Slightly Miffed - Also, the F' Bomb. A lot.

I may be confused, but I thought it was still considered common courtesy to acknowledge when someone has given you a gift. I'm not necessary talking about some sort of gushing, OMG Just what I wanted, squee... but if someone you know spent time and effort to pick out a present for you, isn't it polite to at least let them know you received it if you can't be arsed to offer a generic "it's very nice, thank you"?

Yes, I am annoyed, thanks for noticing.

And yes, if it were up to me, next Christmas there would be a few less presents being sent out. Not because I think that we deserve gifts in return - because I'm actually one of those hobbity types who enjoys giving presents a tiny bit more than getting them - but because I think that Captain, at the very least, deserves the common courtesy of an acknowledgement for fuck's sake.

Two seconds for a fucking e-mail people. It's not that fucking hard.

In my head? There is much name calling. Oh yes. Much.

Sorry, I needed to vent because I've been about three seconds away from starting World War III for the last few days - which would make no one but me feel any better, so I've been trying to avoid that.

Edited to add that it would appear that my dear Captain is also guilty of the same thing. I suspect I know where he picked up this is nasty habit, and it is something I'm going to have to work to break him of.

But it will be broken, oh yes, it will.
