Holding doors open can stress me out. Like if someone is a good 30 feet behind me walking toward a building, I don't know my obligations.
Does gender matter? Does sex matter? Species identity? Does age matter? Distance of person behind you? Do you just hold it for the person behind you to grab, or do you hold it and let them pass? How big of a group do you have to let pass if you're holding it open for them?
Generally, if the person is old or a woman, I'll hold it open while they pass. If it's a dude I'll just hold open it while he takes the handle. I have about a 20-foot cushion where I'll wait for them. After that, I just barrel in (unless it's a special circumstance like hands full or wheelchair or whatever).
What are the rules these days?
I also get worn out if someone is way ahead of me holding the door. Like I feel like I need to do that little shuffle walk to look like I'm trying to hurry, but I didn't ask for this. I mean opening a door isn't that hard for me. I have functioning arms and legs. Isn't it just time to let this die out (again, barring special circumstances)?
