Am I just too touchy?

[tazzie]

   I never just say Thank you I always type out a sentence or two.Mum always says I talk too much...but well thats just me.
 However as someone who goes to the records office sometimes I get a little *&%^$  annoyed when I do not even get a reply to my trawl through the PR's for them...or a Well why can't you find them  ...like I am some kind of Paul Daniels!
  Like Christopher I think the general standard of manners has hit an all time low. My 2 little ones 3 & 7 both know please & thank you  . My eldest will hold open doors without me prompting him as well.
  Only last week he held the door open for a gentleman (using that term loosely here) the man walked through ...no Thank you no Nothing. Matthew being Matthew took exception to this and in a loud voice said "Dont think I will bother next time". To which the man turn round and told him not to be so cheeky. To which in stepped mum to "have a word" and tell this "gentleman" exactly how I rated him on the scale of Pond life to human. Needless to say Matthew received an apology and "gentleman" sent on his way with a flea in his ear.

I've just notice a few old threads on one of the county boards where the person has asked a question, had help and then the person has either written COMPLETED and locked the thread  or just locked the thread. No thanks for any of the hard works at all.

And I know from the person(s) doing the look ups that no private thanks were given.

Now that is extremely rude in my book

Mine too, even a Cheers would be preferable!

I have to say though, if I ever thank somebody by PM, I always add the same message to the thread anyway, I think it just closes it down and completes it.  Perhaps it was the way I was brought up!

I must admit that, on occasion, I have even responded to an effusive "Thank You" with a "Your Welcome" which opens up a whole new can of worms.

When and where is it polite to stop the backwards and forwards of thanking and acknowledgemnts of thanks...!?!

Thanks

I get where you are coming from, I often give a Your welcome and then hope they don't come back again!  But I imagine that should be sufficient.

It's a bit like a game I play with my 8 year old niece, I say I'm happy today, she says I'm glad, I say I'm glad your'e glad, she says, I'm glad you're glad that I'm glad.............

If I do a lookup for someone and I do not receive any recognition for my labours then I will NOT bother with that particular person again.

Must run in the family, cousin Jayson 

But I relent - the other genes obviously kicking in there
