3 most important rules of the thank you note

TIME assets that the thank-you note is not dead.

No duh.

That said, quite a few people are small-minded and idiotic about thank-you notes.

Here are three simple rules to remember at all times.

1. The heartfelt thank you note is a beautiful thing.
2. The expectation of a thank-you note is petty and stupid.
3. Gossiping about the absence of an expected thank-you note is vile and thoroughly disgusting.

This is not the first time I have written about the tyranny of the thank-you note.
