I don't let other men open doors for me, that's low T shit. OP get's mad because he opens the door for Alpha Chad's.

I hold the door open for others often. I do it for me as much as for them. I neither demand or expect a "thank you", but it is always nice to get.

They're rude, unless they've got something
very important to take care of, like a gunshot wound. Mute people get a pass. I rescued my overly polite foreign-born stepson when he first came to this country. He held a door open for the next person at the zoo, and a hundred people (not hyperbole) walked out while leaving him stuck there being a temporary door chock. I pulled him away because most people now are assholes. |

Am I the only one who will only go inside and reach out to hold the door until they get it at restaurants? I got fucked over too many times and let a table or 6-8 in before us and leaving us to wait an extra 20 minutes.... now leaving the restautant is a different story.
 The same could be said for allowing cars to merge or turn in front of me, 99% of the time I get fucked by a person going very slow. If you go out of your way for a stranger, they won't extend the same courtesy 100.87% of the time. |

A few days ago I took the wife to the Olive Garden for lunch. When we entered the restaurant, an elderly gentlemen held the door for us as we entered. I let my wife enter, but allowed the couple to to exit before me. Then I noticed that one of them used a walker. He mentioned that it's good to see that some of us still have manners. Need I say more?

90% of the time I hold it to avoid it closing on the next person. A REALLY busy opening will not have the issue and everyone just touches it perfunctorily and lightly to keep it open.

I had a woman apologize to me in the post office for not holding the door open for me. She apparently did not see me or hear me.

I must be the outlier here.
I would say at least 90% of folks (regardless of demographics) hold the door for others coming and going around here. I always hold the door and thank anyone that's holding for me. The handful of folks that don't acknowledge the courtesy doesn't bother me. It just tells me all I need to know about them without saying a word. |

Stop holding doors, it’s bad for security. Don't you know anything about piggybacking and tailgating? By not acknowledging it, they’re discouraging your bad behavior.
