The 50-ish guy behind me did, and tapped one of the girls on the shoulder to politely tell her she had dropped something. To be fair to the guy, the dropped item was in such a place that to bend down and stick a hand there to pick it up would have been obtrusive.
The girls, in their late teens or early 20s, continued talking to each other, while one bent down and picked it up.
Not so much as an acknowledgment to the man. No smile. No nod. And definitely no thank-you.
Hooo-oly crap.
I turned the man and said... "Let me just say this on their behalf: Thank-you."
He smiled at me and said, "Ahhh, it doesn't even matter. I don't even expect it anymore."
You know what's worse than people not having manners? Someone losing faith that people will actually have manners.
I hate people who don't say thank-you.
