Default Re: OOT weekly thread: minor things that infuriate you

Eld - some people don't say 'thank you' when you hold the door open for them either. I assume they might all be anti-wavers.
I don't really get that bothered by either though.

I do kind of mind when I hold open the door for an old-lady or something and 7 straight people see it as an opportunity to just sneak right in without having to hold it or open their own door.
Sometimes it's clear that they couldn't see that the door wasn't open on its own or something. But other people just go walking right by with their group of 10 or something.

Look dude, it's your group, you can take over the door now.
You can even kind of do a half-step away like you are really done holding the door now and you would just like to go to your car or step inside yourself and they still won't take over.

It's one of those things where I really don't feel comfortable just letting it go and walking away because then it's going to knock some poor kid or old person in the ass.

Usually it's when I'm leaving i think.
but I've had it happen a couple times where all these people just walked right by and got their name to the hostess ahead of me.

I can't be the only one this happens to.
