Since I’ve always hated football it didn’t occur to me it was Sunday mid game. So there we were. Surrounded by fat drunk loud mouth blabbering slobs of all varieties. the fat butch wearing the oversized jersey and sideways hat (borderline Down syndrome). Ugh just thinking about years later makes my blood boil. They were bumping our table screaming in our ears. Amongst other things. One got in my face demanding to know why we weren’t into the game. I’d had it. A year long court case ensued. Me unharmed. Them, broken noses, teeth knocked out extra. Police came and actually turned taped the area off as a crime scene . Hey football tards! Don’t scream at and touch the girl friend of a 300 lbs bodybuilder who’s been doing kickboxing since he could walk. Idiots!

 I have never in my life encountered a woman who gets mad when a man holds the door open for her. I have, however, encountered a few guys who refuse to let a woman hold the door open for them.

Frostyhawk posted:How does that work? Do they just kind of stop at the door, cross their arms and pout until the bewildered woman leaves? they just stand there and stare at you until you shrug and walk into the building and let the door shut in their face before they pull it open themselves. It's really weird behavior and I don't get it. I've had dudes honest to god dive infront of me and almost knock me over to get the door open if it looked like I was going to get there first just so that I wouldn't open it first. But 99.99% of the time it's just a smile and a thank you as they walk by like normal

They usually say "no no I insist" and awkwardly stand right behind you and hold open the door. Then you get to limbo under their armpit. First person to get to the door holds it open, regardless of gender, that's my rule.

Frostyhawk posted:How does that work? Do they just kind of stop at the door, cross their arms and pout until the bewildered woman leaves? What really baffles me is that there are still people even talking about it. Like I remember 15 years ago I got kicked in the shin once for opening a door I happened to get to a few seconds before a woman and held it for her and I knew two women in particular that would just stand there and stare at a door if there was a male human of any age within fifteen feet. Now, though, pretty much 100% of the time whoever gets there first opens the door and holds it for whoever is close behind them. Sometimes somebody of really any gender will just hold it for a whole herd of people going through. I think, as a society, we finally realized how incredibly stupid it is to have a poo poo load of rules about who should and should not open doors and for whom.
