    Whenever someone doesn't return my kind gesture I just remind myself of karma. They'll get theirs. :flowerforyou:

    what makes me mad is when my one of my kids (ages six and nine) holds a door open for a grown adult and they get ignored for it. I usually say THANK YOU FOR HOLDING THE DOOR FOR THAT PERSON loud enough for them to hear.

    So, does that mean you're only willing to do good things if people are polite afterwards? Anybody can do that. It takes a stronger person to love unconditionally and not care about the response.

    No but she doesnt deserve it returned if she isnt going to appreciate it, doesnt mean i wouldnt do it again for the fact i may not get a thank you

    Lol what? No. All she said is that she was shocked that she didn't get a thank you. Are you saying that you wouldn't be shocked if you ran after somebodies car to help them in some way or another and they didn't thank you?
    It's called Manors.

    Fair enough, if you've lost your faith in humanity then there is no saving you. But please don't imply that people are weak for expecting a simple thank you. You can be the most selfless person on the planet but manors are manors.

    I haven't lost faith in humanity. It's the expectation that people have that bugs me. They think it's a right that others should be polite when somebody else is kind. Again, it's an entitlement. Would it have been nice if the lady said thank you? Sure. But like others have said on here, she has no idea what was going on in that lady's life at the moment. She just made the assumption that because she didn't get the thank you she deserved, the lady was rude.

    and also to note i did not say i wish i hadnt given her it back i said i wish i hadnt seen it - there is no doubt in my mind that i wouldnt have given her it back, i am more than willing to help someone else out regardless of their being a risk they may not say thank you

    I'm a little confused by all the responses defending this rudeness...ok she might have been having a bad day, but I'm quite positive it would have been worse had someone else picked up her purse and went on a free for all with credit and debit cards...this woman chased her down to give her bag back. that deserves at least a thank you and I feel she is completely entitled to this rant!

    As for those saying you only do something nice if you get something out of it...what exactly did she get out of it? Stop me if I'm wrong OP, but I feel like she probably didnt' chase this woman's car down thinking of the thanks she will get. She did it because it is the right thing to do.

    I can't stand rudeness...common courtesy is no longer common so I completey side with the OP here.

    even if you don't think so, she may have been flustered and out of sorts...

    we don't do nice things for other people, we do them for our own karma...

    that's all.

    I hope no one is questioning the fact that what you did was a good thing! And yes, it sucks when you do something like that for someone and receive no gratitude. I also agree with the karma thing. Good things shall come to you for putting out your possitiveness unto the world. :) I also want to defend the purse lady, if she was sooo distracted that she almost left her purse than obviously she has a lot going on. Not excusing the fact she didn't say thank you but she could have been so flustered that it didn't come to mind...
