BOF Posted November 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2015 I must have mentioned it before cause I'm still irritated by it but I held a door open for a women who acknowledged me by saying " I'm perfectly capable of opening my own doors"I genuinely have no idea how I'd react in that situation. I say that because I can't rule out blurting something along the lines of "oh well now that I know you're a word removed I won't do it the next time" and it would be completely reactionary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was always " No, I have to hold the door for you because I'm a gentleman and my parents brought me up to be polite". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted November 12, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ah the door thing ...nothing worse than holding the door open for someone and not even getting an acknowledgment for it It's awful isn't it? Seems to happen more and more these days too, along with letting someone out when driving and not even getting a raised hand in thanks.Every time the door one happens I give it the very loud and sarcastic 'Thanks! You're welcome' as they walk past.Bunch of bad mannered, ungrateful words removed.NEarly as bad as when you're following someone down a corridor with loads of doors and you begin to run out of ways to say thank you without repeating yourself. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 When someone holds the door for you... but you're about 15m away so have to do the quick step/jog thing to avoid them having to hold it for too long. Might be a British thing. That piss you off ? Yes, but it shouldn't... Now I have to run to the door to be polite. Ah the door thing ...nothing worse than holding the door open for someone and not even getting an acknowledgment for it I must have mentioned it before cause I'm still irritated by it but I held a door open for a women who acknowledged me by saying " I'm perfectly capable of opening my own doors" It's just the polite thing to do as far as I am concerned and I found her response flabbergasting In evolutionary terms, as explained by Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, this sort of interaction can be analysed in terms of what he calls suckers, grudgers and cheats. Suckers - those who help others indiscriminately (the habitual indiscriminate door-opener). Grudgers - those who help others but remember who they have helped and stop helping if they do not reciprocate, or ****** them over. Cheats - those who always accept help but never help others. According to Dawkins it is the suckers who are the problem because in a population where the suckers predominate the cheats eventually destroy the suckers and you end up with a population dominated by cheats. Therefore the grudger is the best strategy for the benefit of the whole population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted November 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2015 Guess I'm a sucker then. I was trying to work out today why I'm always the last person to get out of the lift at work. I've even tried to see if I can make it out first (or even just not last) but I'm never quick enough off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'd have said. "Wai..wha... you're a.. WOMAN???" (I wouldn't have, I'd have said sorry probably, such is my inert niceness and needing to please complete strangers who wouldn't piss on me if I were set alight with gasoline) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I wouldn't have, I'd have said sorry probably, such is my inert niceness and needing to please complete strangers who wouldn't piss on me if I were set alight with gasoline) The problem is that it is usual that impulses to help others usually means you are in full simp mode and so the lacerating witticism is just not available. So it is invariably the case of enjoying some espirit d'escalier a few minutes later when your tormentor has long departed. (I like the idea that your native niceness is inert, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have never, EVER come across one of these 'militant feminists' who object to having doors held open for them. And I speak as someone who has worked as the only male in an office dominated by radical feminist lesbians. They were absolutely fine. I held doors for them if I was first through, they did the same for me. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 i think militant feminists are the figments of lonely men's imaginations, bogey women who haunt their daily existence by entering into their minds like cartoon heads and have the temerity to not be the timid wights or saintly damsels said men were led to believe in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defence, despite working in an environment that was 90% female at the time, the woman in question was known as such by all within the organisation.

Popular Post blandy Posted November 12, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2015 the nations favourite beatles number 1horrible list, wish these kind of lists would try and say something rather than just be populist bullshit, yesterday at number 2? ridiculous, didnt even get to number 1 for a start, no comments about the songs release and how it was released in the US firstand of course there just so happens to be a reissuing of the number 1 album to coincide with the programI'm gutted that I didn't know it was on and so I inadvertently missed it. Had I known it was on of course, I'd have deliberately missed it, which would have been much more satisfying. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
