I was about 20ft from the door and she held the door open for me for a long time as I walked toward her.  I thanked her profusely and then went on with my business.  First time that's ever happened to me.  What the hell is up with that?  



that was just a very subtle way of calling you a bitch.

i have to admit that was probably the most likely answer, and this is coming from a woman.

Idea, carry a heavy package everywhere so women might open the door for me so I can use it to start conversation.


Hmm time to fill up a big box with 45 ammo.

How long had you been following her?  She has a good description now!  Have they come for you yet?

Man, that always bugged me, I hold doors open for people, assuming they're in range, no matter what sex. or age, allthough I might make exceptions for mimes.

Most women don't even bother to look behind them to see if there's anybody just a yard or two back, all they have to do is push the door a little further so I can catch it, but NoooOOOO.

<grumble grumble>

Phil makes a great observation.  I hold the door for anyone who is near.  I always smile and look them in the eyes.  The only people who don't say thank you are some women.  People now get the door for me.  I am looking my age and I am enjoying the heckouttavit too.

Reminds me, (beware war story-sorta)...
I was on R&R, in Syndey, and I had always heard that the 'Aussies' were serious about their drinking, so it was a Sunday morning and I heads to the nearest tavern.  It's 9am and there was a gaggel of females waiting for the place to open, all standing by the door.  When I turned up the walkway, the place had just opened it's doors, but those ladies, seeing me approaching, made a opening, and the one nearest the door, opened it and waited for me to enter first.  Man, that was something.  I sure enjoyed the feeling.
Yes, I did feel it was my duty to buy every one them a beaverage.  They were sure  nice.
Some may say that those 'aussie' ladies saw an  'easy-mark', (young GI), that morning.  But my memory, doesn't remember it that way.
34 years ago, and it still makes me smile.

Ah man!

She was giving you unspoken line of, "You want to eat some pie with me?  I like banana cream filled."

you missed out I guess.

Bummer!

I have it happen all of the time.  Of course, I just turned 76 yesterday, so that probably has something to do with it.z

I held the door for this woman one time.  She said, "I hope you're not holding that door because I'm a WOMAN!"

"No ma'am - its because of your age."


 

I like that one.

You're supposed to tell her, "you would make a nice servant."  Play it by ear from there.

Why go to all that bother?  Why not just carry a big empty package?  You're not obligated to share its contents..........

Treachery and experience will  defeat youthful exuberance every time.
