Today, I was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a woman yelled at me for holding a door open for her. FML
Today, I was at a store when I saw a cute girl from my school. Trying to act cool, I went to hold the door for her. Too bad it was an automatic door. FML
Today, I was accused of shop-lifting by an old lady in a supermarket. Having proven myself innocent, I tried to storm off to show my displeasure at the situation. In my haste to make a dramatic exit, I tried to go out of the entrance and walked straight into the automatic door. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, while out in public, my stepmom turned and screamed at me for a good while for “walking through a door before an elder.” People stared. FML
Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML
Today, I held a door open for a sweet old lady with a walker. After she went through the door, she turned and said, "That's not how you're gonna get into my pants, son." FML
Today, I was trying to be polite by holding the door for an elderly lady in a shop. What I didn’t realise was that the doors were automatic. I ended up standing there awkwardly for a good 5 seconds, holding onto thin air, while she just smiled and walked by. A bloke behind me said, “The doors don’t need your help, mate.” FML
Today, I went to an over-crowded grocery store. As I reached the front of a long line, I noticed that a cart had been abandoned in everybody's way. Trying to be helpful, I moved it to the side. An enormous woman then shoved me and yelled at me for "pushing her property around." FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Some people just look for excuses to shout and rant at something. I'm sure of it were a normal door you would have held it open for her! I swear people all over the place just want to use "Well, back in my day..." Keep doing what you're doing OP! :)

she is right that the younger generation had a serious lack of respect for others and yourselfs

This is on a case by case basis in that not everyone in an entire generation can be labeled by the actions of a few, i personally give respect to those who show respect to me no matter what their age/ situation is. If you really want to group everyone in a generation by a couple of cases I will now claim that all older people are ignorant and stupid which i base upon the couple of FMLs that involve older people.

My sister said thank you to an automatic door...she'll never live it down. But there is nothing wrong with our current generation, people probably said the same thing about their generation and we'll say the same about the next.

I hate when people blame my generation as being degenerates. What about the generation that raised us? Where is their judgment?

A very unique perspective... I never thought about it that way! Youre 100% right, they have no room to judge us and not judge our parents. I think old people can be so hypocritical. And then they preach to us not to be judgemental.

I read somewhere that young people were actually more polite and courteous while elder people were not. I find that incredibly difficult to believe, but one winter a bunch of teens did come to our rescue when my sister-in-law's car got stuck in the mud...

What's wrong with the world is when I hold the door for people and they don't say thank you.
