19. I ALWAYS say thank you when I see people do that
I work at a grocery store but whether I'm working or not, I thank people for doing it. Kudos to you!

15. If anything it's that I make people laugh. No one ever says
"thanks for making me laugh."

And I don't care. :)

23. Yeah, well. I think it's really because they're laughing out of fear.
"WTF is that crazy chick talking about? God... get me outta here... just back away and keep laughing..."

26. You shouldn't expect thanks
Just do the good things and good things will happen to you.

Even a smile and a "Good morning".
Works wonders

28. But I want thanks. I want to be recognized for my good deeds. I want others to rally around me and
celebrate those things that I do that bring joy and comfort to their less than satisfying little lives.

29. Yes. I award students millions of financial aid dollars, and it's rare that I get a thank-you.
