If I hold the door open for someone, it is not to get gratitude for my act. I see what you are saying, but if you don't get credit for a nice act, saying something rude or sarcastic kind of negates the kindness, doesn't it? very true. i did regret it but just so sick of rudeness I agree. I know what you mean. Sorry to play Devil's Advocate there.

I just got back from the store. On my way out, I held the door open for an older woman. She walked in without a thankyou, go to he!!, no acknowledgement, nothing. So I told her you are welcome. She looked at me surprised and said "I didn't say anything" well duh....isn't that the point? that's why I keep my trusty lil tube of super glue handy...apply liberally to exit door handle and watch the little light bulb above her head begin to shine.

She looked at me surprised and said "I didn't say anything" At that point I just look 'em in the eye and smile sweetly. Make 'em wonder if you're just a really nice person or some kind of psycho.  |

I am very thankful to people that extend a hand. Most of the time people are grateful...it's just that one idiot in the bunch

If I hold a door open for someone I hope they don't say anything cause if they do then I have to waist my breath and say your welcome.....
........Then maybe I shouldn't even do anything so I don't have to speak to anyone.......

Same thing's happened to me countless times...at first I may resent it but then I remember that that's how Momma raised me. I do it for Mom, not to be appreciated by a stranger...
You rock Mom

Well, not sure what you mean by "older" but perhaps she comes from a time and location where that is so common it isn't noticed. Remember there was a time when that was just normally done and expected rather than another generation that encountered it so infrequent it became noticeable.
I mean really, if she is 80 or 90 yrs old is it really something to get upset about if she doesn't say thank you or anything. If yes then.......well, nevermind. |
