Hissy fit. It's amazing how much people can't understand when they read texts. I was actually not throwing a fit. I was uncomfortable again by being told thank you again and asked him to stop again.

It's not condescending. It's considered appropriate behaviour in my country. People do much worse than me, and it's considered a show of affection. I've learnt today that it's different for some other cultures where saying thank you is a show of affection.

But no, I didn't show up here to be a victim. OP and I were done with our conversation on WhatsApp. Next day, he messages me this link and blocks me on everything else. I haven't ever even used Reddit till today and, like him, only created an a/c for the purposes of this thread. I have explained myself to every troll and genuine commentator on this thread. Hope I did the same for you and you'll see in the post that I didn't get angry till he called me cringy and annoying, before having called me several names before that. Please feel free to read other comments I've posted explaining Indian culture and why all of you commenting here are wrong simply because OP gave you only half of what happened - what suited his little dramatised act. Also, you don't even know his name, but I've known him for 4 years. He tends to pull this stunt with a lot of people. First time we had a disagreement in FOUR YEARS and his reaction was to cut out the part where we talked about my grandmother who raised me who passed just two months ago of cancer, how I'd explained to him that being told thank you made me feel like he was being formal and he didn't have to, and he even left out some direct insults.

So much for my kind, eh?
