Ive decided Im going to stop being polite to wimminz.

Seriously.

I was raised old fashioned like. I hold doors open, get out of my chair if one is joining the table, allow them right of way whilst walking, etc.

Fucking nobody says thank you anymore. I thought it was just an LA thing but I noticed it in a few different cities.

From now on Im going to go out of my way to close the door when I see a woman coming. If Im going through one of those swirl doors, once I get into the building Im going to use something to obstruct the movement of the door therefore trapping them inside.

That sounds like a pretty shitty thing to do. Do you only do nice things to others because you expect something in return (the thanks?). Do they have to be grateful in order for you to get the required satisfaction from it? I hold doors open for male and female co workers at work all the time, and most do the same for me as well.

What did I just say (about 6 posts ago)?

I dont do it simply for the thanks, but rude is rude.

Its like when my younger brother came to visit me last year, I paid for all of his meals, gave him a place to stay, etc and he never once said thank you.

Did you give him a dutch oven?

I always say thanks. Maybe LA is full of rude people???

the vast majority of the nice things I do for others go without thanks.

Then I would probably shag you in appreciation of your common courtesy.

Seriously, how many guys do you know actually get up from their chair when a woman joins the table?

I know nobody does it and that probably why Ive decided to keep doing it.

I always do. I'd feel like a total herb if I didn't.

they always say thank-you to me, maybe ur unattractive?

I always say thank you and smile.

I especially like it when the older chaps make the effort, I think they like it as they feel gallant.


Cultural phenomena?

It's not a matter of doing it for the thanks. Its a matter of expecting people to treat you with common courtesy, and not acting like they expected you to hold the door - or whatever polite thing it was that they did for you.

Look at it like this...it's like a less extreme version of going out with some girl who expects you to pay for everything and never once even says thanks for dinner. You were not paying for dinner for the thanks, but it sure would have been nice for her not to act like a self entitled spoiled bitch.

rnch - that's sad that you don't do it for those under 60. Some of us were also raised properly and treat others with equal or greater courtesy.
