So what kind of job do you get, what can it possiblt be.

Working in a call centre selling drink or ripping the pish out of the poor, giving them credit cards they can't afford. Which they will probly max out, buying drink from a call centre.

That's Thatcher's Britain for you.

I have worked educating the young, helping the elderly, for several charities concerned with preserving the environment, been self-employed, written articals for magazines and the web about environmental issues and the work of my employer. I'll probably do other similar jobs in the future. Right now I'm regrouping after a bad work experience where I was bullied and lost a lot of confidence, and I'm enjoying myself doing so.

If I'm happy in my work, feel fulfilled and confident, and giving the people who call me a good experience over something that they want, then what's so bad about that?

Sorry, I couldn't read past "written articals for magazines", what was the question again.

I can't be arsed. I'm off to bed in preparation for tomorrows round of petty exploitation and abuse of the general public, whilst wasting the education that you paid for with your taxes.

For me i would hold it for maybe one or 2 women maybe elderely but if i think they can open the door on their own then i guess its not my place to be helping them....:huh:

How could two women no open the door on their own? If the elderly couldn't open the door themselves, how would they have left the house?

Think about it, it makes sence.

The feminist movement is a bizarre thing to understand. :ermm:

I believe men should hold doors open for females, but I also believe I should hold doors open for the eldery or disabled. This isn't because I see these people as weaker than me, or they deserve better treatment than anyone else, but because it general politeness and they way I was brought up.

It's such a shame chivalry can be questioned in these ways.
It just shows what a mental world we are living in.

I believe that you should hold the door open for anyone and everyone, no matter what sex, age, religion or creed.

Unless you're in a bad mood of course, in which case watching the door slam into someone's face gives you a peverse sense of self-satisfaction :sly:

Snap

Only I didn't get bullied, I kept having panic attacks. Couldn't get out of the door at some point.
Work's been great about it. Paying for counselling, allowing me phased returns with full pay and, not to mention, giving me a trip to Vegas and paying for my wedding :lol:

I'm happy. :)

I might so something else in a year's time, I might not

So what's the problem?

There is an interesting calculation involving attractiveness and how far away the person needs to be from the door before you will stand holding it until they get there.

Obviously if it's a hawt blonde with big bewbs you will stand there for about an hour and a half as she walks towards you. Wee fat wummin, foot and a half.

You should take into account age. Some of those old ladies can be vicious.

:shuriken:

Back on topic.

I usually feel uncomfortable when someone holds the door open for me, so usually I make sure I'm the first one in the door so I can hold it open for others.

What if a chap, middle aged, stood up on say a packed bus and said "Please, have this seat". Would you see that as chivalry or being patronising.

Chivalrous, unless he asked me "When's it due?", then I'd cry.

When I was on crutches just before xmas, I got a bus into work and no one let me have a seat, until a tiny decrepid lil old lady offered me hers. I didn't take it as god knows what would have happened to her if she was standing up when the bus went round a corner, so she poked a man sitting next to her and told him to stand up and let me sit down. He was mortified. I loved her like me own mother at that point.

Quality.

I think most people these days aren't consciously ill-mannered. They are just oblivious to other human beings. In days of yore people would be constantly monitoring what was going on around them and subconciously making decisions with regard to proper behaviour. In your crook leg situation every man within seeing distance would have stood up and offered you their seat. It's the way they were brought up. You would not have felt awkward about it because it was the norm.

Nowadays people are very much more insular. Rather than being sensitive to other people a barrier is put up to prevent that sort of stimulii from penetrating their egocentric universe. I'm on the bus, I have a seat, I'm listening to Dido on my iPod. Sorted, the World is a good place .... this morning. The fact that you are a temporary cripple is, quiet frankie, your business.

I don't see it as an improvement in the human condition. Maybe that's just me.

It's not just you, I completely agree. I've lost count of the times I've held the door open for someone and had them just stride through and not say thanks, or even smile, and then had them followed by a stream of non-smiling striding people, so I stand there like a muppet resolving never to hold the door open for anyone again.

I will of course, because it's good manners and at least I am aware of that, and being aware and NOT doing it makes you worse than those who don't even consider it as they are caught up in their own self-important lives.

I think you may be being a tad disingenuous there. Were you ever actually counting.

And also, when you say "the door" which door are you actually speaking of.

Whatever door I happen to be holding at the time.

No I was never counting. It's a turn of phrase, not meant to be taken literally.

As you well know.

So that would be "a door"

So how could you have lost count, that's just mad talk. The idea of it being a "turn of phrase" is one small jump above "you know what I meant". It does you no credit.

I'm not even going to mention the use of "well" in your last sentence. It is at best tautalogical and at worst trite.

No, mate.

You're just a wee bit emo and looking for some external validation to confirm that you're a nice chap who did a nice thing.

Nothing wrong in that. Yer big pooflord.

its not normal to hold doors open for women anymore,

If it was, then it wouldnt get any reaction at all. I bet they think something like this: thanks for holding the door, whats he after? :shifty:

me = :transparent: :cry:

who said that? :huh:

I employed a new driver today, he's in his late 60's. When escorting him out of the building, he opened several doors and walked through them before me. I was carrying files n stuff about his crb checks also, so I was rather disgruntled. Don't quite know how he will get on as a volunteer.

I must admit, I was quite happy when he told me he had good reflexes, and was hit by a time delay door seconds after. :happy:

Pfffft. Lollies.
