I know someone like that. Saying "Thank you" for the meal or drink is an alien concept to him.

Real friends don't buy friends something and expect something else in return. Thanks or not.

If they are casual friends, thanks are in order.

True, but even if a good friend bought me dinner I would still say Thank You.

I was raised well I guess. LOL

But to take a few people out to dinner and not a single person says thanks? Fuck those idiots, never again is what I would say. Hope you wrote the dinner off as a biz expense at least.

[lakerslive]

yeah..i cant believe its bothering even until now..lol

[lakerslive]

should i text these assholes and say "thanks for coming"?

[lakerslive]

just did..i texted one of em and said "remind so and so to say thanks whenever someone take em out or buys em a drink"

[SekobA]

If you pay for them very offten they sure are used to it so its normal do not thank you

[lakerslive]

i dont pay for the them often

Even if a real friend don't think it's too much trouble for someone to say a quick thanks, not like you're asking them to swallow your balls for the meal.

Add Sly to your "Don't take out to dinner rude list" and save da heartache later.

[lakerslive]

so, a REALLY good friend of yours buys you a drink at the bar, u just drink it and leave?

[dyna mo]

Do you actually have any friends?

[Spunky]

It's just common manners to thank somebody.I wouldn't do it again

I buy the next time. It's a trade.

I buy drinks and dinners regularly. Never expect a thank you. Don't care if I get one. I buy because I want to treat them.

[lakerslive]

so, someone just paid for your hospital bill of 1 million dollars. U just get up and leave. lol

[BlackCrayon]

personally i wouldn't want a friend to buy me dinner or whatever. i pay my own way and expect others to do the same.

[lakerslive]

so, someone just donated their kidney to you. Fuck em, just another regular day, get up and leave

[lakerslive]

just shows u the kind of subhumans on this forum

Is that what you did?

Look, I say thank you. I don't expect it from others. I buy gifts, dinner, drinks, whatever for other people simply because I want to and I want them to have a nice time. If someone buys me a drink, I return the favor the next time. Same with dinner, so on and so forth.

I don't keep score and I don't cry about so and so not thanking me. I certainly don't play passive aggressive and tell another friend to remind so-and-so that they should have said thank you.

It sounds like these are casual friends that you might not see often. They should have said thank you, they did not. Don't cry about it, just don't do it again. Save your money for people that care about you the same as you care for them.

[dyna mo]

when i do something like this, i make sure i don't have expectations, no strings attached. however, how people move from acquantaince to friend in my life is by their acting respectfully to me and around me, subsequently, my friends say thank you.

First you cry because somebody doesn't say thank you. Now you cry because somebody doesn't agree with you.

You seem to want an award for buying someone dinner. If your money is that precious to you, don't buy someone dinner.

[lakerslive]

its equivalent to someone not saying "good bye, i'm leaving" after they just met you.

[lakerslive]

i dont need an award u idiot. just saying, have manners.

[lakerslive]

so, heres another example for u moron.

U just had dinner with friends and family. U just get up from the table and leave and not say "good bye"

[Sly]

I thought it was equivalent to not saying thanks for a kidney?

So confused. Should I thank you for this new knowledge you are showering me with?

[lakerslive]

so, heres another example for u moron.

[Sly]

I'm going to a barbecue tonight. Going to take a few sixpacks.

Which party should say thank you? And if we both say thank you, does it have the same effect? What if I say thank you for the barbecue and nobody says thank you for the beer, should I report back?

Is it okay to say "later" instead of "goodbye?"

[TheSquealer]

Sounds like someone is realizing he has no friends

[lakerslive]

sly is obviously stupid

At least Sly has friends.

next time, don't ask a question at gfy, since you can't take the answers.

[lakerslive]

its more like the other way around. How people with no manners dont want to learn manners

[dyna mo]

thank you for the thread.

[Sly]

I want to thank you, for calling me stupid, an idiot, and a moron. I would hate for you to think I have bad manners and not thank you for your wonderful comments.

Did you learn manners? Or that he has no friends?

[Sly]

That's not very polite.

I take back my thank you.

I'm not even going to say goodbye!

[lakerslive]

ive certainly learned some people have no manners

[Sly]

Did you at least supersize their meal? If not, that's poor manners on your part.

[The Porn Nerd]

Actually text your 'friends' with this:

"Hey you owe me $22.50 for dinner last night' (or whatever the cost was). When they text you back with 'wtf?' go: 'Well, I only pay for dinner for my grateful friends. Since you didn't say 'thank you' I assume we were splitting the bill. Sorry, my bad.'

That should send a clear message for next time. LOL

(And PS: You can't really complain about people with bad manners when you call Sly an idiot and moron, now can you? Just sayin'.)

That was before I read this thread and learned proper manners.

They dont thank you because they dont respect you. Youre that one loser friend where people expect you to pay or else you wouldnt be there in the first place.

To me its a wash. Did you tell them "thank you for allowing me to take time off from my miserable little life". Probably not. So stop whining.
