Good questions, and great points made in replies! I have heard of people thanking for the “bad” things people do, ALTHOUGH not straight after, every time. I would think that if somebody WOULD do like you say, it’s hardly likely for it to be a genuine appreciation, and therefore doesn’t seem straight to me. Unless it’s an older person whose worked on him/herself a lot through the years to reach there, it doesn’t seem realistic for it to be “real”.
