To expect a thank you?

[Happiestwhen]

Two separate people. One my work colleague, other dhs. Gave my work colleague 2 big bags of clothes, only the good ones from Next and similar (the rest were put in charity bin) Left at work for her to pick up. Picked up on day I was off (she was on mat leave) No thank you message or in person when I saw her and baby.

Dh work colleague - gave good clothes and bouncer, moses basket and a few more bits. No thank you either.

If I were in that situation I would be so grateful. We could have sold them but thought it would be nice to pass them on.

Has gratitude gone out the window?

I think it is rude to not say thank you.

We talk about being kind yet saying thanks is seens a stretch/unnecessary for many.

@Happiestwhen when you offered the clothing was the reaction “yes please” or was it something along the lines of “oh that would be wonderful thank you ever so much”

And then I’m dropping off the bag where were the words thank you so much uttered at all??

Can you clarify this?

They haven't basically done her a favour. She could have sold the clothes, made some money.
