People who just walk through the door while you’re holding it

I’m writing a hard news story for my Journalism class. It’s not going well, so it’s time to Tumblr.

So I was going to class today, and after walking through the door into Giedt, I held the door for the guy after me… because, of course, that’s what nice people do. Guy just sails through the door like he’s Bono. Doesn’t hold the door for himself. Just sails through. Well, actually, halfway through his sailing, I decide, fuck it, I’m not holding the door for this guy. So I let go and it hit him. LOL but anyway.

I wonder why someone would think that they shouldn’t have to touch the door as it’s being held for them. They could be a super nice person, but this behavior baffles me. This is also generally the type of person who doesn’t say “thanks” for your effort.

Same thing with those times when you stop in your car to let someone cross the street. Dane Cook said that he gets pissed if he doesn’t see that little wave — you know, that little wave as if to say, “Thanks, you’re the best.” I get pissed too. Please, just do the wave. Do it — otherwise you’re an asshole. JK… no but seriously.
