Holding doors open for Women etiquette?

[psychocandy]

Don't be one of those pillocks that stands there holding it while you are 30 feet away meaning you feel obliged to run though. If she's a woman she knows you are doing it just to make her tits wiggle and if it's a bloke he will assume your gay and are watching his cock swinging. Either way don't so it.

I get that problem. If I run mine drags along the floor.

That's just what he tells Atos

Any woman who has a go at you tell her you open the door for everyone as you were brought up properly.

eh? On what planet would someone have a go at someone else for being polite?

Otherwise you'd be jumping up and down trying to reach the door handle.

One should always let a Lady go first. Or was it come first?

Anyway, best bit about holding a door open for a Lady is you get a better chance to stare down her cleavage. Just try not to drool too much.

A cheerful and confident declaration of "Age before beauty!" usually dispels any illusions of sexism.

Jumping on the bandwagon now are we?

With my long legs, it's no problem at all.

Yeah, the etiquette of having to thank/acknowledge someone for something which you never asked them to do in the first place.

Was on the receiving end of a very snotty remark a few weeks ago when I didn't thank a woman for holding the door open, despite the fact my mind was on a minor family emergency.

Hmm and they also did not slam it in your face either - another thing you do not ask for - small mercies hey.....

How can you not notice someone holding a door open - you can recognise a door and you can therefore recognise you need to open it - if you do not need to open it is
a) Propped open by some non human device
b) Held open by a human

How you fail to notice the difference is beyond me but I imagine it is because you think you are special.
