If I hold the door open for you

[Faceman]

Just say thank you. Or just thanks. Maybe just a smile. Something. Don't just walk through, avoid eye contact and act like I was supposed to do that for you.

Thanks

this is a great rant..

not one person in my general area has ever said thanks when i open the door for them..
i always say "i'm never holding the door open for anyone ever again".. but i always do

I'd like to offer a rant corollary:

When you're walking not far behind someone, and they know you're behind them, and they go through a door that is closing and let it slam on you.

Another situation I hate is when I'm just far enough behind someone and they want to hold the door for me, causing me to have to run/jog up to the door since I don't want them to be holding the door forever.

Yeah, but you can't bust someone's chops for going out of their way to be courteous to you.

I don't, I'll just jog up there and tell them thanks. Even though I don't mean it.

I have had this happen to me on several occasions. My response is always "You're welcome." Then they sheepishly apologize

As a side rant, if I allow you to merge into traffic in front of me, a nice wave of the hand as a thank you is also appreciated.

If you held the door open for me, I'd kick you right in the anus and call you a jackass.

[Magneto2.0]

I always acknowledge someone for holding/opening the door for me, even though 90% of the time, they don't say "You're welcome" in response. Which would be courteous, to just recognize that I recognized you. But whatever....

What the hell...there's hope for you and I to be bestest friends forever after all!
