Title: Holding the door for strangers:etiquette.
Post by: Irongrip400 on December 02, 2013, 02:25:35 PM
So I was walking into the bank, and decided to hold the door for this lady. Long ass line inside, and she didn't let me back in front of her. So, by letting her ahead of me to enter the door, did I automatically forfeit my rightful place? Just wondering what was the correct thing to do, etiquette wise. Also, how far away does the person have to be to not hold the door for them?

Yes, lost your place.

5 ft minimum.

10 if they are hot.

15 if they are topless.

Epic beta.  She wanted you to get behind her in line, grab the back of her head and yank her and tell her to know her place.  You failed son.

A gentleman holds a door for a lady. A man holds the door and smacks her ass as she goes by.

Yes, you forfeit your place, unless you dash back into it, although you could look like a douche doing it. Mannerly thing on other people's part would be to allow you to politely cut back in.

If it's a double door, I'll usually hold the the second door open, they deal with the first, unless they are dealing with a tough job then I'll try to do both.

Distance? Usually if I'm close enough to make out a face, I'll let them in, otherwise, I'm going about my business.

If the chick had a nice ass, why would you want to stand in front of her unless you're gay?

Outed......beta homo.  ;D

For the record, she was a Hebrew, I didn't want to see her.

You're expected to say "Sorry about the slavery thing" as she goes past.  You insensitive asshole.

Should've told her to get to the back of the bus line.

Hold the door, trip her, help her up after you get your spot in front of her. 

That way you get to be the nice guy--twice, and you get your spot in line.

Then why did you hold the door for her? You're only supposed to be kind to a woman until you get into her pants. If they are ugly....fuck them, it's social Darwinism.

Let me ask you this about this Nebrew specimen....."do unto others as they would do unto you".

Would she, or any of the rest of her kind, have opened the door for you?

why hold the door if you are expecting something in return? I think that explaining the point to you would be lost on you

Srsly, if you do something nice then a lot of women assume it's because you 'have an interest' in her, even if you'd do exactly the same for a guy.  This can lead to weirdness and almost always ends in me feeling confused and insulted.  

If I see a woman broken down at the side of the road, I never stop any more.  I think twice before doing anything nice for a woman, especially if she's on her own, and am more likely to do something nice for a male.  These days, if I see a woman who might need help, I just go straight past.

I hold the door for nobody if you are walking behind me and you are not fast enough the door will hit you, and if anybody dares take my place in a line i will ask them to step outside and lets resolved it.

Pretty much they'll be ahead of you and you rushing just to get ahead in line or whatever the situation is, is gonna make you look like an asshole and aggressive,

I walk ahead and hold the door from the inside. Don't work for them short folk, but a door frame and me look good together.

X2

This is the preferred method! Shows a suprising level of consideration while reaffirming Your dominance by not letting them fully cut in front of you.

Brutal over analysis of the door holding methods ITT by the way  :D

I usually hold the door for older people and people who look like they need help.

i hear a joke once:

in the bus, crowded, old guy standing and watching a young guy whos sitng there and shows no intent to offer his place to the old guy.

the old guy tells him"when i was young, we used to stand up for the elders and offer them the seat"

young replies"see,thats why your legs hurt today"

My biggest pet peeve is holding the door open for someone, and then walking through it without saying thank you. I ALWAYS say loud and clear "YOU'RE WELCOME". I find it's chicks that feel they are entitled to walk through the door without saying thank you (I'm talking about strangers here).

That is why I am very inconsistent in holding the door for people. Since they are very inconsistent with their manners and gratitude. People today expect you to do for them, as a service with no thought of manners.

I hold the door for old ladies. They have manners. They always say "thank you" when you do it. And they always look genuinely happy that someone showed them a kindness, and they'll smile, which then puts something positive into my day.

Or I'll hold it for a mom if she's got her kids with her. She may not have the energy to smile at you because the kids are driving her nuts, but you know she could use all the help she can get. At some point, she'll remember it and be happy someone helped her.

Single women can get their own doors. They rarely say thanks, and somehow give me the impression they feel entitled to my time being used to hold their doors. Feminism cuts both ways. You want to be treated like a man? Get used to no one helping you with a door.
