THANKS - AND THANKS FOR NOTHING

Expectation breeds resentment. chaz- you seem to forget that it's not a demand of payment to ask for a simple "thank you". that's common decency. That's like offering someone half your sandwich and they take it, eat it and walk away. Helen isn't asking for any payment. she's asking for THANKS and confirmation that they RECEIVED their seeds! geeze. I know you were raised better than to think this! sigh......... madgardener who appreciates any seed, root, tuber, bulb or division from anyone who sends them to her--------------- Lest anyone get the idea from my previous message, I don't really blame Helen for getting upset; I remember how ****ed I was when I exchanged some aquatic plants with someone on rec.aquaria.frshwater.plants and they stiffed me. I picked out my very best extra java ferns and wrapped them carefully and sent them priority mail. I don't remember what kind of plants I was supposed to get in return, but I never heard back from the guy. I sent him an email to see if they had arrived OK, and he said they were great. And he never sent me anything. I sent a reminder email a few weeks later and he never replied. I was only out a couple of dollars for the postage, but I *really* felt hurt and angry about being taken advantage of. Maybe he sent them and they got lost in the mail. I tend to believe that a certain [large] percentage people are just assholes, and I don't do exchanges anymore unless I'm OK with getting nothing back. Best regards, Bob |
