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

    I guess that's where they get the expression - "no good deed goes unpunished". Yes it was totally rude of her not to thank you!!!!

    Maybe her fish just died and she was mourning. Not everyone is rainbows and butterflies all day, every day.

    I hate people like that. Same goes for when I hold the door for someone, no thank you...nothing. Makes me wish I slammed the door in their face.

    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:

    Not an acceptable excuse in my view. No matter how bad her day was, a simple thank you was in order.

    Such an entitled mentality. I'll only do for you if you do for me.

    I outta give you a good boot, BUT since you have a Harley, I'm assuming, I will not. Plus, I don't think my size 8 will do any damage.

    I think someone important once said-

    it's better to give than to receive"

    if she forgot her purse she was obviously distracted by something, right?

    you earned some karma points...rejoice and have a nice cold apple with some peanut butter!

    Whatever... A bit judgmental though, aren't you? I never said I wouldn't do for someone else if they didn't do for me. I have done quite a few things for people completely anonymously. That does not mean it is acceptable for others to lack simple courtesy and manners.

    this wasnt a cute fuzzy little kitten, it was a mangy looking cat with no collar, had its ears back and my neighbors 5 yr old was trying to pet it. I didnt want this kid to get shredded bit or worse rabies, so i sent the cat on down the street.... not everything is as it seems....

    Well, it's not anonymous now. Good for you. We all do it. I just don't expect anything in return and I certainly don't get angry if they don't thank me.

    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.

    :laugh: But the mangy looking cat is just a baby, he just looks mangy because he's had a rough life. His mom and dad abandoned him, and he's had to fend for himself his whole life. He was born with his ears back.

    Of course it is still anonymous. No one who has received anything from me anonymously knows now either. It has remained anonymous. I didn't give you or anyone else on this site any details. Simply demonstrating that you rushed to an erroneous judgment. I am done arguing over this though. The OP was simply venting. I happen to agree with her. You don't. That is fine. We don't have to agree. I am fine with that and I hope you are too.

    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.

    i wouldn't be shocked at all. Not in the current world we live in.

    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.
