Ungrateful neighbour

I had around £20 worth of dog biscuits and treats that my dog isn't able to consume anymore.

My neighbour has 2 dogs and I asked her if she wanted them and I told her I would drop them later (was taking DC out).

I left the bags by her front door and she took the bags when she got back.

She hasn't even said "thank you", if someone gives me something I will always say thank you and show appreciation.

I have seen her and her husband a few times and they haven't even said "hello" or "thank you".

Is it me or is this just bad manners?

It is bad manners. I would have gone out of my way to thank you and perhaps brought you a little something like some eggs from my hens or a plant I'd grown.

People can be so miserable. I once found a cat trapped by his collar. He'd obviously been there a while and was in a terrible state poor thing. I drove him the seven miles to the nearest vet - it was my vet and I'd rung ahead, she'd kindly stayed late to see him. She checked his chip and found out he belonged to someone about a 10 minute walk from my house. The cat was treated and the vet drove the cat home where her son took the cat in (another 14 mile round trip). Neither I or the vet ever heard from the owner. Not one word of thanks.

Life is too short to spend waiting for thank yous. You gave her something you didn’t need, which reduced waste, but it wasn’t a huge deal.

Sorry typo at the time she said "If you don't mind" when I said I would leave them by the door when I got back.

No, she just said "if you don't bring them round".

Surely she thanked you at the time of offering ?

But didn’t she say thanks at the time when you offered and she accepted?
