manners gggrrrr
Yes this is a rant and if I could get away with putting naughty words in I would, as to be honest, I'm quite ggrrr angry about it
I gave something away via freecycle, There was no please or thank you from the recipient. Not the first time I've given something away and not got a please or thank you from freecycle users. I have offered someone some stuff at a price (not Rover related), no thank you for being given the first chance, no thank you for being given the chance. for grr sake have some grr manners and teach your grr children some grrr manners. rant over macafee2 |

Isn't there an "old" saying about "manners maketh man" or something like that?
I'm very happy to agree with you. Is it such a struggle to say "thank you" or are these people so self centred they just don't understand/get it etc? Andy. |

A sharp "You're welcome!" is how I respond to these people.
It sometimes gets you a "Oh, I'm sorry, thanks!" Othertimes it'll be a look that could kill. Thanks for this thread by the way

We could do with one of those on the forum for those that simply can't be bothered to click a "Thanks" button when one has quite obvioulsy posted something helpful.

SWMBO bought me a cappuccino out yesterday afternoon, and I did not say thank you. (not afraid of that old battleaxe)

Good Morning Jessica and Phil. I was never one not to speak my mind, If it had of been me, I would have said if I wanted to eat with a pig, and would have left the table. Julien |

Does anyone remember queues at bus stops?
That concept is no longer understood in London. |
