It's possible...but I think my machismo overpowered them 
Hasn't happened yet though...not a typical sort of thing for me to do at all. I almost always bite my tongue unless people are being rude to somebody else. If I were holding the door I wouldn't have said anything.
*Edit: Did you just threaten me?!??

Your bad for expecting too much from a stranger.
Stop being nice, it's the only way.

i was reading gq the other day. it suggested that in current times, men holding the door for women is chauvinistic and improper. my mom always taught me to hold the door for women so i do anyway. the vast majority of the time i get a thankyou.

Nah, I don't threaten. If I'm going to do something, I just do it. Why give them a reason to be wary? Sucker punch FTW!
That's what I do.

[QUOTE=MikeyCB,Apr 2 2008, 08:16 AM] Guess what I did last night??!?
Watching the Flames/Oilers game last night at a local bar, a friend and I were coming back inside from a cigarette and my buddy was holding the door to let me in.

one evening i was having dinner with a friend, and two of her female friends joined us. i stood up as they approached, and you would have thought i rolled out a red carpet.
This is why this country and other Western countries are falling apart. Society is about people/community, not the individual. When you have a breakdown in manners, education, religion, etc., society's pillars...you get a break down in civility and the collective society.
This is also why life is no longer held in high regard. Witness what those little 3rd graders were plotting to do to their teacher. That is just a appalling. There are so many areas that are in complete erosion its ridiculous. Government. What a cesspool. I can go on but it just irks me.
I have another thing besides the "you're welcome, asshole." Open the door for yourself and shut it as you walk in or out. Its sort of a pre-emptive measure. It says to anyone behind you or about to come out...."I would have held the door open for you, but since you most likely are a douche and won't say thank you, I only exerted enough effort to squeeze myself through."

Where I work I greet people all the time and they just give me the deer in headlights look. Another thing that gets me is when people throw money at you while paying for something. One of these days I'm gonna hit someone in the head with a quarter roll.
On another note has anyone ever introduced themselves and the person your introducing yourself too looks at you weird? I was meeting some of my wifes family in Canada over Christmas and went out with her cousins and met some other guys and got that lost look when my friend and I introduced ourselves to them. Her cousin said that if she didn't know we were from out of town she would have guessed then, because its not a common thing that guys in that area do.
