To expect a thank you

[Thankyouu]

I live overseas and two friends from home have recently had birthdays - sent one flowers and one a small gift. I could track the delivery of both so knew they’d been delivered but didn’t get an acknowledgment or thank you until I followed up to ‘check’ they’d got them between 1-2 days later.

If someone sends me something I message to say thank you as soon as I get it!

Possibly expecting too much to do happy to be told IABU.

My mum was upset my brother didn’t say thank you for a gift she gave his son in fact I give out lots of gifts and don’t really get thank yous..I always say thank you myself though
It’s just some peoples way

You didn’t give them long enough before you prompted. Just because you respond immediately doesn’t mean everyone has to.

I sent a friend a get well card after I found she'd been in hospital for a gruelling operation (I only found out via social media)
I got a lovely message from her a few days later. Your friends are a bit rude
