People are perfectly capable of pushing or pulling a door open themselves. On the other hand, don't hold the door open for me, I'm not gonna sit there and shuffle my way over to the door looking like a retard just bc you're holding it open for me, but then I'm the asshole for taking my sweet ass time.

ah spoken like a true new yorker.

when i moved from nj to kansas i was shocked at the pervasive door-holding culture. people would hold the door open for others that were a good 25 feet away. and if the straggler was a women, double the distance. i on the otherhand was the typical rude nj ahole who held the door for no one and like never before felt conspicuously out of place.
