    Just told some guy off at the post office
    I park my go and am walking toward the main entrance. A guy is 50 feet ahead of me and is holding the door open for me.

    So I approach the door, and say "I coulda got that myself"

    He says "Why not"

    Dunno what that means.... but anyways I say, "I'm in my mid 20s and in pretty good shape I am more than capable of pulling the door open.. Learn from your mistakes"

    He didn't respond so if I see him again I assume he won't be so stupid to hold the fuckin door open for me.

        Maybe he was just trying to be nice... Some people in this world are nice.
        If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

        I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

          The guy was being polite and nice. If you said that I would have let the second door slam you in the face after I went through.

            Kinda like being in the grocery these days or Walmart. I say hello or how are you to many people and they don't seem to appreciate at all and often just look away like I have leprosy. Hard to be nice to people this day and age. Being courteous is tough.

                    Yeah what a bastard. The other day I was walking and dollar fell out of my pocket, a guy walking behind me picked it up and gave it back to me so I jacked him in the face.

                              Actually I think you're the one missing the point.

                              Who cares what shape you're in if someone wants to do something nice for someone. Seems funny to me cuz apparently he made you question your masculinity, no other reason to get bent out of shape over someone holding a door open.

                                You are a liar like most people on this sports forum,or,you might want to visit the corner "Psycho Ward" and have some tests ran ?

                                And if the Doc tells you you have anxieties ,please don't tell him "I could have figured that myself",and,"I'm young and don't have any health problems"!

                                Buy the way...are you packing ?
                                If you are ,tell me what city you live in and I will avoid that city like the plague !

                                  Rake, there was nothing there. It was all your fault for making something out of nothing. I just hope you did not poke your chest out for disrespecting a good mannered elder. If I knew you better I would say definite ARoid Rage.

                                    You should have stood in front of the open door and see how long he held it open waiting for you to walk through. Would have been a nice standstill.

                                        No, I think you missed the point of the reason he held it open. Are you of the belief that doors should only be held open for women, children, and elderly? I'll hold the door open for anyone until they place their hand on it just because it's polite.

                                        Now, this has a range obviously, if he was really 50ft away from you then it's weird to wait that long to hold the door open and I see why you would consider that strange, but I doubt you were 50ft away from him.
