The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed onesizefitsall message.My roommate realized I didnt receive a thankyou note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out.I didnt know she had done this until later.The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didnt even address the notes themselves！)It was accompanied by a picture of the thankyou note, which was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their need and didnt get a second thought.I have not responded to her text message.Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over?
