I live in Eastern Europe and was totally surprised when I held a door open for a woman and she looked at me like I was crazy.

"I'm just trying to be nice?" I said? "What if there is a fight going on in there and tables and chairs are flying around!" she said.

Over here Men are Men and Women are Women. As it should be.

It used to happen all the time when I moved to the city. People would get offended at everything I did. Heaven forbid I strike up a conversation, they would think I was trying to mug them. The door holding was the best by far though, "I can hold MY OWN DOORRRRR RrreeeEEEreeeEe"!!! Then I started to play the "fit through the door as fast as possible and close game" to be a dick. I can still get through a door with 12 inches of space and have it closed instantly, it really is an important life skill.
