@akindheart Years ago at my job, our former marketing director was leaving and moving back to Chicago. She was giving out various personal items to us. She offered to give me a bottle of scotch. I told her thank you and that I have a friend who enjoys scotch and soda. She immediately got upset and snapped by saying if you are not going to drink it, I will give it to someone else. The lady acted like a petulant child.

Courtesy, or the attempt not to hurt the other person's feeling is something that's indeed lacking today. Once, in the 1960s it was so self-evident that one would hear a parent tell a child anywhere to say thank you. What's wrong now? Try everything. Even tv-program personalities becoming too big for their own boots. I'm so sorry that it happened to you. I know of a recent happening that is even worse. Someone wrote out very old-fashioned Church of England Easter cards and gave them to every parshioner last sunday. On a social media app everyone got a thank you except her. Somehow it's now proper for even a christian to get so mean because of envy

A simple thank you seems to be a bar too high for many people.
Are they rude or just clueless?
I keep stressing manners to my grandkids. Not the performative style but the manners that recognize the needs of others. Hopefully it sinks in.

@akindheart I know I want to say you do not have to do that, but with your heart that you have I know it would not do any good to tell you that you do not have too to do that. 🤗 Thank you in advance.

Nothing wrong with showing appreciation for a good deed. Unfortunately, many people act like it's no big deal....

@sarabee1995 my point exactly! I sure don't get it.
Maybe worth giving her a nudge to see if she's seen them?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@BritishFailedAesthetic yes i did. she had typed in her zipcode incorrectly and i at first assumed maybe she didn't want to give me her real address so I reached out and s ure enough they received it.
@akindheart Well, atleast it was a nice thing of you to do, sadly not everyone is greatful.
