[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many seconds will you stand and wait for an able-bodied, unencumbered person to walk through the door? 
I say 3-5 seconds.

I'm a woman who holds the door a lot. I'm sometimes surprised at the number of women who don't say thanks.[/quote]

Most white women do not say thanks, minorities women usually do. Also white women will not hold a door for anyone let alone someone encumbered. It must be the way they were raised. [/quote]

I'm a white woman and I hate to admit that I agree with this. I do hold the door and I always say thank you, but white women are most likely to let it slam in my face.

Crazy thing happened to me last week. I was walking from the parking lot towards the mall entrance where there are two sets of doors. There was a young woman (20s) standing with her back holding the door open. An older woman who looked like her mother was standing in the space between the two doors, rummaging through her purse. I watched them standing there for a good 10 seconds - way too long to stand and hold the door for someone, IMO. To me, it looked like they were waiting to see if they had a receipt or something before going in.

Rather than coming up on them and needing to say, "excuse me," I walked to the next door over. I hear the young woman say loudly to her mother, "Did you see that effin s&%$?! What an effin b&$ch!" and turned around and looked at me. I was shocked but I calmly said, "Oh, were you holding the door for me?" to which she replied, "ummmm....yeah!!" I said, "sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't realize."  She continued to mumble and trash talk me to her mother as I walked behind them until I turned off to go where I was heading.

People are nuts.[/quote]
