I open the door open if a.) she is hot and b.) I haven't yet seen her naked yet
Other than that I'm a feminist and expect them to open doors for me. |

Used to, but I figured since they have arms and legs they'll be okay opening it themselves. I've only done it when they are carrying a bunch of stuff so I help them out. I've seen my friend go off on her bf for not opening the door for her--safe to say it was one of many red flags.

I don't typically do it UNLESS:
1) They clearly need help: injured, occupied hands, or something else. 2) They've got long nails and/or lots of wrist accessories and/or rings 3) They've got a short short dress on. Just trying to avoid the world to see things they shouldn't be seeing. |

I'm not forcing anyone to play games. How am I escalating a situation? If you weren't expecting it and didn't ask me to hold it open for you, or if it offends you, why should you get pissed if I didn't hold the door a second time? What pisses me off is the lack of manners and common courtesy. I am polite and courteous to everyone I encounter every single day. The vast majority of people are appreciative. There are always the few. EDIT: And for the record, I hold doors for everyone - male, female, old, young. And I am a female. Most times those not saying thank you, are also female.

Agreed. I try and live to MY standard - not anyone elses. If I choose to hold the door for people because I believe it is polite, then I know some will be aholes and not be polite back. Someone not acknowledging it can irk me a little, but again they didn't ask for it. What really gets me is when I hold it for a female (I am male) and they give you that look like you just asked them for their phone number. THAT irritates me. Look guttersnipe - no one wants what you got, so cool off. I held it for the 600 pound guy behind you too. I always say thank you and if it is someone under 25 or a child - I go extra out of my way to say thank you to reinforce a behavior that I think is dying. Thank you for keeping it alive as well - common courtesy is definitely on the decline.

Today was an excellent example of a woman not once, but twice opening the door for me. As I approach the card access, the dispatcher presses the button to let me in. It takes about 7 seconds to walk from the front door to the door into the dispatch center. I stick my head in and say Thank You.
Then I go out the back door, across the parking lot, and she proceeds to open the exterior gate for me. I look into the camera and sign her Thank You again. On opening car doors, ESPECIALLY if it's my car, and the wind is blowing . . . |

Yes you are, you expect a certain outcome and if they dont oblige, its their fault and shame on them, they will feel your wrath. THIS can escalate the situation.. if you think im wrong so be it, but if you find yourself on the wrong side of town, cant say i didn't tell you so. To be honest, i dont see why 4 people appreciated your post, but maybe its because you're a woman on a male dominant forum? I dont know, just an observation. For the record, i hold doors as well, but you're kind of coming off as a Karen to me TBH. No offense. |

I treat everyone with respect but expect it in return. For what it’s worth, I was posting on this forum for over 4 years before anyone knew I was woman. I don’t flaunt it, I thought it was relative. You think I’m a Karen, knock yourself out. I do find the wrong side of town comment very telling. Stereotype much? Have a good day. |

If you don't expect anything but they do the way you please you should like it still (or even more?). But if you do expect something and it doesn't happen you should be disappointed. So what's the value of expectations? The idea of someone's expectations being important to anybody else reminds me of some book character. He keyed other people's cars and subsequently helped those people by fixing that damage free of charge. He just wanted to be helpful. It's all right to dislike anybody for whatever you like. But being demanding only makes sense towards oneself, perhaps. |

I've opening doors for my honey for 57 years, except for the time I was away in the US Army (2 years & 8 months).

It’s now five, but you passively asked so let me actively respond. Because we liked it. I’ll let that sit for a bit.

I always do but really for two purposes.
1. I do a 360 visual check on my vehicle so I know condition and possible hazards present before I drive off, so her door is "on the way round" anyways. 2. I like to check to make sure her dress or handbag strap isn't caught in the door. |

This is not a car door opening post, but I was entering a deli today where you have to pull a number inside to be waited on in the order that you entered. I was ahead of two women on the sidewalk, with all of us planning on entering the deli. I held the door open for both of the women and I could see their disbelief that not only did I open and hold the door for them, but obviously let them jump ahead of me in the queue once inside. A simple act of kindness can make a difference.
