Not me but the old man.He did an Open University degree when he was knocking on 50 years old, and part of this entailed a week of Summer school. So every night was basically out on the piss.
Anyway the first night out, he held the door open for one of the wimmin students, and got a long-winded lecture on his patronising, sexist, dated, foul rapist attitude. It really upset him, he was just doing what guys of a certain generation were brought up to do. Anyway for the rest of the week, almost none of the wimmin, and even some of the guys wouldn't speak to him.
It buggered the poor sod's week. Bastards.

Indeed. On a previous QOTW about pet peeves one of the responses was"Hardcore feminists who can't take a punch."
My mate had the same when opening a door "Women CAN open doors for THEMSELVES, you know!" so he let it swing back in her face

I've never understood this oneIf I'm in a position where it would be polite to hold open the door, I will hold open the door fro pretty much anyone, regardless of gender. I've never had a bloke get weird about it - don't understand why women would.

I'm pretty much the same.But sometimes, "shock horror!!!", I'll let a woman hold the door open for me.
If I hold the door I'm being polite or, possible, just trying to make things more efficient. If anyone were to reply along the lines of the "feminists" above I'd just reply "Fuck off, you cunt.".

I think a pleasant smile and a sincere "yes dear, of course" would get the message across far more effectively.(

Yep, same hereIf there's someone behind me I hold the door open. The same if there's someone in front of me and I get to the door before they do. Just good manners innit. Plus the far too infrequent thank you makes up for it.

I tend toloudly say "thank you" for the self obsessed twunts who fail to notice I have bothered to stop and open the door for them.

I tend to open doors for wimmin.So I can check out the rear view. Maybe I do have a sexist dated attitude.

This seems to be typical behaviour for undeservedly arrogant young adults.(

This lady was obviously brought up wrong if she can't say thank you to someone being polite.I actually really like it when people are all old fashioned like that. I hold the door open for other people too, but if someone does it for me, I always say thank you and smile. It's a nice courtesy to open the door for someone else, and just saying thank you is the correct response!

The thing that I don't get is...... that surely society has evolved where now women can ALSO open doors for other people rather than they do not need a man to do it for themselves. Whereas "before" if a man and a woman were walking along and reached a door the woman would wait for the man to hold it open for her thus allowing her to go through first. Now whoever is closest to the door handle does it.
In fact that lady was just being sexist.
