I'm soft-spoken so I'd say around 30% of the people I meet don't hear me in public situations or when there's any noise around us.

One time a guy opened a door for me, and I said, "thank you".
A second later, he sarcastically responded, "YOOOOUUU'RRRRRRE WELLLLLCOMMMME!"

He obviously hadn't heard me thank him and thought I had said nothing at all.

I'm working on speaking more loudly, but...what a douche.

(as for "you're welcome," I normally say, "no problem" instead)
