Don’t Get Caught in a “Thank You” Feedback Loop

It’s nice to be nice. Except when it’s not. If someone is able to answer a question for you, does you a big favor or sends some juicy gossip your way by all means send them a quick thank you. But that’s where it should end. Don’t keep volleying “thank you”s and “no, thank you”s back and forth in an endless game of mutual appreciation. It’s nice to say “thank you.” But saying it once is enough.
