People who don't say thank you....

[happythoughts 0]

Couple of things:

1. She did say thank you.
2. You may have made her feel awkward that you a. gave her something so expensive and she can't reciprocate, or b. noticed her skin condition.
3. You may have given her something she can't use because of perfumes or other ingredients, and she didn't want to tell you, and you made it worse by pushing the issue.

4. He's been weird and "stalky" for a while now.
He keeps hanging around women half his age and
making them feel uncomfortable by doing inappropriate things.

She keeps working the phrase "my boyfriend" into
every conversation and he keeps missing the most
subtle hint.

Or just maybe she hangs out on dz.com and has read your posts ....

Naw, she would've kneed him in the nuts and run away screaming.

Shah, buddy, sometimes you act like one of those "over educated special people." What you did was a nice thing, but she could be shy or embarrassed about a dozen things. Just let it slide and continue to be polite to her. Some people are gregarious by nature; others take a while to warm up to others. So ease off and use some of that Persian charm.

"What does he mean by 'small circles' ?"

Let's say I think you're kind of fat, so out of the blue I bring you some diet pills that my brother sells. How would you feel about my kind gesture? I mean, I'm only trying to help you and make your life better.

Bottom line: you insulted her.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 5 gallon jug of Nair.

Oh for that you need to call in a professional

Oh, that's a Bush massage. I've heard of those.

It's just you!

Sorry man, but you made an observation of someone and acted on it and now expect ... what? A blowjob for your regifted kindness?

If you guys had a discussion about this GREAT lotion you receive and she was eager to try it for her dry hands then that would be one thing... but basically you embarrased her and are now calling her rude because she didn't think your 'act of kindness' (read: total superficial, judgmental rudeness) was worthy of an embrace thanking you for coming to her rescue!

wear pants next time you give up the lotion.

if you act in real life the way you do here, she's creeped out by you and anything nice you do for her is going to make her feel uncomfortable.

That was my guess, too. I was going to phrase it: "4. She thought you were hitting on her (God knows why), and wanted to discourage it (God knows why)", but you did fine.

I think people are also right about her being embarrassed/insulted. We have a good friend who is an overweight woman. She tells the story of how an in-law of hers once paid her a lovely compliment: "You hardly sweat at all for a fat girl."

I'll bet she mumbled "thank you" out of a feeling of obligation (which was a huge stretch for her), but in reality, she probably just doesn't like you.

I guess some times I confuse "people" with "DZ people".
I see a some one at the DZ having a problem with...fill in the blank....or is in need of fill in the blank....and I have it. I just give it away and always get a thank you, because DZ people are just that cool.

Be it soda, lunch, help with carrying stuff to or from the car....what ever.
Remember that post I made about how it would be nice if every one was a sky diver? Well it's like that.

And you are all right. she is a nice girl, for an engineer she's good looking, and so gets hit on non stop by very one, i've known her for about a year and have even been on travel with her and she's discussed how her work causes dry skin (chemicals are bad) so yeah me noticing it wasn't nice and i guess I could have just shut my mouth but not said a thing....but i didn't and tried to do something nice. But yes "expecting" a "thank you" was immature of me...she's not a sky diver...why should she? I'm sure in her eyes I'm just another dorky engineer with a bad hair cut.
Oh well, such is life!
From now on if i have anything I'll set it aside for my friends at the DZ.

Dude.... you expected a thank you, she thanked you. You then proceeded to send her a personal email at work. At that point in time she thinks you are hitting on her and doesn't reply.

So.... how many thanks you's do you expect?!

To be honest, I really didn't get a thank you when after our meeting when I handed her the bottle. I kind of got some sort of mumbled mess. Maybe my hearing isn't all there and maybe it was a thank you.
But you are right, some times I just have to deal with the fact that people are people. Some will say thank you and others will just mumble.
And such is life. Live and learn. Just be nice to your packer. Every one else can go pound salt.

Didn't we have a thread here that I started called post the pictures of the hot engineers? Didn't go far

Now the girls / women in business....now that I'm taking MBA classes! WOW! So friendly so nice and....out going!
Very cool gaggle of gals!

Maybe in time things will change.

Just a little
I really wanted to hear "Thanks Shah"
Not "mumble Shah"

You know what....I'm really making a mountain out of a moll hill. Yeah it would have been nice.....but you know what. I say thank you to every one and I try and be nice.
And that should be enough for me
As for the Bamboo Moisturizer from Lather, it's a little spendy but it's great stuff! If you ever stay at a Lows hotel bribe the hotel staff and grab a few extra bottles.

You are missing the point that the cool skydivers are telling you. You insulted her. If you said it to us, we would have been insulted also. Bringing someone some lunch or carrying stuff to the car is not the same as pointing out a physical problem that you think someone has and trying to fix it for them.

Maybe when you change your approach, your choice of words, and stop whining about why she doesn't feel that she owes her life to you for a bottle of f'ing lotion.
