Me: "Thank you for the thoughtful gift". Them: "IT WAS THE LEAST I COULD DO" Da fug? If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | ||

Well, technically, they may have been speaking the truth. "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

It's such a common comeback to a thank you that I never gave it a second thought until the "I appreciate you"thread.  If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

The least they could do? Maybe they were thinking about other ways they could help you (CPR, blood donation, loan you their car, spot you an extra five grand) instead of a small gift. At least they aren't the type to use a dollar sign and then have the word 'dollars' or 'bucks' after it. Arby's has a $5 buck lunch? Yes, and at the corporate level in their official tag line, they are fucking stupid. When I tell someone thank you, I was not ashing if it was a problem or a sure thing... Grrr! | |||

Language changes all the time. Think you're seeing colloquialisms being introduced into written English rather than errors in grammar per se. It may seem wrong or odd initially, but in a generation or two will probably be considered correct by the majority and today's "proper" grammar will eventually seem as archaic as medieval English does to us today. | |||

The cake is a lie! |
It's the context. Getting you nothing is not acceptable to them, so the least they can allow themselves to do is to still get you a gift even when you said no need to get you anything. | |||

It's an acknowledgement . The verbiage is irrelevant . | |||
