Men, as far as I know, are expected to open doors for women. I figure any man who was raised halfway decent does this. What just happened to me got me thinking.

I was walking outside to have a cigarette, been one of those days. A woman was walking in front of me as I was walking out of the building. She opened the door, looked over her shoulder right at me, and kept going letting the door almost close on me. I was a little surprised at this.

Men are expected to hold the door open for women. As I stated, I do this not only for women but for men too. I always check behind me to see if someone is there. It is the right thing to do. So are women not expected to do the same? Am I crazy for thinking what this woman did was downright rude? In this day and age I would think it to be normal for a woman to hold open a door for a man. Do I expect them to open my car door for me? No, but some common decency would be nice.

People truly do amaze me. I say this a lot but it is true. Some people just lack common decency.
