Oh, that would SO not fly. Well, I'm sure I would, but man, would they be unhappy when I caught up with them. Guys are such dorks, sometimes.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
At least he had the decency to announce his intentions. Gentlemanliness is lost in this day and age.

GOOD FOR YOU! Guys like that need a taste of their own medicine. I applaud your efforts in bringing the guys head out of the sky.

Not entirely--Arun still opens doors for me and for the longest time refused to let me carry things in from the store. Originally Posted by ThaDoctah

Re: My new 2142 BDU
Having been accused of being a sexist for holding doors open / offering to help carry objects, I'd recommend caution on using this all the time. Try to judge the response before jumping into chivalry. Originally Posted by Arithea

Re: My new 2142 BDU
The reality that that happens is a sad fact. It's a horrible pointer in the way the world is going when a guy can even be nice to a girl because he is sacred of being called a sexist.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
Yeah, I know, right?
I'm a Hungarian boy scout, so I was taught to follow my own set of morals when performing a service or being polite. So I don't care if you are offended that I held the door open for you... It was the polite thing to do, and I will do it. Not to mention that I hold the door for any guy as well anyway.
I'm am sometimes very saddened by the political correctness that is imposed on us. I took to saying extremely controversial and politically incorrect things in class, not because I actually agreed with them, but because I was trying to make a statement. You guys should try it sometime, it's actually quite fun. See the reaction on your class' collective faces when you call a Native American an "Indian" or say that you think global warming is a fiction created by the government to control us further, etc. It's a classic.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
I did a lot of door opening until I lived in Frankfurt for a few years. I discovered there that if I held the door open for people (as my cultural heritage taught me was the correct thing to do), they have a habit of barging past you and not even glancing in your direction.
Moral of the story? Hold doors open for people. Unless you live in Frankfurt. If you live in Frankfurt, slam doors in their faces - at least then they deign to lower their notice to a peon such as yourself in order to acknowledge that you performed an action that affected them.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
I most always do stuff like that. That is how I was raised. That's why I love it where I live. I live in a rural area in The Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. I wave at most every car I see here and at people I see along the road when I go by. And guess what? They wave back. When I go down to to the city and I do it out of habit all I get are looks like, "Who is that nut?" Here in the small mountain towns we wave at perfect strangers and nobody cares. City people that come skiing like it up here....well, some of them. Others just think we are nuts.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
This seems to be a country habit the nation over. I have lots of relatives in rural Alabama, and the rule in most places (unless you're in town, of course) is that you wave when you pass people. Originally Posted by oniell121

Re: My new 2142 BDU
Here in Washington D.C., you ride the metro in complete silence. No one talks to each other, no one looks at each other.
And how did this turn into a conversation of etiquette? I find it amusing.

Re: My new 2142 BDU
That's why I don't like citys. They are just too busy to even say "hi" to someone else. I lived in the capital of California for 12 years, I know how it goes. I'm glad I live here. And yes, it seems to be a universal thing across rural America. I can't speak for other places. Originally Posted by DrBeat

I'm not sure Beat. Maby me being in a suit inspired everyone to be more cultured.
