Ho Do You Handle Praise?

[TWR]

You have done a friend or whoever a really good deed, they start to give you praise to other people in your presence, how do you handle it?

[TWR]

How even.

[waterboatman]

With decorum.

[Old_Geezer]

I say, "Thank you", try not to blush, and then continue with whatever I was doing.

[Buenchico]

I tend to use blatantly false modesty, with phrases like "It was nothing, really" ;-)

[1ozzy]

Graciously, with a tad of embarrassment.

Then capitalise on the moment.

" I could do the same for you, but, it will cost you just a tad" ;-)

[waterboatman]

Mercenary! ;o}

[1ozzy]

Some one needs to pay me Boaty, anyone, except a loved one.

I don't care where money comes from ;-/

[waterboatman]

Can't argue with that mate! ;o}

[murraymints]

shucks..where's me halo ?

[1ozzy]

It slipped down Minty.

Where do you wear it these days?

;-)

[murraymints]

EEK !

[-Talbot-]

I would probably say. "Shut up and show your appreciation by going to the bar"

[murraymints]

chees 'n' onion please

[cassa333]

I make a joke of it and say it didnt happen like that.

I don't accept praise well and would rather that just said thank you without going over the top.

[aelmpvw]

i drink it in and keep the subject going for as long as possible

[emmie]

i don't or at least not well, i stutter something inane and though i might be secretly pleased find i don't take praise at all well.
