WHY should I say Thank You?• Forgetting or neglecting to say thank you is rude. Not only does it
upset and annoy people, it makes you look bad. However important or busy you are, it's always right to thank people, however small the thing they have done for you.
• Thank you shows our appreciation and conveys our gratitude. But more than that, it is a sign of respect to the person who has helped you (or given you something). It is an indication you do not take them for granted, and an acknowledgement that they matter. And that is why saying thank you matters.http://www.thankyoudiva.com/saying-thank-you.html
