Poll: Do you hold open doors?

[Tiger Sora]

I do it all the time. I'm a gentleman. I was never taught to, I do it because it feels right.

I helped two old ladies cross the road at the mall a month n so back.

Though actually looking on the door thing I only do it for little kids or adults and the elderly. Teenagers and pre-teens be damned. They're lazy ass' can open the door for themselves.

Always, even for guys. If I'm in a rush or no-one's close behind, I throw it open to give the next person more time. It doesn't slow me down, overall, and it's more efficient for the next person. If everyone though that way escalators would be the fast bits, rather than bottlenecks.

 

[Hollock]

yes, and for NO REASON! Help me....

 

[Ava Elzbieta]

Yes. Often to the point of being an annoyance.
"No, after you."
"I SAID AFTER YOU!"
"Don't make me push you."

 

[Blastinburn]

Of course, if someone is close behind me I'll hold it open for them.
I don't see a reason not to.

Exact words. I hold doors for people if they are nearby and am grateful if they start running. Recently had my first door holding competition with someone (2 people hold open 2 nearby doors for each other and refuse to leave till the other goes through their door.) I won because I had my PSP with me .

 

[Blastinburn]

Wow! I didn't think anyone would reply so quickly. I removed what I had said from my post actually because I realized it sounded kinda creepy, I just notice patterns.

I usually hold the door open. However if one of my close friends is following close behind me, I often try to close the bloody door as quickly as possible yep we're weird and treat that as some sort of game, or at least I do.

 

[dorkette1990]

Of course. If they're attractive.


I'm kidding, I hold doors open for just about everyone. Even the uglies.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Well, of course I do. I mean, It's only polite.

If It's any consolation, I also remove my "news-time" fedora every time I enter a building.

 

[Draitheryn]

I do because if I didnt my Mom would find out somehow and come over and kick my ass

 

[TheTim]

If someone is close behind me, then i hold the door for them, but not crowds of people. and ill hold the door for ladies of course, preferably cute

 

[cridia]

Of course I do. Too bad my depth perception seems to have a certain lag in these cases, as I normally find out that that moving thing I saw in the corner of my eye is actually not all that close. That, and I sometimes forget, resulting in an awkward lunge to keep the door open

They have trained me well, to the point where my body moves before I even realize it :B

 

[Nouw]

Always. Doesn't matter who it is, I will always open the door if need be.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

If there's someone fairly close behind me, then yes. It's just the polite thing to do.

 

[HyperionToASatyr]

Always. Similarly, my father taught me it was just common etiquette to do so, and it's been drilled into me ever since.

 

[StormShaun]

I tend to always do it, I have been raised with good manners.

 

[Nathan Crumpler]

Yes.

 

[Jeff Loper]

Yes Its a polite thing to do.

[Low Key]

Usually. I find that most people don't hold open doors for me for whatever reason, so I do what I can for others. Sometimes I just have one of those days though.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Yeah, of course. Or sometimes I fling it open enough so that it'll still be closing by the time they reach it.
