Today, I held the door open for someone and he said, "Thank you!" I said, "Thank you!" back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I accidentally shut the door on someone who was walking behind me. After he opened the door, I turned, looked him sincerely in the eye and said, "Suffering". I meant to say sorry. FML

Today, I was going into an office building. There was a boy and a man ahead of me, and the boy held the door open for me. Surprised, I said, "What a nice young man," and he said, "It's OK, ma'am; my dad says to always hold the doors open for old ladies." I'm 43. 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

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

Thanks
Today, I tried to be nice to a cute girl at the café by holding the door open for her. I smiled, leaned on the door frame, and poured my entire cup of coffee down my leg. She still said thanks before walking away. 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

Today, I was walking out of a Starbucks and saw someone walking out behind me. Thinking it would be the nice thing to do, I held the door open. I was holding the door for about 30 seconds before realizing I was holding the door for my own shadow. FML

Today, I tried to be nice and held a door open for someone. I didn’t realize they were actually far away, so I ended up awkwardly standing there for 30 seconds while they power-walked towards me. FML

Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Do you say "you too" when the waiter says enjoy your meal?

That is fine. You could have said your welcome or sure thing. But what said is fine.

Not the worst reply. “No welcome,” “your problem” or “not a pleasure” would have all been worse.

That's terrible! I'm so sorry that happened to you. There's really no way around it, you're going to have to leave the country and start over to escape this great shame.

Well - you hold the door - have a nice long look at their lower back side as they pass - when they say "thank you" - you reply "thank yoouu" Not creepy at all 😂

You think that's bad. I held the door open for a girl the other day(as i'd do for anyone), all I got was a slap in the face and called a "misogynistic pig". All anyone in the shop heard was the slap and her screaming at me, I got a lot of dirty looks. Not the first time something like that has happened.
