People that don't say thanks when you hold a door open for them should be boiled in oil (light hearted)

[DyslexicScientist]

Is it me or does anyone else get the rage when people don't even a know edge or say thanks when you've spent precious seconds doing something purely to help them?

I should I just boil myself?

oh this boils my piss too, OP. I also hate it when streams of people enter through a doorway, and they can see I'm waiting to exit, but not one person thinks to let me out first. I've learned to bulldoze my way through.

Also love it when people are bewildered when I get tired of holding the door open for lots of people, and then it closes in their face :)

Touché, Imchanging

When children at school hold the door open for me I always go out of my way to say thank you.

Can we add people who use the last tea bag and don't replace it to the pot of boiling oil please?

who was so far up my arse she could have been wearing me as a hat

I stopped holding doors open for teachers at school for this very reason. Respect goes both ways

Very rude of them - but I found it was the other way round at my last school - I got sick of holding doors open for entitled teenagers, and I almost wore out my pointedly cheery "You're welcome".

Maybe you and I should have swapped schools Redexpat

I would not expect ds to hold a door open for a teacher that repeatedly did not say thank you. Being in an authority position does not excuse you from using manners.

I hate when people don't say thank you. We have a narrow path in town even if I am coming through first I will move to the side with the pram for people I hate when people don't say thanks. I find some older people(not all) just expect it and don't bother to say thanks. Nothing is lost so I don't know why people won't.

maid I respect people until they decline to treat me with the same respect. I continued to hold open doors for the ONE teacher who did say thank you. Perhaps it was kaitlin

YANBU they should be made to eat wasps first

I get infuriated by this. So much so that my sister posted this video on my FB wall. Made me chuckle. Might start doing this is future - I usually just say a very loud and sarcastic 'THANK YOU!' on their behalf.

I've had people say "YOURE WELCOME" at me loudly when I've said thanks. Not my fault people are mutton

Please never hold a door open for me if you're going to cop a resentment when I'm distracted from saying thanks. Honestly, I would rather battle with a thousand tonne-weight doors if it means I can avoid your so-called (piece of crap false) "courtesy".

I tend to say 'Don't mention it'

But really, manners cost nothing and a smile is contagious.

I always used to get pissed off with people that did this, but then I inadvertently did it too! I was in one of those endless hospital corridors, at each double door the person who got there first would hold the door for the person coming the other way - it was an unspoken rule, and usually I followed it intuitively, but this time I'd had some difficult news and just wasn't thinking, and walked through a held-open door without really seeing it or the person holding it. Their sarky "YOU'RE WELCOME" came totally out of the blue like a jab in the ribs. Of course I said sorry but I also hated them a bit, unreasonably.

YANBU - and is there room in that pot for drivers who don't give a thank you wave when you let them in front of you in traffic?

YANBU! My son is such a sweet little lad and gets very upset when he holds doors open for grown-ups who don't say thank you! Respect works both ways!

My sister shouts at door passers "pardon" they respond " I didn't say anything" her line is then, "oh I thought you said thank you".

Yes . Theres no need for bad manners. And what happened to the litte nod or wave drivers used to give each other when you would pull in to let lem past etc!

Earlier, standing at a heaving bar, I overheard a woman demand the bar staff get her 'a vodka and coke and a JD'.. I said (instinctively) 'PLEASE' (I was a barmaid for 6 years).. she objected to the manners lesson and was eventually thrown out..I've forgotten what the moral of this story is, but some people are just pricks!

It annoys me too. I usually say THANK YOU in a "teaching manners to a small child" sort of voice quite loudly

I have always found 'Is thank you not part of your vocabulary' gets a result from people.

Findogask hospitals are the one place I let it go for that very reason.

The sheer cheek of people makes me laugh really. I live in halls & often find myself holding the door open for a stream of people in the reception and not getting even looked at....do they think I've been hired to open doors for them? I honestly don't mind but I do like those moments when you catch someone's eye and have a joint smirk/roll eye at rude people
