Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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
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 the door open for someone and he said, "Thank you!" I said, "Thank you!" back. FML
Not my fault!
Today, I tried to be helpful by holding the door open for a woman carrying boxes. She smiled and hurried toward me, then tripped and dropped everything at my feet. She stared at me like I'd caused it, and said, “Thanks” through clenched teeth. FML
Chivalry
Today, while holding the door open for a stranger, I thought I was being polite. She walked through, smiled at me, and said, "Thanks, but you didn’t have to follow me into the bathroom." I hadn’t noticed the door led to the restroom. 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 told off for not holding the door open for a woman behind me at work. Yesterday I was informed that chivalry is offensive to women, as it implies that they are not equal to men. I can't win. FML
Whoops
Today, I attempted to be nice and hold a door open for a person in a wheelchair. He hit the button to open another door. While I pointed out that I would hold the door for him, I realized that the door I was holding open for him led down some stairs. FML
Today, I tried to jokingly hold the door shut so my friend, who I'd seen walking down the hall to our class, couldn't get in. It was funny, until my new teacher yelled "Open the damn door!" from the other side. FML
Respect should be earned
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

That's when you let go of the door and let it slam in her face.

She closed the door on her and the OP possibly being friends.

She probably thought, "This man/woman thinks I can't open a damn door myself." Independence Day.

And here we observe a tumblr feminist in its natural habitat.

I'm a guy and I enjoy when people hold a door for me. It means less work so why not. Feminists just have to find a way to complain so they can maintain their victim complex.

Only that such a reaction would be normal in this case, so actually you react quite good

One of the few puns that deserves a like

That pun was awful. You need to get your head slammed in a doorframe until your dead as a door nail. I'll go home and feel ashamed about this comment now...

At least chivalry isn't dead.

You don't know that it isn't a woman who the OP held the door open for.

Not everyone's going to behave the way we hope OP. The best choice is to forget about it and move on.

You can't even be chivalrous or even nice with out getting yelled out now a days. Some one is always getting offended . Regardless you were doing a nice thing.
