What's wrong with people? Nobody holds the door for anyone anymore. It's a common courtesy. It takes about a split second of a person's time to just hold the door. I realize many Americans are lazy pieces of shit that don't feel like getting off their couch for more than 10 minutes at a time but does it really take that much energy to just hold the door for another person?
But what's even worse than the lazies are the people who think they're too damn cool to hold the door for the person behind them. In fact, it decreases that person's "coolness" level (if there is such a thing) and really just makes them look like a douchebag.
And let me just clarify: I'm not talking about holding the door for people who are like 50 feet behind you. That's too much effort. And besides, half the time those people don't even want you to hold the door because then they feel obligated to jog to the door so that you don't have to wait too long. But if somebody is only a few feet behind a person, then that person should hold the damn door.
I should start a new policy where I just punch the person in the back of the head if they don't hold the door for me. I won't do that. But I should.
