It only takes a couple of seconds to type the words "thank you", right? Something that's bugged me for a while is when people don't bother to respond to feedback they've been sent or left ~ this could be for a music video, icons, help with links, whatever. If someone takes the time to leave/send feedback on something, or help out in some way, it's common courtesy to say thank you or acknowledge the feedback/help. Now, I know some people get large amounts of feedback, but like I say, just typing two words (ie: thank you) isn't exactly going to take very long, is it?
For a while it's bugged me in relation to feedback I've left people that's not even been acknowledged and help that I've given/offered, but just lately I've spent a helluva long time helping many different people by uploading all kinds of stuff, across various fandoms, sharing links, etc, and whilst most of the recipients have been fantastic in thier response, a small few don't even bother with an acknowledgment .... or worse still, skip the "thanks" part and go straight to the "now I want" part (and yes, there is someone who has done this more than once to me recently). And it really pisses me off. As most of you know, I really like helping people out and will go out of my way a lot of the time to do what I can, and I will continue to do this. But those people who've pushed me to actually voice this ~ no more. I won't even bother naming them, they are only a very few, but next time they email me for help, or I see them requesting help, I will just skip past it. Meh. See now that makes me feel mean. Meh.
I suppose I can sort of relate to this - it's bothering :/
