      No? I just expect acknowledgement. Just a little head nod or basically any sound

      I’m not a doorman. I’m holding the door so you feel like you’re in a slightly friendlier world, I didn’t have to do this. I don’t expect others to do it for me, but my day gets a little better when they do.

      These little interactions are how a society feels friendly. It’s the fabric of civilization

      When you walk through like you’re entitled to have doors held for you, then fuck you. You’re snubbing someone trying to make the world a slightly friendlier place

        Oh I agree about what should happen, but your argument is that if people don’t ack you then you’ll stop doing it.

        Personally I find if the person behind me isn’t even looking up to see where they’re going then I just let the door close. I’m not shutting it in their face, I’m just treating them the way they like to be treated. But that’s different from being petty and undoing the kindness – ie slamming it in their face.
