When a friend helps you with something, whatever project it may be, do you say "Thank you."? Or vise-versa, if you help a friend and they say "Thank you" do you say "You're welcome."? Even if your friend can't give you the best of help, you should still say "Thanks for helping" anways. Most people who practice common courtesy only expect this of themselves and others.
But many people, including some of the people I know, have no sense of this rule!
When I do something wrong, I don't always expect someone to accept my appology, but I do AT LEAST say that I'm sorry. Many people these days don't do that if they make a mistake.


Even on DA, I do try to reply to everyones comments, and thank people for their favorites on my work. I do appriciate them. I completely understand why you wouldn't do this, though, if you you're getting 100 comments and favorites today. It's impossible to reply to ALL of them.

But, honestly.
People should be more appriciative of other people.




What has happened to basic courtesy? When did we become so concerned with ourselves that we stopped caring about how our actions impacted others? I don’t claim to know what’s going on in society today, but I do know that there has been a significant change in attitude as I have grown older. A casual wave to a neighbor used to result in a return wave and a hello. Now it often results in a strange stare as people wonder what you are up to. A door held for a woman used to be greeted with a sincere thank you. Now, many women don’t even seem to notice that anyone is there. Society is in a hurry and few people are slowing down long enough to enjoy life, be considerate of others, and spread a little bit of goodwill.
