think people should use them more.

Answer 784

Politeness and good manners are the lubrication of social intercourse. In the case of "please", "thank you", and "you're welcome", too much of a good thing is divine.
