If I hold the door open for you

[ThatGuy]

100% agree with this rant. I always make a point to say thanks, and unless the person behind me is too far away, I try to hold the door whenever possible.

[Fat Strat]

Just say thank you. Or just thanks. Maybe just a smile. Something. Don't just walk through, avoid eye contact and act like I was supposed to do that for you.

Thanks

What I REALLY REALLY hate is when you hold the door open for someone and they give you the "I can get the door for myself" look. Just yesterday there was a lady carrying a toddler and a bag and about walking toward the door. I opened it and held it open and she just glared at me. That I don't understand.

I like when you're walking up to a whole bank of doors and you hold for someone and they blatantly pick a different door on their own. Hey, eff you, buddy!

I'd like to offer a rant corollary:

When you're walking not far behind someone, and they know you're behind them, and they go through a door that is closing and let it slam on you.

Another situation I hate is when I'm just far enough behind someone and they want to hold the door for me, causing me to have to run/jog up to the door since I don't want them to be holding the door forever.

What about when a card key is required to get through the door? Jog vs. the PITA of pulling out your key...

Definitely jog.

Yeah, but if I stop to hold the door for you and you continue to take your sweet time...I hate you.

The same with people who you allow to cross in front of you on a parking lot. Hurry it up, and cross in a staight line. Don't walk down the middle of the lane. And a wave would be nice.

Thanks

I must admit that at least once I have uttered a sarcastic "you're welcome" on such occasions where my sacrifice was not recognized and acknowledged.

I could get fired for holding the door open, company policy states the person must use their card key to get in, and if you let someone in without using their card you can be fired.
I hate this f***** place.

This happened to me last night. I was holding the door open for someone I know, not well obviously but still know her, and she didn't even aknowlege my presence, just kept walking. what's up with that? I suddenly think less of her.
