I go through this every time I walk in and out of my building. The worse is the crackhead, who holds the door all day for a tip... but wants a tip from everybody... all day.. no matter how many times they walked through. Fuck outta here.

First of all how far does someone have to be for you to not have to hold the door for them? 50ft? 100ft?

Then, don't they have a responsibility to hurry up now that you are standing there holding it. Some fuckers take their own sweet time. what the fuck is that? I want to slam the guys head in the door jam five or six times when he finally gets there and watch him bleed from his eyes.

Then again, I hate when some asshole decides he will do his one good deed of the day and hold a door for me when I'm 300ft away. Now, it's cold out and I feel a responsibility to run to the door so the fucking boyscout of the year doesn't have to stand there too long. Now, I'm not in the best shape of my life so I break a sweat and I'm breathing heavy while I try to pour my fucking coffee. All because Dudley do-right decided he'd save me the monumental struggle of opening a door.

The worst is when you exit a door realizing that there was a person not far behind you...so you now have to double step it so when they come out, they see that you were way too far to have had to hold the door for them so you do not appear rude. Who the fuck am I fooling? The door is glass, they can see.

Of course you can get yourself in trouble holding doors too. You hold a door for a guy and then the next five people hurry up to get in and you are magically transformed into the goddamn doorman at the Hilton. I hate that shit. I was holding it for one fucking guy! Not the entire New York Jets, you fuckers! Now you have to try to make eye contact with someone to pass the door off like a goddamn baton in a relay race. Of course everyone is in on the joke so they all look down at their feet. i feel like putting on white gloves and holding my hand out.

I need this shit first thing in the morning? that's it, no more door holding for me!
you don't really sound like a nice enough guy to be holding a door for someone in the first place. Why not just be honest with yourself and be the asshole you want to be? If anything, most people would probably be fortunate not to cross paths with you on any given day.

You got me thinking.
Then I realized because of the climate here in South America all the doors are open all the time. Woot!

I always hold the door open when the distance of the next person is reasonable. The only thing I find irritating is when they walk through without a thank you. But, that doesn't stop me from doing it again the next time.

I also get irritated when I let someone out of a side street when there is lined up traffic and I don't get a wave for doing so.

Those are my tiny irritations when traveling throughout the day.

I hold the door open for anyone I can. I make sure to hold the door open as long as possible as I walk thru too. It can put a smile on someone's face who might otherwise be having a bad day. Every little bit helps.

Mark the polite Canadian.

Doors & Elevators
 
I worked at place, where it seemed to be expected, to hold the door for anybody you could see. But as soon as you got on the elevator, they suddenly forgot who you were. You would say "hello," and they had nothing but evil in their eye.

50 dangers of holding a door for someone

Walking into 7-11 this morning for a quick cup of that goat piss they call coffee, and I walked right into another "door holding" annoyance...

You ever hold the door for someone who is on the other side of it because you see them heading right for you, and instead of walking through it, they open the door next to it? So now you look like an asshole standing next to the door, holding it open for...nobody?

Fuck that! I pretended there was an invisible friend I held it open for. "After you", I said and waived him on before walking through myself. A line of confused people stared as if they thought he was really there and they were the only ones who couldn't see him. I then patted my invisible friend on the shoulder and said, "you run back to the atm, i'll make the coffee." I made two cups, and after I paid, I held the door for him again on the way out...

As I held the door the second time and walked out, the resident homeless guy who sits in front of the place shouted "Now, he has the good shit!" :pimp

Still a great real life subject...
What do you do in the case of walking up to the door, you glance over and can see a women in perfect step with yours..do you speed up your pace to open it for her? Did this last weekend and got a huge smile:thumbsup

You shouldn't hold the door for anyone because their life will be better for not crossing paths with a guy who rants about chivalry and how it makes him want to slam a head in a door. The best thing you could do for a random stranger is to not interact with them.

Here's how I do it. If I have to think about holding the door. I don't.
