Would you help a stranger if you knew they wouldn't thank you?

Exactly, because it’s in your make up, as it’s in you both,if you get my meaning.

Precisely, which still leads to a ‘yes.’ … Lol

I cut next doors grass out the front, its just as easy whilst doing mine, I get thanks and it pee’s me off, I don’t do it for that.

The other day we offered to help an elderly gentleman with a flat tire. We didn’t care if he thanked us but he did and with much gratitude

Bratti, you really need to excuse yourself from this thread

You’re Canadian! The entire planet knows you folks are extremely polite and helpful!

And to be brutally honest, I’m a bit ‘petty’ in this department ( at times ) If I’ve gone out of my way to do something for someone, I do at times get a bit ticked off if gratitude isn’t shown however it doesn’t stop me from doing other good deeds for others.

I think most people say thanks if someone helps or does a favour. .

That was hilarious. Ha! That’s so very Canadian. We are constantly apologizing too. lol

Of course…
You don’t help people because you expect to be thanked…

Hell no! I wouldn’t help anyone as a matter of principle! (Well maybe —)

I would help out whether I got thanked or not, and it has made me feel better because I knew I did a good thing. What I don’t understand is this recent trend of people trying to track down others who have helped them, via social media. I know its nice to want to thank someone…but I find thanking anyone via social media a bit cringeworthy.
