Also, why is it that it's almost always women that act like it's my job to hold the door open for them and not once say "thank you"?
Sorry guys, this is a huge pet peeve of mine.
I'd like to say it's because most guys are trained to hold the door, and know it sucks when you don't get a thank you for it.
It's more likely that it's because they're like "heyyyyyyyyy, pretty lady! Better act all smooooooth." Because it's a natural guy instinct to treat women a little bit better than they would a guy. Just in case. Ya know?
Im a woman and I hold the door for anyone. Its not a woman's lib thing, its just being damn considerate.
Women like that piss me off.
Exactly and same here.

While I have a tendency to hold the door for people (not just women), I am very thankful for automatic doors. Granted, even when confronted by doors that make me think "The future is here", I still will let other people through the door first before I make my way. I was raised to be courteous and caring.
Of course, I have to toss that all by the wayside whenever I go into NYC for the day. I wouldn't get anywhere if I held the door for everyone.

That cracked me up. Of course, there are times when I think "heeeyyy cute guy coming this way!" and hold the door for them without ever letting on that I did it just to get a look at their behind.
Hey, I'm married, not dead. I can look at the menu, just can't order anything.
