Yeah, I agree. I was the shy kid in class. I would mumble everything and it was really difficult for me to look at people. I hid from other kids during lunch. I spent most of my time just never talking.

But I was the politest little shit you ever met.

No one ever felt like I was rude about it either. I was clearly shy but they could always tell I was grateful.

(And the money thing just puts me out, my gosh. You don't do that. With the economy the way it is there is no excuse for pulling that kind of shit.)
