There is this awkward stretch of time when holding the door for someone is less of a kind thing and more of a make-you-look-like-an-idiot thing. If someone is very close to you, hold the door. That's easy. If they are all the way down the hall, don't hold the door. Also easy. But there is always this awkward moment when you hold a door for someone then they take 4-ev-R to get there. But once you realize you've misjudged, you can't just let the door go. No, sir. Because by then, they are closer! And put your self in that person's shoes too. That is pressure! Try to get to that held-open door in a socially reasonable time frame. Ugh.
I am going to start just racing to doors and slamming them behind me no matter how close people are. Then I will be interpreted as crazy and no one will mess with me.
Legit.
