Thank you for telling me I should learn how to spell.
Thank you for registering at my website and then being asked to be removed from my mailing list. I'm sorry to hear about your alzheimers.
Thank you for being a dishonest company and taking advantage of people and then threatening to sue me because I warned others about your dishonest practices.
Thank you for taking credit for my work.
Thank you for making money off of my writing.
Thank you for criticizing my writing style.
Thank you for calling me rude after I gave you prompt customer service and you demanded it there and then.
Thank you for getting offended at the compassion, yet honesty I showed you.
Thank you for insulting my looks.
Thank you for telling me that no one would rate my face. I best get my pic off the net.
Thank you for taking my taxi. I see that your parents taught you manners.
Thank you for asking for a favor from me and then not repaying the favor when I ask one of you. You're busy I understand. Of course you are and well me? I don’t have a life.
Thank you for not opening my door.
Thank you for not asking how I'm feeling.
Thank you for not noticing when I'm upset.
Thank you for never thanking me.
Thank you for taking advantage of my generosity. You are a very thoughtful soul.
Thank you from the bottom of my trousers. Opps, I meant heart.
Thank you! I love people. I wish everyone could be as kind, sweet and thoughtful as you.

Thank you for posting this and saying things that everyone one of us has thought and wanted to vocalize in our life.
I have seen a lot of rudeness and inconsideration being in the restaurant business. People no longer have any respect for others or take any responsibility for what they do.

I feel like copying this into a document, printing it off and sending it to every "person" I know like this. I have a list and everything ready to go.

Hello SWTROSE, well said and well done. I can not tell you the times I have not said what I was thinking because I thought it was rude. But you know what it isn't rude it is being honest with rude people, and yet I bet you a nickel some one is going to come back and tell you , you are just wrong. And I would answer them that people would not be so dam rude if we stood up and were counted, rather than let them get away with all the crap they feel free to fling. You are my hero. Robin

I almost spit cola on my screen. I got to remember not to take a drink just as I start to read one of your rants.

Yes, we all have down moments like this. Publishing them as a 'discussion' (or is it a 'poem'?) is another matter.
There is an up side to life too. You need to 'get a life', as they say. All you are doing with this outburst is proving WHY people have said all these things to you!

(And I realise that you maybe DO have a life outside this, LOL, and that you just needed to vent. I am also not nearly as much a cross-patch as I sound! I just didn't need to read that this early in the morning!)

Wow, what an accurate list of thank you's.
I think we have met the same people.
As I am in rant mood I would like to add a few myself!!
Thank you for not listening to me after I have spent the last hour listening to you.
Thank you for disowning me as a sister because for once I stood up to you.
Thank you for not standing by me after I put my job in jepardy after sticking up for you.
Thank you for ruining my country and not giving a shite.
I could go on forever.
Good discussion + Thanks.

Wow Swtrose, you have hit the preverbial nail on the head! This should be required reading for all people. Isn't it odd that we demand our high school students take 4 years of English, 3 of math, 2 of science, 2 of a foreign language...yet we neglect to teach them or demand from them basic courtesy and manners! So we graduate little Einsteins who won't hold doors, plagiarize without flinching, belch in public places and more! They grow up to be just the type of adults as you have so eloquently described!

Thank you for sharing that. I work in a nice hotel and people expect discounts for stupid things. One time a lady wanted a discount for having to wait in line for her contental breakfast. I want to copy a million copies of these and hand one to every single person who judges me or looks at me as if I were trash. I really needed that. Thank you thank you. You expressed my thoughts on stupid people.
