For Neganur,'s response: Reminded me, in reverse situation: I had rescued a feral cat family (5 kitten + mom), but needed help with supplies / food / kitty liter being unemployed EE at the time 1996 recession ish. The humane society lady complained about me, mercylessly: I hadn't thought to thank her later. Just thought I, being a HERO was enough: I simply did not have a 'THANK YOU' follow-up on my radar screen. Maybe, you could prioritize your agenda, first, keeping your antenna up, for cases that aren't so reciprocating as they come, and develop a sense for putting really bad offenders into the TODO box. When I venture into road / crosswalk I don't completely expect drivers to stop; many won't and are perfectly unaware... Some will never get it, but I just avoid bitterness. SF bay area has some ignorant drivers, but many just never got 'a talk...' on those two basics, thanking and using please. There's a lot of aggressive METH users, too, to occasionally encounter, a la BREAKING BAD... That crew is not likely to change, soon. Myself, sometimes along with thanks, or skipped thanks, I will substitute an honest complement like: "You guys are the BEST! Donut shop, etc" -RJHayward |
