How should you respond if you thank someone for their help and they tell you "that's my job"?

Just respond with a thank you. They are trying to not let the compliment go to their head.

Smile and walk away. They're not TRYING to insult you. It gets boring saying "you're welcome" all day long so we like to spice things up every once in a while.

I think you're taking it way too personally.

i think u r taking it a bit too personally. i don't see y u shouldn't say what u want to say tho i suggest taking out the cursing. when someone says that to me, i usually just smile and say 'and u did a good job. thanks again. i really appreciate it.'

Well, they are telling you that because it is their job. They don't want to accept compliments under false pretences -- as if they were going out of their way to do something they didn't have to do for you. It's called personal integrity. Instead of swearing at them as you want to do, just say something like, 'I know it is part of your dutys, but I just want to tell you I appreciated how well you did this for me?' They will feel that you have paid them an honest and fair compliment that they can accept. They will respect you much more for that than if you swear at them.

say exactly that without the cursing, its ok to be straight up

Obviously, this person has never heard or knows the meaning of team work, they are not a team player. Personally, I do not think this person will last very long, in any position. What a horrible attitude. I would just say, Thank you for your assistance. And let it go. Some people are simple minded and common sense is void. If you respond it may very well cause an argument or worse, it really is not worth the issue that may arise. You just have to come to the realization this individual is lazy and pathetic.that is their issue, do not make it yours by taking it personal. They can not be very happy with life with this attitude. There are times in life when you must be the bigger person and kill them with kindness. Good luck and God Bless

I cant believe you stated " just because someone has a job doesn't mean that they do their f*cking job" as an excuse to get pissed off at someone who DID do their job! Seems to me that you're a intolerant person who doesn't understand humility or poise. The fact that another person actually doing their job is so annoying to you tells me you're probably a lazy procrastinator too!!

WELL THANKS ANY WAY......
