I would always hold the door for people behind me, cause I had bad experience when I was a kid. The person in front didn't hold it and I was the victim. (Heavy door)

 

I say, "Your welcome". A very Canadian (though not at all exclusively) response.

I have said "No Problem" depending on the context but if that's a no-no I'll stop... No problemo.

 

I don't find the "no problem" reply offensive. My peeve is the "yup" response (may be limited to greater Boston). This is given after the afore mentioned thank you and also as a reply to an "excuse me". I was in a restaurant and excused myself by someone who would not step aside to let me pass (in the main hallway) and the reply was, you guessed it, "yup".

Makes the no problem thing seem like its straight out of Miss Manners.

 

What would ALF have to say about this?

 

What's worse is when you hold the door for someone and they say nothing. I always say "you're welcome" in a loud voice with an irritated tone. I think people have just forgotten common courtesy, particularly on the road.
