Always. Another question--How many gifts have you sent in the past year and never received a thank you? If one spends the time and energy to send a gift, I believe a thank you is in order.

I do and I appreciate it when others do also.......
but don't you just love it when you are exiting (seniors, that is) and someone pushes right in front of you...and almost knocks you over and then you get a look from them because you were in their way....
Oh well, do you think some of the younger generation ever heard of Emily Post??? lololol

I think a big part of it is that parents are so worn out with high stress jobs that they don't take the time to install manners in their children. Just like most of us never took the time to play with our children every often. Or at least I didn't I play more with my grandchildren than I ever did my sons. Sad to say that but it is true.

I also quit going to a certain doctor because the SOB wouldn't look me in the eye. I hate it when people don't have the curtosity to even look you in the face. I didn't really like him anyway.

If someone "forgets" to thank me (for holding door, etc.) I say "You're welcome" in a friendly manner - and usually get a belated "Oh, thank you", of course sometimes it's just a strange look instead!!

yup. my parents taught me and my brother well. and we hold doors for people and look someone in the eye when giving a hand shake. because I've been told a good handshake goes a long way. my parents have had complements on how polite we are from great uncles and people at church. the two of us just see it as what you do, not going out of our way. guess it was how we were raised.
