Says thanks to bus driver

[hesnearly3]

Why do ppl do this? Why thank for a journey that u have paid for? And the driver hopefully drove safely but that's their jobs. So why say thanks? I don't get it

Always have done, always will. I always say please and thanks for everything always. Even when my husband of 16 years asks me if I want a cup of tea. Just saying YES on its own seems rude. It's nice to big up someone's day with a pleasantry.

You always say 'Cheers Drive' as you leave the bus. It's The Rule.

Only if you live in Bristol. Then it is absolutely the law.

I’m from Newport so it must be a south west/ South Wales thing

Yabu.
