Haha I didnt really mean it like that. I've met right-handed people who go to shake with their left hand.

People I play pickup basketball with act just like this.

New gear grinder, those god damn YouTube ads! The ones that after you're watching the video just randomly pop up out of nowhere and play over the video you're watching.

The audio of the ad just completely takes over everything and it's unnecessary.

Going back to the whole holding open the door thing, I do that a lot myself.

From my own experiences, they acknowledge me holding the door open for them more often than not.

I get told "thank you" quite often, and get some smiles too. Not sure if it's just me or maybe the people here. I have no idea.

Another one is when you see someone walking behind you, so you hold the door and then they aren't even going in, they are walking by. They don't wave it off or anything. But that is just punishment for being nice I guess.

This one is your own fault. Adblock. Get it. I haven't seen an ad on Youtube on my computer in ages. Now if you are mobile... well, you can probably find a way to block those too.

I didn't mean to imply that it happens to me frequently here - it doesn't. Most people are decent and acknowledge it.

I've mentioned this one previously and it happened to me last night a couple of times.

People that interrupt you while you are telling a story (or joke) and carry on telling the rest of it themselves. My mother is the absolute worst for this.

To some people, sports are more than just a game. Sports are their life. Without sports, they'd be nothing (in their own opinion of themselves). They live for the game.

Same here, more often than not get a "thanks", chalk it up as my good deed for the day, whether they appreciate it or not.
