Time and Money

People do nice things for each other all of the time, but sometimes, the recipients of these good deeds fail to say thank-you or express any gratitude whatsoever. It is almost as if the act was expected instead of appreciated. Unfortunately, this happens a lot, and though the person that did the nice thing might not say anything when greeted with the lack of appreciation, he or she may begin to feel used or as if the other person doesn’t really respect him or her.

She opened the door, pulled the clothes out, and set them on top of the dryer.
