[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents somehow knew all these things even though they grew up poor. But one thing that stood out to me- I was taught that if you thank someone in person, you do not have to write a thank you note. I’ve recently gotten the impression this is not universal, and I may have come off as rude by not writing a note too.[/quote] You were taught correctly. A thank you note is redundant if you have thanked the giver in person. A thank you note a) lets the person know you received the gift, and 2) thanks them. You don't need the note for either if they handed it to you and you thanked them. A lot of people do not understand this because they haven't thought hard enough about it or did not have someone who knew the actual etiquette teaching them about thank you notes. These are the people who think it is rude not to get one in writing even when the person has thanked them in person. They don't know what the f%^* they are talking about. [/quote]
