I went to the Post Office to post a letter. I was just about to walk in when a old lady was coming towards me & so i held the door open for her, she smiled & said thank you. A few feet behind her was another women (late fifties) & so i waited with the door ajar for her too.
She walked straight through & didn't even acknowledge my pressence let alone say thank you. So i said in a loud vioce in her ear "thank you", but she just kept walking. Either she was deaf, dumb & blind or just plain ignorant, the latter i presume >:( >:(
The next time i'll say "ignorant bitch" & see if that gets a response ;D
Why this really winds me up i don't know, but it does :-/
-
I find saying "You're welcome" in a very loud voice normally works well :y :y
Quite often get a "Pardon?" to which I resply, "Oh, I thought you said Thank you!" ::) ::) ;D ;D
Followed by a very sheepish retreat by the offending party ;D ;D

I wasn’t in the best of moods (which isn't like me!) rushing around on my college break a couple of years back. I can’t remember what I / She had done, but I remember calling her an ignorant cow! And her looking quite shocked! (Still never said ‘thanks’ or anything). Remember one of my mates commenting on how rude she was too >:( >:(

That`s the misnomer about 'common courtesy': it`s not at all common! :'(
I always appreciate and value courtesy: but sadly, graciousness (both in the giving and the receiving) is rapidly becoming a 'lost art'.:(

Zebra crossings. I always say thank you, or nod my head, or acknowledge in some way that a driver has stopped to let me cross.
Don't think there is anyone in the country under the age of 50 who is even aware of this minor common courtesy. >:( >:( >:(

If I hold a door for someone and they do not say thanks then as they walk away I say " I think you've dropped something" I carry on as they stand around checking pockets and looking around the floor ;D ;D

I like that one & will try it. I've found exactly the same thing. You hold the shop door open only to be ignored. I shout "Thankyou" if no responce.
Seems some of us were brought up prpoerly. ::)
