Does anyone else blacklist individuals who don't say thank you?

I'm not sure if I have a problem saying thank you, but I definitely have problems with getting compliments. A lot of times I'll act as though it wasn't said.

I don't have problems getting compliments. But I noticed I do tend to brush people who have not said thank you out of my happy bubble. I dislike when people say sorry often by reflex.
Expressing thanks is a form of acknowledgment. Knowing you should do it is upbringing. Doing it is discipline and sometimes it takes guts. You may think the other person doesn't notice or doesn't mind - but that it is done, completes an exchange of goodwill and maintains relationships. It's like sex. Do you f*** like a pig or like a loving person? If you f*** like a pig, preferably it'll still help if you didn't walk around like a f***ing pig and thanked those who have helped along the way.
IMHO.

Does anyone else blacklist individuals who don't say thank you? YES. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I grab the door for someone in my building and they walk on through without saying thank you. After said incident(s), I usually just let it close on them. Oops.
