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
None of us deserve anything we get.
I worked my *kitten* off for my law degree - I deserved that, I also deserve everything I buy with the money i earn from a job in which I gained due to said law degree so im sorry i dont agree with that statement0 -

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.
i wouldn't be shocked at all. Not in the current world we live in.
You win the award for the most negative person i have come into contact with today

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 you0 -

omg really?0 -
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.0 -
Some people are dilholes.0

I kicked a cat in the street the other day right in front of the kid playing with it.. did he say thanks???? no... so rude.....
LMAOOOOO!
oh this almost made me spew coffee everywhere!0 -
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.0 -
It wasnt pointless!! It was a cat that needed a good boot......I kicked a cat in the street the other day right in front of the kid playing with it.. did he say thanks???? no... so rude.....
Sooo pointless.
I think your balls need a good boot!!! :laugh:0 -
Maybe it was not her bag, and she didn't want to hang about when the owner came out and saw you helping her steal it.
Did you actually think?
did i actually think ? what sort of question is that ? christ im in a lose lose sitaution here arent i !! if i give her bag back i could be helping her steal it and if i dont give her it back some women has just lost her purse and contents of her bag !! tell me what you would have done ? oh to be perfect
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... 0 -
I can understand your frustration. It's like people have forgotten to be grateful almost like they expect to be catered too, but you can't change your goodness or who you are to fit these bad apples dear.0

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.
MANNERS!!!!!!!!!!!! MANNERS!!!!!!!!

you assume it was rudeness. maybe it was. or maybe she was just told she has cancer. why assume in the negative?0 -
Very well put. Doing the good deed should be the reward in itself.0

I held the door for a man the other day, he walked through to another set of doors and I was right behind him and he just let the door shut on me. SO RUDE. :noway:
Why would you hold the door for him? He should have opened and held BOTH doors for you!0 -
Im all about manners. She sounds like a C**t0
-
Karma is BS... manners are not.
The poster is quite right. I'd still have done it but I would be annoyed, I would have given her the finger at the very least...0 -
Manners cost nothing. A simple thank you would have been the polite well mannered thing to do.0
-
At least she didn't cuss you out for stopping her and making her late. Forgive her rudeness. She obviously was in a hurry in the first place.
How about I just thank you for her?
Thank you for being so kind and considerate. :flowerforyou:0 -

Just need a little vent !! Popped to the local village in my lunch hour to go to the bank and when I returned to the car park and sat in my car i noticed the car infront of me driving off but there was a handbag by the back wheel so i jumped out of my car and ran to the car with the bag in my hand (which was now near the car park exit!) and tapped on the window, the women put her window down and when i asked "is this your bag?" she said "oooooo yeah it is" shut the door and drove off !! no thank you !!! ooooo boiled my blood !!! x
should have held onto it and said prove its yours and offer a reward0 -

you assume it was rudeness. maybe it was. or maybe she was just told she has cancer. why assume in the negative?
This is exactly what I was going to say. If she was so flustered that she left her purse on the ground than why can't you assume that she was maybe flustered all around.
Maybe she just got fired or dumped, maybe she was at the mall picking up medicine for her extremely sick child.
If you get so upset because you don't get a thank you for doing a good deep than don't bother doing them.
I think we really know which person was being rude here.0 -

Maybe she was and unfortunately we will probably never know although I'm sure we will debate it in the next 10-11 pages. I have never been given news like that so I can't say that if this were the case (or something equally as awful) that I would react any differently in my distraction. I do stand by my assertion, though maybe not in this case. I don't let it stop me from doing nice things...I always enjoy the pleasant surprise when someone does respond with politeness 0 -

^^^ THIS ^^^ Or, maybe someone she loved just died or was in an accident- you never know what is going on in a person's life. I get frustrated when I don't get a thank you when I do something nice for someone and then I try to remind myself that I have no idea what is going on in their life. I will never forget sitting at the bank when someone I love had passed away that morning and being told to, "HAVE A GREAT DAY!". I never wanted to get out of the car and punch someone else in the face as much as I did in that moment. I doubt I said thank you to the teller that day.0 -
Meh...she may have just been in a hurry.
I do good things for people all the time....getting a thank you back is icing on the cake.0 -

please dont tell me you think im being rude ? im not so upset nor am i crying into my coffee, i was having a rant and I had deep down i reckon most people would have felt the same as i was - no matter what my day had been like i can 100% say i would have said thank you flustered or not, but thank you for you opinion 0 -
