am i petty for this?

like a month ago i held the door open at work for this dude and he didn’t say thank you. okay cool, maybe he was having a day.

yesterday i’m walking in front of him again, he’s a little ways back, and i still hold the door open… tell me why he still didn’t say thank you 🥴

sir??? it costs $0 to have manners.

now i’m really fighting the urge to act like i’m holding it next time until he gets close to the door and then just let it close on him 😭 but i probably won’t do that… because clearly i have home training even if he doesn’t.

i don’t play that rude energy though lol. a simple thank you goes a long way.

You're not petty no. Humankind is going downhill. At this point we're a failed science experiment and nothing more. I ALWAYS thank people who hold the door for me and I ALWAYS hold the door for people coming up behind me.

You're right. There is absolutely no cost for good manners. The reward for good manners though is also priceless. So please permit me to say thank you for being kind enough to hold the door for people :)
