To have expected a response to a Welcome to Your New Home card

New neighbours moved in a month ago. The first day we, their immediate neighbours, dropped in a welcome to your new home card. Response? Zero.

AIBU to think it’s basic civility to say, at some point, “thank you for your card, hello we’re so-and-so”?

It’s not as though I want to hang over the garden fence and pry into their lives. I just think that if someone gives you a card it’s polite to acknowledge it.

Nuts. They don't know you (did you leave an address?)

Plus they might be pretty busy unpacking g/working etc

No - not rude at all

There's a million things could have happened.

One got it and forgot, it got lost in the move, it's been bundled up with old mail and is sitting somewhere...

Its not a big deal, you made a nice gesture, but moving is stressful and it's probably not high on their agenda.
