frustration

I'm frustrated again. This seems to be a recurring theme for situations where I have no control. What is it with people not having the decency, courtesy of saying 'thank you'. I gave 2 donations to the 3day breast cancer walk for 2 firefighters that I met during the walk. I never got an acknowledgment of any sort for either one of them. Then I donated to a friend who biked in a race benefiting MS. No thank you at all. What are people thinking? I find it very rude. At least a quick email 'thank you' would have been nice.

Then another source of frustration is when an email is sent that clearly asks for a reply and none is given. I take that personally, as though what I asked about doesn't matter and that I am not relevant or important enough. If I had called that same person on the phone and asked them the questions I did in an email would they sit in silence? That's in effect what they are doing by not replying. Pisses me off.
