Holding doors open for Women etiquette?

[mudskipper]

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

Some men like to tell tales of 'feminists' who give them grief for holding a door open. It may possibly have happened to one man somewhere once, but probably didn't. (IIRC, wim claimed it happened to him all the time!)

There are many old customs and etiquette that people just don't do any more.

1. Standing up when a lady enters the room
2. Removing ones hat when entering a building, place of residence and a elevator.
3. Opening the car door on the passenger side in which she is sitting.
4. Calling her directly instead of text messages and e-mails with N.O.R.W.I.C.H

No. 2: The place of residence is only relevant if it is not a building. The elevator would only apply if it was an outdoors elevator, else you would have already removed your hat.

I think he means that you only have to remove your hat if you are entering an elevator that doubles as someone's home located inside a building.

The problem with the other person not taking the door from you is that you can end up holding the damn thing for ages while an entire procession troops past

On the other hand, it does give you good practice for your second career.
