Lately I've been holding doors open for people. It's funny the reaction they have. Something so simple can really make a person smile. I don't mind doing it because at the worst it means for me standing in the cold for an extra second or two while the person walks through.
Unless it's a boy. I don't know what it is, but boys, especially the ones I know, do not like it when a girl holds a door open for them. They will stand in the cold, waiting for me to go through the door that I am holding open for them, while I tell them, please, go inside, I'm holding the door open for you. Some just refuse to do it.
Why? because it's not gentlemanlike? Then hold the door open for me, don't wait for me to walk through in front of you. I'm getting cold, you're getting cold, and moreover I'm getting annoyed. Are we that set in our ways that even though most boys don't hold the door open for girls anymore, they still won't go through a door that a girl is holding open for them? Does it make you feel less like a man, boys? Am I demasculating you? Sorr about it, get over it, and walk through the door to the 21st century, where it's okay for girls to open doors for boys, or strangers.
