When I get someone a gift-many times I don’t get a thank you. My friend said as an adult it’s your right to ask them to thank you. Something along the lines of.. “Hey I was wondering how you liked your gift. You like it, that’s good. So thank me for it and I will appreciate it.”
I thought that was a little aggressive. But he said I’m an adult and I don’t have to be a baby about this. He says a man that wants to be thanked should ask to be thanked and not have to feel bad about it. He thought I was crazy for questioning it and he said I need to be a mature adult and ask everyone to thank me if that’s what I want.
What do you think? If you are wondering why someone didn’t thank you for a gift should you tell them to thank you?

I think asking for a thank you would devalue the gift as it makes it look you you only got the gift for a thank you.
Who was the gift for?

You like it, that’s good. So thank me for it and I will appreciate it.”
You obviously know that's where it got awkward and out of line

You got to give the gift with the intention to please God and expect nothing in return from people.

No, are you autistic?
Don’t mean any offense but in what situation is asking for a thank you ever ok?

I'm not involved in the board politics. I don't know who is feuding with who. I just take everyone as I find them, and post abuse at people without knowing which faction they belong to.

I am very old school , and expect a thank you.
If I give something , and the person doesn't thank me , it is the last time they will receive something from me,
Why should I bust my ass for a homer , that is punking me !!!
I can guarantee my step kids have done this to me , lack of respect , and I just wrote them right OUT of the will.
They think they are better than me - **** them.

Didn't you make this thread before?
Maybe your gift sucked. I never say thanks if I didn't like the gift. Step up your gifting game

What kinda losers are you gifting, that don't say thank you? I can understand if it's a toddler, usually the parents have to remind them to say thank you. Even if you don't like the gift, you say thanks. Unless you're socially retarded.
I thought you were talking about people you hold the door open for, I get that in my building sometimes. I hold the door for some sap on the phone and then they don't even say thanks. Sometimes, I give them a sarcastic you're welcome. I don't do it for a thank you, I do it to be nice but at least show appreciation.

Even family members I send gifts to don’t say thank you. They say you can’t have expectations and should do it from the heart.

I wish OP was a real person. That would have been funny.

It genuinely pisses me off when people don't say thank you to the person that helped them, like I think less of you as a human being if you don't say please and thank you.
However you shouldn't need to ask someone to say thank you as it's something someone should say naturally.

Yeah because you must have a mega cokk to post 11,000 times in four years.

Yep, there are plenty of people without manners. The ones that dont compliment the host if the dinner was fine, dont notice your favors or even OP example. **** them all, I hate that shit.

I would expect a thank you - especially from adults.
but I would never ask/demand for a thank you. and I would definitely never ever use that quote.
