I don't think you're out of line to ask for a simple thank-you. Had I done that I'd appreciate that, too.

Well yeah.

I mean, if you aren't sure if you SHOULD send one . . . it's like, go ahead and send it anyway, moron. Do you think the person is going to get the thank you in the mail, and get mad? Or rip it up, throw it on the ground & stomp on it? WTF. No way. Thank-yous are ALWAYS appreciated!

Oh man I hate this too. I never get a thank-you from my dad's kids which IMO should be my step-mother's responsibility OR my dad's. So every year I think "do I even bother" but of course it's not their fault. I had Gavin write a thank you to my mgr for giving him an easter bag & she thought it was AWESOME. It's in her office. I'm surprised it's a big deal b/c I WRITE THANK YOUS. Apparently it's fallen to the waste side & that irritates me too! Now that I think about it, I ALWAYS make ppl baby pkgs when they pop one & I don't think I've ever gotten a thank you. I can't even remember the last time I got one for anything... WTF? *grrrrrrrrr*

Wow I'm so glad you empathize with this one, doll! One thing I love about you is that you DO always fashion a timely thank-you! It's like, whenever I send you a surprise package you send me a thank-you note in the form of ANOTHER PACKAGE addressed to me! :P You're great. Definitely keep up with the thank-yous!! You can rise above all these ungrateful shitheads who just assume they should have gifts coming to them!!

You're great! *hugs*

Okay, what the hell? If somebody did that for me I would be like, "Oh my god, thank you so much!!!" and see if there was any kind gesture I could do to return the favor. Learn to fucking recognize when someone has gone out of their way for you and APPRECIATE it. Sorry they pulled the asshole card on you, love, I'm sure karma will do its thing.

Why thankies! I used to spend a LOT of time searching for LJ icons! ^__^

And I'm glad that you agree with me. It's nice to know that people still recognize SOME form of manners. Don't ever let go of that, sweetie! It will give you an edge in life, especially in the business world, TRUST ME!

They sound like twats. I hate people like that. Granted, I fail at the whole handwritten thank you thing, but I ALWAYS call/thank in person for things.

that's what I'm saying! Is it really THAT HARD to utter those 2 little words when you are already talking to somebody?

I saw this chick at work. She spoke to me for like 1o minutes. We talked about her fucking baby. Yet she was never like, "Oh by the way, what you did was really nice." Nope. Nothing. I'ts like, I DID half expect a little thank-you in the mail when I DIDN'T hear from her directly, but nope. Nothing.

I wonder if I should tell her how I feel. Or if its better to just let ignorant people remain ignorant.
