The phrases “of course” and “blatant disrespect” imply a shared frame of reference that doesn’t seem to be in evidence. While it might be considered rude to you, it’s pretty much human nature. The phrase “thank you” is, as near as I can tell, pretty much entirely meant as a positive reinforcer.
So, having established that we have different frames of reference, can you go in to WHAT behaviors bother you? Is it the use of specific actions as reinforcers (“thank you” is okay but kissing is not?) or is it just the deliberate (as opposed to socialized and subconscious) application of these techniques? Or something else that I’m missing?
