holding the door (rant)

[Andrew Bohan]

ok, so first, i'm all for holding the door for ladies and shit, so don't even start with that.

whenever i go somewhere with a door like this:


i use the right side. why? because that's how things work. we drive on the right so why not make it consistent and walk on the right? when i pass people on the sidewalk it's usually on the right. sometimes double doors are even labeled in and out, with out on the left and in on the right. sometimes the doors are labeled out on the right and in on the left, and i have seen this actually confuse people when they are automatic doors and they try to go in on the right but there's no sensor, so i know it's not just me who likes to be on the right.

now occasionally i'll be entering or leaving some store, and as i'm approaching, someone holds open the left door for me. i guess i'm kind of rude when i open my own right door and make it so he held the door open for nothing. i'm ok opening my own door and staying on the right, thanks.

and sometimes i go out the right door, and there is someone on the other side waiting to come in that door since i already opened it. why would you wait for me to come out just to take advantage of my open door, when you could open your own door a few seconds earlier? are you really that lazy? it's not just old people. it's regular healthy people who are strong enough to open doors.

today i went to the gym, and when i opened the right door, the chick who was approaching from the other side changed her course toward her door (left from my point of view) to come out the door i was holding. why would you do that? if i was going to be a gentleman and hold the door, i'd hold YOUR door. she goes "thanks!" and walks off. then the 5 people following her came out my door too. STOP THAT. THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER DOOR FOR YOU TO GO OUT THAT NO ONE IS USING. GO OUT THAT DOOR AND LET ME FUCKING COME INTO THE GYM. LAZY ASSES.

its sad, but...a lotta mommas raised a lotta fools...

[TiNMAN]

what gym was it? was she cute?

[Ian]

steam roll the mother fucker next time


that's what i do...put your head down or pretend youre on the phone...once they get barrelled over just be like "oh i'm sorry, i wasn't looking but i assume nobody would be coming out the wrong direction through this door"

[marcencar]

wellllll put sir.

[BlckBeautyVTEC]

roid rage...

[revat619]

dude i totally feel ya on this.

I'd like to add something as well. If people are gonna use your open door, they could ATLEAST say thank you. Stupid fat bitches do this ALL the time. Matter of fact today, this chick did that at the AMPM. I was holding the door for this old lady and this fat chick rushes up to use the door im holding. Fine, whatever, you're fat, ok i'll hold the door for you. Then she just walks past me like nothing. So before i let the door close i quite audibly say "well shit...YOUR WELCOME."

She looked super embarrassed cuz there was a line of people in there and they totally saw what just happened. I just looked at her like she was a total waste of life then walked on to my car.

Laziness and people being impolite....two of my biggest pet peeves.

thats my fav thing to do, just say your welcome loud enough so they hear you, i lover their faces when they look back.

[TiNMAN]

^LOL!



yea...there should be a license to have kids.

[MikeisNissan]

lol this is so funny. but yeah i hate that. I also hate when people are walking towards you and don't care to move. Oh and i'm all for the right sided of things.

[eastcoastS14]

I always hold doors for people like if they are behind me or somethin...or if a girl is coming and I open the door ill let her out....it is kinda rude when ppl dont say thank you

the goofiest shit is when someone holds a door for you when your like a few yards behind them....then you gotta do the half jog to get there so your not leaving them hanging hahaha

the worst is when someone is coming out of a door and you are like right there and they dont make the extra effort to leave their hand there for like the .2 seconds and instead they walk right past you and let the door close in your face

lol nothing beats walking toward someone like in a tight hallway and they dont move and neither do they then you step to the right to kinda walk around them and then they step to the same direction you did so then you kinda step back to the left and they do at the same time....so it looks like you are trying to fake each other out lol and theres that awkward moment when you kinda half apologize like wtf was that and keep going

its alost like when you go to slap someones hand and they give you the closed fist, you go to give them the closed fist and then they open their hand at the same time to slap your hand.....fuck thats awkward ahah, so hard to watch it happen to ppl....especially nerdy white kids lol

[Kwonza Says]

thats why I love the revolving doors~ hahah everyone has fun and wins!

LOL.

I find myself doing this a lot. It's all about those two steps. Yeah, it's two. Usually a left and a right to be exact. Then one normal step. Yeah.

OMFG word. This is one of my biggest pet peeves on when walking up/down stairs and going through doorways. I thought it was just me that thought that, lol.

[WilloW]

I get the lazy fucks all the time, its worse when they actually waits for you to open the door, walk through that shit and not even a smile or a fucking thank you. Man, I've even seen cocksuckers letting the woman open the door for them. Fucking bunch of assholes.

Sometime I just want to fucking slam the fucking door into their face and knock them the fuck out.

[LB.Motoring]

When I walk in Europe,


I open and go through doors in the left side.

[ESmorz]

I take the simplest route.

I don't walk through doors people are holding open. Likewise, I don't open doors for people. Unless it's a breezy.

[pr0ject TRUENO]

hahaahaha

fucking andrew

[downshift_sideways]

Seems like someone was trying to get laid

[cdlong]

i hear ya, but what really pisses me off is when a set of double doors like that has one door that's locked. damn it, there are two doors for a reason! i bet people do that just so they can watch people try to open the locked door and then look like a jackass.

[muddafakka]

People suck and they're fucking stupid and ignorant. That's all there is to it.

Example: When I open a door and there's someone not too far behind me, I usually hold the door for them. Just something I've always done. I don't expect a thank you or anything, I just do it...sometimes without realizing it. Well this one time I held it for this one fat bitch cuz I saw her struggling up the stairs and breathing as if she were gonna collapse and as I was walking away, I heard her telling her friend who she met up with, "I don't understand why people hold the doors for me, just go!" I was ready to turn around and give her a piece of my mind, letting her know I actually did it out of pity for her lard ass but I pretended like I didn't hear and just kept walking.

Nowadays I just walk faster so I don't have to deal with it, unless it's a hot girl or teacher...the latter being a very rare case at my college.

Oh and speaking of fat people, I love how they order low-fat or diet foods/drinks in large quantities. Lady at the airport bosses her husband, telling him to get her a large diet coke. I almost pointed and laughed in her face when I heard that.

/END THREADJACK

[tbowzer]

who cares? If they say thanks, its all good imo.
I am with you on the right door left door thing, but what are we gonna do.

My rules:
If your within 7 feet and make eye contact, after them.
If its a lady, after them.

Whats really ratty is when you hold a door for one person and then you get shit on by the next 10 people that don't pay your door holding skills any attention. haha

[Howard92884]

She walked through your door! That BITCH! Seriously, I know what you're talking about, it bugs the shit out of me too. One day when a person starts to walk through my door I opened, I'll slam it shut and wait for them to open the door and sprint through. OHHHH THEY'LL BE PISSED!

[SC_S13]

the worst is when bitches who think they're the shit just piledrive through your walking line. especially if theyre from cow land. or the pussies who decide not to hold the door even though youre 2 paces behind them, and slip through and try to get it to close so they can make their escape...

thats why you just pretend to hold the door, then quickly close it before they go through. YAH TRICK YAH!
