a bit of annoyance

[pigwithwings11.livejournal.com]

As I have been searching around trying to find wishes to grant, i have left my e-mail in a number of lj comments to get back to me with their address or specifications to grant a wish. upon the users reply all I get is an address, no "hi", no "thank you", no "happy holiday", nothing but an address. and i really feel it is rude to respond to soemone who is beign generous to you in that way. not only does it get hard to keep track after granting so many wishes, of who asked for waht, but it makes a person feel taken advantage of when no sign of gratitude is given. so people, when someone offers to grant your wish in exchange for your address in an email, be civil, gracious and friendly, and remember that they don't have to so this. Even a card or a hi from a stranger is something to be happy about, tis the season SO BE JOLLY!

thats sad :(
Every person except 1 has included a note and seemed very nice in their emails to me.

I agree that part of being grateful to have wishes granted is to be gracious to the sender. I try to remember to add both thanks and holiday wishes to the emails I send and respond to.

I received my first surprise gift today and was so happy I was about to burst!

Hopefully your message will remind people to be a bit more gracious.

Merry Christmas!

I always have said hi and thank you to the people who want to grant my wishes, in addition to the information they wanted. :)

Thank you! I think that needed to be said! :)

Happy holidays, BTW. ;)

If I remember correctly, I gave some kind of greeting whenever I'd leave my address, and everyone else did the same with me, too.

I received two nothing-but-address responses and I felt really bad about them. I didn't even want to send them anything anymore. :( (But I did.) Call it egoism or whatever, but since I ask for nothing in return I want some emotion. I don't owe those people anything. I always love happy-happy-joy-joy responses but I realize not all people are outgoing like this. So just "thanks" would be at least something. :)

I totally agree. People should show a little more gratitude and respect.

Hi! Thank you! I hadn't even thought about that, but that's a good point.

Not sure I was one of those or not

But it's a 'I forgot with the addy'...

I've been doing these really late at night...
And I forget.
