I tried to hold the door for you at the Bridge Terminal on Sunday. You vehemently refused and told me to just fucking go. When I said I was just trying to be nice, you claimed YOU were the nice one. Your rudeness was the cherry on a shit-pie of a weekend.

  1. Wow. That’s so freaking rude that it’s sad. Don’t stop being nice, OP, we need more people like you. Don’t let this bad experience sour you.

  2. I once held a door for an older lady and she gave me the dirtiest look and barked at me, “I can get my own door!”. I still hold doors for anyone and everyone – undeterred by that one person’s messed up world view. Continue to take the high road OB and hold them doors. Small kindnesses help maintain civility in our society.
