Do you often hold the door for people going in or out of public places?

I do. Sometimes they do sometimes they dont. I was taught that doing someone a kindness is its own reward.

Yes. Once, when leaving a medical center, I held the door open for an elderly lady who was walking with crutches. She said, "Oh, thank you... you'll go straight to heaven for that.

I smiled and said, "But not for a while yet, I hope?"

She laughed and said, "No sweetheart, I think not for a good while."

Yes. Most people do at least smile and nod, but sometimes people behind them keep streaming in like I'm the doorperson or something.

Yes I do and it’s usually appreciated

its very much appreciated

Yes for both questions.

Once when leaving a medical office building, I held the door open for an elderly lady on crutches.

She said, "Thank you so much. You'll go straight to Heaven for that."

I smiled and said, "But not for a while yet, I hope."

Then she smiled too.

I do if they are close enough. Some do, and some don’t, thank me, but it does not affect my common courtesy.

100% do hold the door. Most appreciate this, some just walk through.

I always do. And 99% of the time people acknowlege it

If they’re close by. It was acknowledged yesterday 😌

Yes, and most appreciate it and say thanks.

I do and most of the time I get a thank you and a smile.

Yes always

Yes and yes. But the thing is, because I walk with a cane these days because of my leg, I find that people who I intended to hold the door for are rushing up and holding it for me. :(

Yes I do...doesn't matter if they acknowledge me or not, thats just me.

Yes I do, and they usually thank me.

I always hold the door open,?

Yes and yes.

Yes - it's only ordinary politeness; and most do say "thank-you".

I will and people usually do and when it’s held for me I will always thank the person.

I always did until recently...Now when I do, people look at me like I'm going to rob and rape them.

I do, it’s the way I was raised. Sometimes I get a "thank you", other times not.🙂

Any time I see someone close to the door I am at, I will hold it open. My children learned this by my example. It's appreciated....same as I appreciate it when someone does the same for me.

Yes on both

I hold doors open for everyone. It's good practice for putting others first.

If it needs to be held open for them I do and most acknowledge it.

All the time. Habit. Most don't.

yes, I try to...and sometimes they acknowledge it and sometimes they don't...it doesn't matter to me either way..however, if the wife sees them not acknowledging my kindness, she will make a scene...sheesh...just shut the hell up will ya!! it's in my nature to be nice, not to expect they acknowledge that I am.. 🙄

Yes. Nope.

Yes and yes

Yes and yes

Yes , I hold the door and also have the door held for me , it's always acknowledged either way .
