vanya Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I have a friend I have known for a year. An older man from down south. My father and I own a caravan at Flamborough and this man has just had three nights in it as a friend we asked no money. He texted me and said could he eat the kit kats in the fridge he would replace them . He popped into our house Friday and dropped the keys off asked twice if he could stay over again. Never said thankyou. I discussed it with dad and we agreed he must have left a thankyou note and replacement kit kats. hes texted since and still not said thanks. So when I went to the caravan it was clean and tidy but no kitkats and no note. I think this is terrible and dad agrees. He is a lonely older retired man but he drove the 200 miles so still capable. Should I feel guilty if I cut ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerousedd Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 well he did ask before he scoffed the kit kats, maybe being elderly he just forgot to replace them? well if he was my friend I wouldn't ditch him over a few kit kats but its up to you.

vanya Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 He had three days and nights in our holiday home. Why would someone not say thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 And they say the younger generation lack manners . Any one decent would have bought you and your father a token gift , maybe flowers or a bottle if no money changed hands . A thank you would have cost nothing and I would have thought been said as a natural instinct . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 You should definitely feel guilty. It's common knowledge that older folks prefer Twix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He surely said thank you when he was offered the caravan, maybe if you had said 'did you enjoy your stay' he would have thanked you then. Anyway, I wouldn't make a habit of offering the caravan to the same person....er where exactly is it, ah Flamborough:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogg Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I would not be too bothered about the thanks or the kit kats if you like the bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
