[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do I keep an actual list of who sent a thank you note?  No.  Do I mentally note that I didn't receive one.  Absolutely.  It's common courtesy to thank someone for a gift and if the recipient can't be bothered to acknowledge the gift, then I won't be bothered to send them a gift in the future. [/quote]

Charming.  Hopefully nobody will be bothered to invite you to anything in the future, either.  That will go along splendidly with your[b] tit for tat viewpoint[/b].[/quote]

Tit for tat viewpoint?  How about I don't want to associate (or give gifts to) people who are rude and [b]can't be bothered to take 3 minutes [/b]to write a thank you.  I can't fathom why you're defending not writing thank you notes.  It's a very basic, common courtesy and an easy one at that.  That's unless you want to raise your kids to be entitled spoiled brats who don't acknowledge people's generosity.  [/quote]

FWIW, I do write thank you notes.  Fairly religiously.  It takes WAY more than 3 minutes to do it.  It takes 5 min. just to locate the address book and address the letters.  Add it buying the notes and writing something thoughtful.

I don't believe you have to send TY notes if there is a verbal Thank You.  But, I do it anyways.  It's 50% b/c I am trying to be thankful; 50% to satisfy folks like the high-maintenance hens on this Board.[/quote]
