"You're so annoying! All you do is help, help, and help. Sheesh, aren't you tired of being dependable?"
"I don’t understand people who say, “I don’t know how to thank you!” Like they’ve never heard of money."
They just managed to say the words when saying they didn't know how
"You conspired to help us, forcing us to send you this thank you card. Takes a lot to fool us."
"Thanks for not getting me a lump of coal."
"You're brilliant. Or maybe I'm brilliant because I know you?"
No. You don't get to take credit for me. Doesn't work that way champ
"Like cheese, I’m truly grate-ful for all that you do."
"I have nothing funny to say, but thank you."
"Thank you for being you; that's all we ever want. A million dollars, and that."
"So you did something wonderful, and now I'm forced to send you this card dripping with thanks, gheesh, does it always have to be about you!!"
"Sorry, this letter is arriving late. I wanted to send out my thanks earlier, but I was afraid of what might happen. I’d say, “thank you” and then you’d feel obligated to thank me for my consideration. I’d have to say thanks again in response, starting an infinite progression of “thank yous” that never ends. So belated thanks… no need to respond."
"Today I am wearing the smile that you left me with the other day."
Ok, this one I like. Simple but seems more sincere than the rest
"If I had a cent for every time I appreciate you, I’d be a millionaire."
That is probably an exaggeration. Maybe if you had a dollar every time
"Thank you for still being my friend, despite being aware of every raunchy, unflattering, explicit detail of my life."
This is the Blanche specific verse from the Golden Girls theme song before they decided to cut the character specific verses from the final edit.
"Thank you for being my unpaid therapist."
Thank you for being the uncredited star of my newly published murder mystery, What Happens When You Follow the Voices
"Just a generic thank-you card to prove I have excellent manners."
"If I knew how to say thank you, I would."
You just said the two words together. Just take the other words around them away
"I don’t know how to thank you enough for your help. I guess I’ll just have to keep thanking you until I get it right."
"Thanks for the support, you’re a true friend. And also the only person who didn’t laugh when I asked for help."
"So you think you're all that? So what if you saved my bacon, solved my problem, and soothed my soul? Show off."
"I've thanked you and thanked you and thanked you and thanked you over a hundred times, it seems—man, I'm sick of repeating myself."
"You're like a diamond in the rough—wait, no, that's me—thank you for always helping to polish me up a little. I need it."
"Thank you for just being the freakishly amazing humanoid you are."
I'm afraid you have me confused with Freakazoid. No worries, it's a common problem
"You make me want to say thank you in other languages, and I can barely speak English."
"Thanks for the help, I couldn’t have done it without you… or maybe I could have, but it would have taken me twice as long and been half as fun."
Fair enough. Cue an "You're welcome!"a la Mailbox from Blues Clues
"You've put my life back on track to being the incredible journey it was meant to be; you're a little too awesome for your underwear."
"Do you even know how to fail? Thank you for never learning that! Your help saved me again."
"A million bucks, that's what you're worth to us. Unfortunately, this lousy cheap thank you card is all you're getting."
"I put on my best dress, took out the champagne, and toasted to your fantastic, generous nature. Then I bought myself a gift to really show you how much I appreciate you! Not really; it's all true, but the gift part. Thank you."
What a strange form of narcissist. Dressing up and drinking champagne in toasts to me all alone in your apartment and then thinking about buying yourself a present to celebrate me? So so strange
"Roses are red. Violets are blue. But you don’t need to know that. I’m just saying “thank you.”"
"I’ll get you next time."
"I truly appreciate you from from my head to my toes."
Thank you, and you are welcome. See, not hard at all people!
"This isn’t a thank-you card, it’s a hug with a fold in it."
I'm pretty sure this is a card. If it grows arms and tries to squeeze me, there will be capital P Problems.
"I would like to thank my speech writers, copy & paste."
And now there is a blatant admission of plagiarism, good job! That deserves a mocking slow clap
"I’m not getting you a holiday present because I know you don’t like writing thank-you notes."
"The way I show appreciation is by not saying it at all. Silence!"
*squinting for evidence of appreciation* So, no poster or anything to go with the silence?
"If you really want your friends to remember you, give them something cheap. So, thank you!"
Or, alternatively, be a real friend. Amazing how those memories will be remembered fondly for many years.

"Did I ever thank you for all you've done? In case I didn't, let this card be your notice of thanks."
"If you could see my face, you’d know immediately how grateful I am, but since you can’t, allow me to describe it. Strong jaw set in chiseled, handsome features. A smile that beams for days. Uncanny good looks that baffle the imagination. A friendly, amiable smile formed around the words, “thank you so, so much!”"
"A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail. A best friend is the one sitting next to you saying, “Boy, that was fun!”"
"Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! If I had a dollar for each, I’d be rich! (Seriously, let’s put that plan in motion for next year)."
"Mom — thank you for teaching me how to use the big potty. That has proven to be a valuable life skill."
"Thanks for the assistance, I think we make a great team. I bring the brains and you bring the good looks."
"Thanks for the lift, I couldn’t have gotten home without you… and trust me, no one else wanted me to try."
"I’m not sure what I did to deserve your help, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep doing it until I do it again."
"I don’t know how to thank you enough for your help, so I’ll just have to keep thanking you until the universe balances itself out."
"In a world filled with sub-par people, you're an above-the-crowd type. Thanks for being annoyingly perfect."
"Since I'm always sending them to you, I finally got organized and bought a box of 500 thank you cards. Well, thanks for all you did for me, and thanks for the bit of money I saved buying your cards in bulk."

"We wanted to buy you a paid vacation to Hawaii as a thank you, but if we could do that, we wouldn't have needed your help and could have hired someone instead and saved the money, and sent ourselves on that trip. Wow, that was rude. Sorry, what we're trying to say is that without your help, we couldn't have written all this gold in your thank you card. So, thank you!"
"To say thank you, we bought you a star—not really, but look up, and the first star you see is yours. You deserve the moon, too; we're working on that."
"Thank you is easy. What you did for us was impossible. So we're taking skydiving lessons to try and keep up with your mad skills."
"If you knew how awesome you were, you'd be way more conceited. Thank goodness you're not too bright. Thanks!"
"We're in a bit of a pickle; we want to thank you, but we're afraid you might think we're grateful. We decided to risk it. Happy thank you card day."
"We wanted to thank you for the huge favor you did us recently. We owe you big. If you don’t remember what we’re talking about, it was that minor favor you did that probably didn’t bear mentioning and definitely doesn’t require payback."
"You must have people telling you how awesome you are all the time. Because there’s no way that quality is flying under the radar. You’re a towering beacon of helpfulness, and you shine all the time."

"The next time someone says to you, “I don’t know how to thank you” remind them that Hamilton, Grant, and Benjamin Franklin are all available to help. No one says “thank you” better. Just wait until after this thank you card. Thanks again!"
"We can’t tell you how much we appreciate what you did for us. Your generosity knows no bounds… or does it? Next time we’re going to ask for $100,000 cash, the keys to your lakehouse, and both of your kidneys. Then we’ll see just how generous you really are…"
"To show you how much I appreciate your help I'd do a happy dance at the edge of a volcano. I'd climb inside the tiger's teeth. I'd learn other languages and use them all to say "thanks!" I'd climb up on an arena platform and give into a tiny vat of water, with sparklers attached to my toes while reciting the Star-Spangled Banner. Yes, there's nothing I wouldn't do!"
"I know you hate saying “you’re welcome,” so I’ll do you the favor and not say thank you, but I am feeling it on the inside."

"In a world of bad guys, you're one of the good guys. Shocking because most of the time, you fit right in as a bad guy. Thanks."
"I don't want to puke thank you over and over because that's just not cool, so I'll only send you this one card with the words thank you in big print once. Now let's forget everything you've done! Not really. How could I? You're too awesome."

"This card is sending birthday wishes, albeit early... very early. It's also wishing you a happy Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Arbor Day, and really every other holiday you can think of.
