My sister is 34, we were raised to say Thank you and write Notes of appreciation. Especially to out of town family.
Well older sis. Is just an ingrate all the way around. So no one gives her things anymore.
her defense at being so classless.
"I didn't ask for it, its not my fault they gave it to me"
So you only have to say thank you if they gave you what you ask for..... Right.... So rude
