Things that Irk me

[347Mike]

I cannot stand people who do not hold doors open for people. Yeah I am a guy and can open my own door. HOWEVER, if you open a door for yourself and I am less than 24 inches behind you and you have the door hitting you in the ass because you stepped through the doorway side ways because you couldnt keep the door open an extra 5 seconds then fu..

It must be the people in my building because I experience this crap everyday. I am not talking about 5-10 feet away from someone but more or less "hand shaking" distance.

I hold for everyone that is within a reasonable distance. Just common courtesy.
What IRK's me is when you do and they won't at least give ya a hint of acknowledgment.

/Rant off.....

I can't stand people who use the / and say off after the word. The / means off on its own.


If it's any consolation I held a door for a guy that was about 10 steps behind me (the reflection tricked me into thinking he was much closer). He looked at me funny, but did say thank you.

That too. My most recent encounter was someone who opened the door stopped had the door hit him, I caught it off the bounce and walked in. He for some strange reason looked at me weird cause I brushed up against him as I tried to squeeze through him and the door that he couldn't keep open.

Amen, dude. I had somebody about 15 feet in front of me hold the door and wait for me today, so it's nice to know that there are people out there that don't completely suck.

same here for both statements above, except if they're rude in return I just say with a loud voice and a smile. You're ABSOLUTELY welcome! ANYTIME!

Don't come to SoCal then, I've had the door nealry slammed in my face on more than one occassion, and rarely get even a nod, much less a thank you when I hold the door for someone.

It'd be cool if it had been, but it wasn't.

It usually happens at work, and as much as I want to say something I just keep it professional.

Say what you will, but I refuse to hold open doors for most of the "stupid mother fuckers" @ work. I always try to hold doors open, but even when you hold it open for them, they look @ you like you just slammed it in their face, fuk dat!

[90GT50]

I do it for everyone at first, then keep track of who says thanks and who doesn't, the people who act like they deserve it and don't give any gratitude don't get it held open any more.

[95ragtop]

I do it all the time, but if they don't say thanks I will yell you're welcome.
