Wrong to say Thanks ?

As my friends daughter took me to Hospital last week and they both stayed with me while I was checked,, then brought me home, I decided to buy them both a plant each, but my friend seems to be a bit annoyed/ offended that Ive done this,and Im wondering if I should have done so

Not at all. It merely shows appreciation to two people for a kind act.

Deylon I cant even begin to imagine why your friend was annoyed or offended by you buying them a plant...there really is nowt as strange as folk...

I wouldnt give it another thought if I were you ....you did a very kind gesture of thanks and thats all there was to it ,if your friend couldnt accept that then Im at a loss for you

I can't see why she was offended ... except possibly because she thought no thanks were necessary?

I think you made a kind, thoughtful gesture .. to reciprocate the kindness you felt you had received from them.

Completely agree with Aysa. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Re: Wrong to say Thanks ?

How can it possibly be wrong to thank someone for a kind act. Very strange reaction.

Maybe they wanted petrol money or a mention in your Will.

I would be grateful and appreciate your 'thank you'

Nothing stranger than folk.

Possibly it was borne out of embarrassment, and I am sure they both appreciated your very kind gesture.

Re: Wrong to say Thanks ?

It's nice to show appreciation for acts of kindness.
I would have done the same as you Deylon.
