This is puttin the shoe on the other foot a lil bit but, I'm what Id call a "southern lady" and have no problem holding doors open for someone coming in behind me or what not. But one day at the local discount store, I held the door open for a man, who walked in while I held the door, I didn't get a smile, a thank you, Nothin!!!!....well maybe I was havin a bad day, I dont know..but it rubbed me the wrong way. After getting on into the store...I tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned to look at me. I said, "excuse me sir, could you come back out here and let me show you something?" I walked out the door, he followed, I then turned right around and smiled at him real big........opened the door just enuff to let myself back into the store....and let it go.......with him standin outside with a goofy look on his face. It's only right that you smile or say thank you if someone, be it man or woman holds a door open. I never go through a door being held open for me without saying "thank you".
