One of my friends called me after a long time. He had messed up his love life. Though I was honored to be an “aunt agony” back in my school days, I am not very patient with people who refuse to use their brains to clean up their mess anymore. Anyways, I felt responsible for my past reputation and honestly tried to sound very sympathetic.
Well, let me give you the background picture. I had not heard from this guy for months now. I have always supported him through all his mish-mash of his life. He always came to came to me to cry about something or the other.
So coming back to the story, I tried to do justice to my public image and lent my shoulder to cry on as usual. We did have several sessions and one day when he felt better and things were returning to normal in his life he calls me to say, “Vaish, I can’t thank you enough.”
Sigh!!! Another “I can’t thank you enough…”line in my life.
Seriously, why cant people thank you enough? Why do people think that just by saying “I can’t thank you enough that they have thanked you enough? Doesn’t “Thank You” weigh much more than “I can’t thank you enough”? If people feel indebted, they have to thank or atleast thank enough. There is no word “can’t” in the dictionary , if you try hard I am sure you can thank enough. Its just sad how people give up just like that. Hah! “Can’t thank you enough!!!” Maybe some day it would be illegal to use the phrase, “I can’t thank you enough!”
So typical of the agony-aunt I know
Forget “thanking enough”, atleast he/she thanked
That is the whole point. He did not thank me. Technically what he told me was “Can’t thank enough”. Life has not changed much eh?
