Welcome to my world! The only thing I've found to help when my expression of appreciation is rebuffed is to say, "If you choose not to accept my appreciation, that's out of my control. However, it's inappropriate for you to judge my intention in saying it. Either say, 'Thank you' or ignore it, please."
