Once again...chivalry is not dead.

[Cooter]

I think that, but it doesn't usually make it to my lips.

when you're big and crazy looking, you can get away with shit like that

[jefehbk]

I hold doors open for people all the time...about 30% genuinely acknowledge my good deed, but i will continue to do it anyway.

the only time i ever paid for someones shit was at a Starbucks...the chick in front of me was fucking hott, so i figured why the hell not. the person over the intercom was a little befuddled when I told her that i would pay for the order ahead of me as well. when Mrs. Hottness got to the window, the barista quickly understood. Sad to say that blond bitch in the Tahoe did not leave her number or wait till i got mine to acknowledge my good deed.-

did you put any creme in her coffee?

I hold the doors and don't expect a reaction. When someone does say thanks, that's cool too. Getting pissed for someone not thanking you is a little emo.

[GhostTX]

The fact that she thought that it was strange is sad.

I hold doors too. It actually pisses me off when I do and they dont say thanks or even a word for that matter.

And this!

I do it as much as I can. I guess Sherman is more "traditional", 'cause I nearly always get a thanks.

Depends where you're being chivalrous at around here, lol.

At the Shell station near downtown, I barely get a nod for it.

At FireHouse Subs Saturday, lunchtime, I got up from my meal to hold the door open for a lady trying to leave while carrying a mass of food, and trying to wrangle two young children out the door. She thanked me loudly, and left, lol.

Was on my way into work this morning and stopped at the race track at Plano and Miller for some coffee. Opened the door for a chick while going in and on my way to the register she stops me and asks, "is that all you're getting?" I told her ya that's it and she told me she's buying.

It dawned on me then that she was dressed a little slutty. She said she had a really bad night and it was nice to be treated with a little respect. I shook her hand and introduced myself. As I was driving away I realized that she was most likely a stripper from across the street at the Gold Club and was just getting off work.

My point: It's nice to get rewarded once in a while for always slinging dick, even if it's a $0.89 cup of coffee.

When I worked in West Dallas delivering beer, part of the route was Harry Hines, Regal Row, Royal Lane, so all day seeing strippers, and prostitutes walking around. Pretty interesting to see while working, haha good sight seeing.

That shit pisses me off too, the fact that I'm 23 and look 17 doesn't help either I'm guessing.. makes me want to scissor kick them in the face for not saying thank you or anything for that matter. Just like on the freeway when you let somebody over.. I believe if they don't give you the little wave saying thankyou, it should be perfectly legal to get floor it, get up underneath them and put them in the wall. Assholes.

Why should someone thank you for something they didn't ask for? Some of y'all are way too sensitive. If you consider holding a door a greatly noble task...you need to have your priorities re-evaluated.

[DON SVO]

I do it because I was brought up to do it... I don't get upset when people don't thank me, I figure that the person is just self-absorbed and hopefully, more folks like me can help to show them that nice people do exist.

I guess to a certain extent, but it's still just as polite to show apprecition toward something and say "thank you" rather than just act like the person is nothing but a door mat you walk on.

I really try to make at least one person's day better everyday by going that extra distance.

Yesterday, we had a waiter who was working really hard, so I made a point of asking for the manager and telling him how great the waiter was and should be recongized for it. Then I did the survery on ther website to make sure it went higher than than the shift manager.

I always make a neat pile of the dishes putting them at the end of the table and wipe down the table to make it easier on the person who had to come behind us to clean up.

At the grocery store, I always push my cart all the way back to inside the store rather than leave it in the parking lot making it one less cart for someone to have to work hard to push it back inside. I'll also help elderly people and Mom's load their groceries when they have their hands full with a bratty kid and push their cart back too.

I've pumped gas for dozens of elderly people at the gas station, filled peoples tires with air when they are struggling with the hose.

Changed several tires, I don't do that as much these days if it's just me and the kiddo, but if I'm alone I will help.

I will buy food for obvious homeless people and give it to them. (never cash though)

I used to be really aggressive with my driving, not anymore. I let people in the lanes, I don't get upset, just let people go etc.

If someone is clearly having a bad day, sometimes a few words of encouragement or just being friendly can get someone through the day. Even when I'm having a shit day myself, I still try my best to be considerate of others in every situation.


I don't know why so many people percieve being kind or polite to others as weakness, or why how being percieved as weak because so relevant in our society as of late.

Exactly. You don't do something kind for someone so you can expect something in return from them, you do it because it's the right thing to do.

You can't appreciate something unless you ask for it?
