OMFG, this is my biggest pet peeve in the world. I really *ENJOY* doing nice things for people I like. But it slays me when it is unappreciated. I don't expect everyone I do something nice for to do something exactly equal to what I did for them or anything. Often someone I do a favor for would almost by definition be in a different position from the one I am in.
But I hate feeling chumped and, if someone can not be bothered to say thanks and show appreciation, I feel like they think they were taking advantage, instead of me just being nice. So I might have done something just in the spirit of giving, but a lack of a simple genuine thank you makes me sort of retroactively feel differently from how I did at the time.
