I worked very hard on some of my wedding projects as we all have and all I get is 'can I have' and 'gimme' without even a 'Thanks'.
This does not apply to all of them of course, but it seems like lately it has been happening.
I don't mind sharing, but I think it's a bit rude. Has this happen to you????

Re: I have a 08ers/09ers vent!!!!!!
I am so sorry to hear about this. This has not happen to me. I usually get a fourm mail with a nicely written post with a question that needs to be answered which I gladly answer and am happy inside that they came to me. Again, I am sorry to hear about this. That is very thoughtless.
Here are some well deserved hugs

I get many FMs for things and nothing!!!
I don't expect a Thank You for every reply, but when I go out of my way to send directions or templates---that aggravates me!!!
Thanks

I understand-I have posted this as a peeve before. I gladly share what I have, and help anyone and everyone who aks if I can, but if we have never 'met' before, at least premise your email with
'Hi,my name is' or at least sign your name at the bottom. Dont just say. 'I heard you got templates. send them to me at this address please. '
Common courtesy people. Even if you use your username, SIGN the dang thing If I dont know you. Its just manners,

Jenn, Did I thank you for the photograph that you created for Michael and I when we were NOTW? If we did not; we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are usually very good with out thank yous but sometimes we forget. I just wanted you to know that.

So sorry you have to deal with this. If you go out of your way to answer questions for people and send them helpful info then yes every reply deserves a thank you.
I've heard many girls complain about this. I think it has happened to me once or twice too and it is frustrating
sorry i crashed your board but i was looking to see if everlovingev was on because i actually want to ask her a question about something hahaha

Yes, I've encountered a couple of those, which are irritating. But most of the FM requests I've received have been polite, thankfully. Most of the FMs I've received are vendor inquiries. I'll just copy and paste previous Sent messages, so I only have to do the work of composing thorough messages once.

Awww this is upsetting, I'm sorry... I've only had a small percentage like that, but JennBeagle your wedding was SOOOOO beautiful its bound to draw attention from a few who just dont get it... And you are so nice to share your 'stuff'... Tacky people S*CK!!
My mom would kick my @ss if I didn't say PLEASE or THANK YOU, i swear I knew those words before my own name, and I know most of the girls on here are the same. So the rudies stand out because they are the minority, thank goodness!!!

Welcome to the other side, apparently the thankless side.
Sad but true, and I hate to say it but some of your very own 07ers did the same thing.
Kind of why so many brides get fed up and move over to LIF. Not that there isn't any rudeness over there....

Re: I have a 08ers/09ers vent!!!!!!
I can totally relate. I was always so grateful whenever an 06 bride would answer my questions. You know what's crazy? I have not received a thank you from the past FOUR '08 brides that have FM'ed me questions.

I hate to say it but this happened to me with a few 07ers as well....
For the most part it's been nothing but though.

Re: I have a 08ers/09ers vent!!!!!!
I've gotten a lot of the same!
And some girls were ranting on their boards about my not responding to their FMs that they sent when I was on my Honeymoon ... and then came home & could barely sit up for a 1/2 hour at a time b/c of severe pain.
I sent them back a long FM with an explanation and the info they were looking for ... and no response!!
Also, my other pet peeve is people who have apparently looked at my review just for the pics & then asked questions about things I took the time to write about in the review or show pics of. Why did I bother putting any words in the review then?!!

ITA! If I get one more forum mail about who my photographer was or where I got my HP Im going to lose it. ITS IN MY REVIEW and in my profile!!!!
And the thank you thing....I would just send a follow up FM saying 'oh and you are welcome too!'

Not you Honey!!!!!! Never you!
I was referring to people tjhat I never talk to-like not on the boards or anything. All the 07 girls who are regulars like you I dont care. I know who you are, you respond to my posts. I was referring more to people who come out of the woodwork ONLY to ask for things and dont even say 'Hey!'. Not you baby!

Re: I have a 08ers/09ers vent!!!!!!
I have such a problem with ungrateful people!!! As an 07er, I fm'd a few 06ers AND 07ers for help and made sure to thank EVERY single one of them!
