    It's strange that we hold doors for people who are behind us, especially if they aren't even close enough for the door to hit anyhow. I do it too. In some countries I've been in no one does that. I held a door for a girl in Finland and she stopped and waited for me to release it before she entered. that was weird, but they also will stand at the intersection for 10 minutes at midnight in the middle of winter waiting for the crosswalk light to turn green, no traffic either way.

    It's amusing to watch how long people will stand and hold the door.

    So this guy was holding a door and waiting for a woman to arrive at the door, but she just walked past the doorway and kept going, didn't come inside, so he released the door and hit another woman who tried to sneak out at that moment. So it became an apology fest.

    Funny .

    Starbucks in the morning...

    Then you have to hurry up because you're now under pressure.

    Not the case in Finland. Women are not treated like . It's just a different culture. They respect personal privacy and holding a door means you are forced to interact. They don't like to initiate interactions. It's the strangest thing.

    Women there are often highly educated and well respected.

    We don't just hold doors for women though. We do it for everyone. Funny, we cut them off on the road but hold the door.

    Holding the door open for an older person & allowing them to go 1st is an act of courtesy and respect…You just don’t see that in Los Angeles anymore…I was in Boise this last summer & was amazed that young men would hold the door open for me at the airport & in restaurants…

    I usually just swing the door as wide as possible in a gentle manner and hope whoever was behind me made it in

    This.What I can't stand is, when you open the door for someone and they just walk thru with no acknowledgement.Like they're king and that was what you were suppose to do for them.

    I pay attention to my surroundings if they are in the near vicinity to make the door in time I hold it for them. If they are far off I hurry up so I don't have to stand there and wait for them to do the slight jog to make it. Last time I did that a girl dropped her phone in a puddle trying to make the door lol

    don't come in if a woman is holding the door for you, it's a trap.

    I hold doors open for everyone. If you don't, you're probably an asshole.
