[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look. Historically it was women who wrote the thank you letters. I have never met a man who would write a thank you letter, let alone take the time to figure out what everybody sent and come up with a few sentences on how he planned to use it.

And maybe that made sense when women stayed at home, and relationships were their responsibility.

But now with women working full time, it’s ridiculous to expect them to also spend hours on this unpaid labor that no man would ever do. They (or really, she, because I’m guessing the wife did this) are smart for finding a solution that requires little time yet still got the thank you note out.[/quote]

Gotta love this new generation. Not too busy to plan a big expensive wedding and fill out that registry, but too busy and entitled to be bothered with sending a proper thank you. [/quote]

We live in a vulgar age.[/quote]

Indeed. How vulgar for OP to not only receive a thank you card in the mail, which did indeed have handwriting on it and which did indeed mention the specific gift they were thanking her for, but to also receive a photo of the smiling couple, which are presumably people she loves. It was a bit unconventional, so OP—in a very vulgar fashion—ran to the Internet to whine and complain that someone had the audacity to…thank her.

We do live in a vulgar age, when even acts of gratitude are judged and picked apart and sneered at by people like the OP. [/quote]
