Thank you notes

My mom has been buggin the crap outta me to do thank you notes from graduation a month ago. I finally sat down to do em. They are frickin retarded. I would never hope to get one in the mail from anyone that i HANDED a gift to and they obviously thanked me then. I understand it if you mailed a gift or check to someone.. but plz.. i dont need to get thanked again later in the mail.
 
damn man.. just quit bein lazy and send the thank you cards... were the gifts given to you by older people or peers.. if they were older people, like parents of your peers and friends of your parents, they definitely enjoy receiving things like that and will probably store it somewhere to keep...


EDIT: if they were peers, then there's really no need for thank you cards... at least I don't think so...
 
oh i started them... just taking a break.. i still dont understand it tho.. does it make them feel good to think that they sent a good gift..

Yes, it makes people feel good to think that they sent or gave you a nice gift that was appreciated. They expended the time and effort to go get you something they thought you would enjoy, so writing thank you notes is the least you could do.

:disgust:
 
i also hate thank you notes. it's like being 'over-polite'. i really don't like that it is expected etiquette, and i have to write them even when my aunt or whomever sends me the ugliest sweater ever which i will never wear. It's the same thing with &quot;god bless you&quot; after a sneeze. Wtf is the point of that? Why don't you say something after I cough? If i sneeze it's almost expected for somebody to say &quot;god bless you&quot; to which i MUST reply &quot;thank you&quot; and then they are therefore obligated to say &quot;your welcome&quot;. this bs really annoys me.
 
Yeah, well my policy is, if I don't get a thank you note, I don't give another gift. And that includes gifts given in person! If you were my nephew and I gave you $100 for graduation and you didn't send me a Thank You note, I'd still love you but I would not be so generous after that. You would just get a card next time.

Relationships are a two way street, and you shouldn't just expect someone to dig into their pockets for you without showing your appreciation... which means taking 3 minutes of your time to write a note.

In my old age, I have stopped bothering with relationships that are not reciprical. There is no way I am going to waste my precious time and energy on a person, place, or thing that is not in turn putting something back into a relationship with me.

So there! 😛
 
umm.. well what about when they hand me a gift.. i open it up and my eyes light up and i run over and give em a hug and thank em... then i have to write to them as well? its pretty damn obvious that i like the gift and thanked them from it...
