Have you encouter a person who don't say thank you?

A lot of people seems to be doing this to me for the last few years. I usually have no qualms on helping people or doing favors for them if I am capable but many of them don't say 'thank you' or be civil enough to let me know that they appreciated my work or my effort. They think that they are entitled to what other people has done to them, so they don't even feel that a word or two could make a difference. As much as I would want to them to say 'thank you' to me, I can't force them to or the the meaning of the words will be lost. At every instance that it happens to me, I would like to think that I did something good without being asked and I did something for other people. For me, it's already satisfaction that I have done something, instead of nothing. I guess the most people today are getting more self-centered than ever but somehow I don't blame' them. People will always act on their own interest before others even if others do their best to help other people without thanks.

I think those people don't have the spirits of courtesy in their bones. I would actually remind those people that I owe a simple thank you for my help.

There are lots of people who belong to this category. There are several factors why people are ungrateful. One thing is.. the way they were trained when they were young. If their parents and the people around them used to say thank you for everything they will receive, this will be implanted in the minds of the young and when they were old, they will always do it. If the environment they grow up are full of people who always say thank you, this will become an instinct to the young minds and wherever they will be in the world, this attitude are already built inside them. Therefore, it is the duty of all parents to cultivate this virtue to their kids and when this will become a habit to them even when they are old.

Yes i did. And i can't believe that there is someone who can't even say those two words. I am easy to please, just a simple thank you will really go a long way for me. I associate it with breeding or upbringing. If someone don't know how to say thank you all else follows.
