I learned something new tonight.

I'll probably forget it tomorrow though, but apparently “thank you” doesn’t mean “that was a good meal.” It means “I’m grateful you took time out to make me food.” So even if the food was sh***y, you should say thank you.

Ha! I struggle with BS like that too. It seems illogical to thank someone for doing a shoddy job but that's what society expects you to do.. sigh.

Thank you for posting your opinion.

Good to know. See, you learn something every day.

I take it you learned this the hard way.

For future reference "I'm sorry" doesn't necessarily mean "I'm sorry for that thing I said or did that has caused you to become upset." Frequently NT's use it to mean "Get off my case and give me what I want."

If its free.. always say thanks

Not always the case for me... Rarely, actually, as I basically never eat anything I know I won't like (and consequently have a very limited diet.)

But I know 'tis the case for some people. I'm also guessing you learned the hard way.

That's a good thing to know.....that's why I cook all my own food.

Ahh social things we eventually learn....

Yup. Now, if you paid for a sh*tty meal, that's a bit different.

You should ALWAYS say thank you if someone tries to do something for you, even if it ends badly. Otherwise they won't bother in the future.
