I am going to start breaking hips if one more old person.....

doesn't thank me when I go out of my way to hold the door open for them. Twice already this morning I stopped and stepped back to be ncie and hold the door open for the 2 old couples (these incidents were about 2 hours apart) and neither one of them even looked at me, much less said thank you. I ain't a frigin doorman dadgumit! After they just walked thru, I stated in a rather loud voice "YOU'RE WELCOME" and they looked up through their medicare haze and quickly said thank you. I am about to make an example of some old yank that isn't courteous. The same goes for some of you women out there. I am trying to be a gentleman and hold the door open for you and I don't get so much as a "F you!". I swear to you this country is so self absorbed, they can't even offer up the basic "niceities" anymore. Pricks.

When I do things as a good gesture I do them because I want to and it makes me feel good. I never expect anything in return for it and then I am not disappointed. If I expected a thank you or kind gesture in return every time I did a nice deed...I would truely be disappointed. Most people are rude and self centered imo anyway.

Yes I will and I will say thank you if someone does something nice for me.

You are never too old to say thank you. Plus some of these women are in their 20's and 30's. No excuse for being rude like that.

Kick them in the old-jaw next time.

That is a good point. It may seem like I go around expecting things but I am not giving to get, it just gets old after awhile. How hard is it to just say thanks as you walk thru the door is all I am asking. I guess I have my parents to thank for raising me with the basic and apparently disapearing ability to say thank you and you are welcome. Americans in general are becoming more disrpectful, more selfish, and just general dickheads. I am really starting to hate the attitude of this nation. Somebody hug me.
