Excuse me, sir, but when you cut in front of me to open the door to sneak your nasty ass inside of the bookstore, while I have two young girls, then DON’T EVEN FACKING BOTHER TO HOLD THE DOOR OPEN, you are an ass.
This may not seem like a big thing, the whole holding-the-door-open-for-the-lady-and-her-children. But it is.
I’m a Feminist. Not the bra-burning, death to Whitey, cut-off-your-nuts Feminist. I’m even a member of NOW or I was until I forgot to pay for my dues for this year.
But, I do want to be considered an equal when being considered for a job or picked for the team. But at the same time, I want to be able to cry to get out of a speeding ticket, I want the seat you’re sitting in if there are none left, and I want you to HOLD THE DURN DOOR OPEN FOR ME AND MY GIRLS.
So, Mr. Oblivious, can you please take your kicks off of Sir Chivalry’s balls, and hold the door open for me?
Love & kisses,
Me
lol. Dontcha just love it?

Rude SOB. You should print this post out and tape it onto the outside of the bookstore’s door. Maybe he’ll see it when he comes back (as he probably frequents it) and he’ll feel like an ass. I know, wishful thinking.

I really enjoyed the obvious skirting around the dirty words!
Miss’s last blog post..Haha
I am that rude bitch who will very loudly say to the man’s back ‘THANK YOU for holding the door! I hope you have a beautiful day!’ It’s great catharsis. Use it. I’ll letcha.

I don’t think it matters if you’re a man or a woman. If you have kids with you, or you’re pushing a stroller, or you’ve got bags in your hands, or you’re just there for crying out loud, it’s only polite for the person ahead of you to hold the door. There are no good excuses.
But, then, I’m Canadian. And we’re polite to a fault.

Luckily the gentlemen have outnumbered the assholes where I live, but I’ve still had the occasional jackass WATCH me struggle with a door and a double side by side stroller.
In the end I just squint them to death and usually feel better. That said - in almost three years of being a mom - I’ve noticed there are more women jerk offs then men, it seems.

I would have held the door, if I was there. Arrogant SOB.

The only thing worse is when men *think* they’re being helpful, and while giving you that little half-smile that says “Gee, aren’t I cute and helpful? No need to thank me,” they unwittingly block the elevator so that NO ONE can get off while they think they’re being chivalrous letting the women off first. Dammit, just get out of my way!!!
I also agree with Latte Mommy!

XBox sent me over. You can thank him later…pah!
That bloke probably thought he was redeeming himself by holding the door open. “Maybe if I hold it open, she won’t notice I cut her arse off…”

I can’t stand inconsiderate guys like that. Absolutely NO compassion or consideration in their bones at ALL.

Feminism has nothing to do with it — anyone who’s trying to get into a building while leading, strollering or carrying two kids needs to have the door held for them. I always hold doors because I remember how invisible I was when I had small kids. Somehow it seems that if you’re toting kids you don’t exist.

Bravo! Bravo! BRAVO!!! I totally agree. It’s amazing how many fellas are choosing to ignore the good manners that (hopefully) they were taught growing up. Ladies, it just goes to remind us all — don’t forget to teach your kids great manners. They are gona grow up one day!
