Even friends deserve a "thank you" if they do something for you, especially things you don't ask for or even stuff you *do* ask for. It's courteous. And the same goes for if you do something for them and they should also thank you as well. It's a two-way street; not just limited to strangers. Your friends deserve it too. I've done alot of stuff for a friend of mine and he's thanked me for it; showed his gratitude for my generosity.Huh? Is this New York state of thinking here? That's rude if you DO tell them they're stupid for being in your way!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> I'm a woman and I don't mind a man being a gentleman and holding doors open for me. Granted I don't go for that whole "women's lib" stuff.. I still like some of the "old-fashioned" stuff that nice guys can do. The only time I griped to the friend of mine was it being a potential risk for him hurting himself holding the door open as he's got a bad back and knees and had to lunge for the door before I got to it... Other than instances like that, I love it!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I don't care for the PC of today's society. Sugar-coating everything because we're so afraid of offending anyone... If you had a "tough skin", you shouldn't let stuff offend you so easily. People are people.. Just 'cause I say "bless you" when you sneeze, doesn't mean I'm giving you God's Blessing... It's a courteous thing that came from that but has lost much of its meaning over the years... it's more an automatic response than anything these days. And not all who say it are automatically blessing you in God's name and so forth... So am I. Within my means for helping someone out.. I've bought stuff for friends of mine who don't have the money and drove a four-hour round trip out of my way for a friend to enjoy the Star Wars movie as he couldn't see it on his own... Not to mention giving him a ride to a convention the first of the month, helping him cash a check as he doesn't have a bank account.I don't care for rudeness both at work and when I'm out somewhere. Those kind of people get dirty looks and muttered comments that, at times, I care not if they overhear them.I guess living in NYC gives you that kind of 'tude.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I AGREE THERE!! I prefer straight-up honesty any day over being decieved and lied to. Or stolen from! Nor do I like being trod upon like a pile of dirt either.</blockquote>
