      That would mean that when normal people have close to zero gratitude, your gratitude would tend to infinity.

      This is the kind of guy who always thanks the bus driver.

        Now you’ve got me thinking about it. Time to nerd out, I guess, haha.

        From an algebraic perspective, it would be whatever “undoes” a thank you.

        From a logic perspective, it would be something that is the complement of a thank you, and contradicts a thank you given ty ∧ ¬ty or is a tautology when ty ∨ ¬ty.

        “Welcome” doesn’t seem to quite fit for either of those cases. “Not thank you” or “ungrateful” do indeed seem closer.
