Excuse me, I'm Canadian so I start every sentence with "Excuse me" and end them all with "thank you", thank you.

6 times. 2 to bus drivers upon exiting, 2 to shopkeeper/clerk whom I asked a question, 2 to shopkeeper/clerk from whom I bought something/was assisted in buying something.

But then, I was only out for about 4 hours today.

And, apparently, I'm the 3rd Canadian in a row to respond to this.

Wouldn't it be nice if it just came naturally to some people?

I haven't counted.

The number....is unknown.
I do say Thanks you or Ta a lot though.
I love this British custom to say thank you quite often.

I thanked Victoria at work for proofing our latest book by changing metric to imperial and UK spelling to American. Always fun . . . .
. . . but mostly it went the other way. I received a bit too.

Same here, even though I'm in Illinois now. I do get some strange looks.

I wonder how we manage to talk in the office? When I talk to my friend I never tell her: See you Thursday luv. (She told me once: Jack, our plumber, you know him, the one I recommended to you...he is odd, I called him the other day and he said See you next Monday luv. Since when a plumber calls his client who pays him, luv? He was not like that 5 years ago. The lady I am talking about she is a 56 years old very educated and smart lecturer, middle class representative).
When I pay somebody I expect Sir/Mr. whatever is appropriate but not darling, luv, sweetheart.
College canteen. There is a very nice lady who is very kind and nice, always serve me in canteen. Always give me bigger portion. For some reason all of them like me. I give Christmas card to the team because they are nicer to me than I deserve . She/others know my name and say Hi Astra. However, when she/others serve me a meal she/others call me darling....or love....I hate it.
It is worse with total strangers and it is outrageous. It is familiarity that is unacceptable by me from strangers.
