I hold the door for men and women alike. Men are more apt to say thank you than women. Perhaps it has something to do with a long history of expecting the door to be held open for you as a woman. I say, Bull Shit. Be grateful for any display of kindness you receive in this day and age because it just doesn't occur nearly as often as it should. Nice post. Though, I admit, I enjoyed reading it in my version of your voice better. :) hah. I too, am a door holder and I get a bit of excitement when someone else does the same for me.

I feel the exact same way. I also love how a door opening experience can turn into an all out social adventure where you can fully interact with someone. I have had some door openings that have lasted nearly fifteen minutes. I guess you could have reached the friendless people out there as well... "OPEN A DOOR...MAKE A FRIEND" Sweet. Scheer Love it! I feel the exact same way.

Is this the circular logic of sobriety I've heard about? Surrealama dude! You can hold the door open for me any time though. In fact, I even expect you to know when I'm coming and to have that goddamn door open goddamnit! Who says fucking chivalry is dead, right? Damn right bitches. I miss the slur of your words, Jon Ray.
