i know you must have encountered at least one person in your entire life who is like this... he/she asked for your help, you went out of your way, you helped him or her get through a situation, you helped and yes it is true that you do not expect anything in return... but somehow after all the things you did.. you did not even get a single "thank you", no.. nothing it was as if you were the one who needed to help, you were the one who should be thanking the person... hehe so have you encountered such a person? how did the experience made you feel?

I have encountered people like that. There were even those that I have helped and in the end have done things to harm me making me appear bad to my friends. I really did not expect such considering that I know I have been good and have even done more than enough to help even extending help financially. It was really frustrating and from there I have realized that there are people who are like that. From then on, I have realized that they are not worthy to be called friends.

Oh yes! And sometimes you can't help but get hurt and feel unappreciated. But there are just some people who don't have a grateful heart. :)

I generally feel used when I dont get thanked for going out of my way to do something for someone. I never really expect anything in return but hearing the words Thank You is nice after doing something for someone. I always make it a point to say thank you to someone who has done something for me.

It has happened many a times, when I helped something and she or he took it for granted. On the other hand many a times people said 'thanks' for the small favours, when I expected the least. It is part of life and we should take it on our stride.

Yes, I have experienced some people who don't say the word thank you even after you have helped them. I don't ask them to say it as well, I don't mind it sometimes. They have their reasons not to say the word maybe. Although, it is not an excuse, they should really try to learn to say it and so others will feel that they have done a good job in helping or assisting the person.

I think we all experience it. It's really anoying when you do something nice and people just ignore it and don't respond. Thank you these two words are so easy and we all should remember about them.

Just something to add- some people are saying Thank you too much and it looses its meaning.

Yes I have encountered people who are like this and I wonder what's on their minds. I am not really sure if they just forget to say it or if they intentionally didn't say it or plainly, they don't know how to say it- you know they were never taught about saying it, never taught of the letters it consists, that they don't know how to syllabicate it. For me, thank you is an important word. People must not forget to say that at times appropriate. So whenever I encounter people like this, I pray to God that they'll start to learn to say it eventually.

I have a friend who will never say thank you about anything. I send her and her family cards for Birthdays, Easter and Christmas, and she's never actually said thank you for any of them. I always used to copy up my notes for her when she was in the same class as me and she never thanked me for those either. I don't know whether she's ungrateful or if she honestly doesn't think that she has anything to thank me for, but it might be nice to be appreciated just a little bit more from time to time considering everything that I do for those close to me.

I have encountered a few people like these and i do feel awful. I have not expected anything but be appreciated for what i have done by saying thank you. These are simple words that some people seem to forget nowadays. Let us not forget to say thank you always even for those things that we see as little.

A pleasant day to you Chiyosan, With reference to your main topic discussion, I do really feel bad whenever I encounter people who does not really know how to say thank you. As this is just a simple gesture of giving back the favor that you have done to your fellow. As this is absolutely free and no effort is needed when saying this lines.

Immediately when I saw your post title I came to reply, "Yes, they say 'Tank U'". But after reading the description, this is my answer. Yes, of course, we don't expect something from then in return, but our mind doesn't feel better when they even dont say a thank you. I highly doubt it, whether it is our mistake or theirs.

Some people forget to say thank you. Some are not taught at a young age how to say thanks. If you have a child you got to teach them to be thankful. Don't be surprise if they will grow up ungrateful if you have not taught them the value of appreciating the good that is done to them.

hello, Of course! I do experience this kind of person and for me it is annoying because she never know how to say thank you at all! I give her a big favor and after that I did not even received any thank you or anything to her. My god! Well, I cant say that i will not help her anymore but instead if she also give a favor maybe I will say thank you. For her to realize how important to other people how they approach your effort in doing anything.

yes, i encountered this kind of persons. They may be ungrateful. i even think that some of them have reasons only them know why they didn't say it after a help was done. I have experiences with my sisters-in-law, they don't say thank you whenever I gave something to them or for something that I've done for them. I just didn't mind it at all. I was just observing them. One time one of my sisters-in-law had done something for me and I said thank you to her. Her answer was this, no need to say it, she was only doing it because it was only she who can do it since she lives in the place where I asked her to transact.

You are not alone. I encounter people like that regularly. Despite my busy schedule, I try to accommodate requests for help as much as I can. But it's really disappointing when after I squeezed in time just to do someone a favor, I would never hear any word of thanks and the person would seem to "forget" me until he/she needs my help again. I have learned to distance myself from those kinds of people after they've done that to me once or twice. I'd rather give assistance to those who know how to appreciate the help they have been given even with just a simple thank you.

i feel dismayed with my step-children especially my step-daughter. i always thought she is already matured, etc. and i also feel no respect from her. she used to be sweet when she was young. but when she gets 18 and until now, i have never felt being respected and she is not appreciative with our sacrifices.

Hi there! I've had my own share of people like these. I don't bother with it anymore chiyosan. If they say thank you for a favor I gave or did for their behalf, great! If not, then it's fine! I know I'll get my thanks from other peeps or other circumstance for sure. That's just how the world works. hihi..

each of us has faced this problem of how to say thank you. I think most importantly we have to try this thanks to him and feel grateful for the help then easier to say thank you. nice day!
