WTH is wrong with them? They just walk by like you were supposed to hold the door for them. It pisses me off.
What so hard about saying “thank you”? |

I loudly say “you are welcome”. If I see them again in the store and we cross paths I don't move.

You don't do it to get thank you's. You do it because its a civil and polite thing to do. I appreciate when people do say thanks, but my opening the door doesn't confer an obligation on their part to thank me. Again, that would be the polite response but I'm not going to get bent out of shape that they don't.

Some blue hair old bag. Was coming out with our 68# dog. She had two cats in carriers. I held the door and not so much as a nod. Said 'YOU'RE WELCOME" as I still held the door. She just looked at me like I was wearing a MAGA hat. Crazy cat lady. |

Never do a good deed because you are expecting something in return.

I just assume they are assholes and say you're welcome. Some people get a pass, most don't. The ones that get a pass are the older folks that make eye contact and nod or acknowledge in one way or another.

People who say "you're welcome" are just as bad as the people that they bitch about not saying thank you.
Keep moving and don't talk to me. ETA: most of the time I'm on a call of some sort for work and multi tasking. I'm likely not saying thank you because I'm in the middle of something important to me, but I will mute my call to say "go fuck yourself" to the "you're welcome" assholes. |

Good luck finding anyone who even holds a door for you anymore.
The "older" people on the east coast are the only ones that will do it reliably. I find women are the most notorious at walking by and trying to not make eye contact and never says thanks. Age doesn't matter. Like they expect it, I expect it, but Ialso says thank you and speed up my stride every single time. Automated doors, cell phones, and acting important have made people complete douchebags. |

Currently there are folks actively trying to destroy our way of life in the USA, to include courtesy, manners, politeness, etc...
Obviously there are now many folks who weren't raised this way, or are new to the USA, or have just given up on being polite. If they don't say "Thank you" after you show them a courtesy, don't get mad, but consider it an obligation and a kindness upon the rude individual to bring their discourtesy to their attention by saying "You're Welcome". Then let it go and don't give it a thought until the next time it happens. Even if they have a rude comeback. Obviously we don't do it to be rewarded with a thanks. We hold the door because it's the right thing to do. Also maybe consider it as a peaceful way to "fight back" against those that would try to destroy our country. I've never done this before, I've always just said nothing and gone on. But I'm going to start doing this from now on. |

I get to see this from the other side. My GF has a handicap tag and walks with a walker. I keep a wheelchair in the trunk of my car. We use that for places like a fair, mall, large store where we do not feel like dealing with the provided store scooters. It's interesting to see people go out of their way to hold the door open for her while others see us coming and time it to avoid us.
I do not care if someone says thank you to me if I hold the door open for them, but I always thank people who hold the door open for me or her. |
