Miss Manners Question

Miss Manners Question: Why do some people who receive gifts never say thank you and yet, people still give gifts to these people.

Miss Manners Answer: People who don't say thank you are rude and why they keep receiving gifts is beyond Miss Manners understanding.

My Answer: Some of us believe a gift with strings attached is not a gift at all. And some of us give to the ungrateful simply cause giving is "from the heart" or simply "from obligation". I tend to include all of a group (coworkers, relatives, friends, etc.) and not pick and choose from the pool of people who say Thank You when making my gift/card list every year.
