Are you a friendly person?

[Schlosser85]

I love and am loyal to my friends.

I am very polite to customers when I have to be, but half the time I'm inwardly thinking they can go **** theemselves.

I guess how well I hide this varies. Some customers have told me what a sweet young man I am, while others have complained how unfriendly and unprofessional I was to them, so I'm not sure what to think.

Away from work, I'm generally very curt. I'm not an ass to cashiers and waitresses, but I'm to the point and not chatty.

 

[katie_girl09]

Surprisingly... yes. I'm only a ***** when necessary, I swear.

 

[Scarlet spidey]

If I'm at work I'm a jerk.
If I'm not at work. I'm still usually a jerk.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I have good manners, believe in karma, and live by the golden rule.

but I try not to be a doormat in the process.

Plenty of scumbags try to take advantage. They take kindness for a weakness.

Well said. It's really difficult when those "scumbags" are in your family.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I hate when I hold open the door for someone and they don't say thank you.

hate that s--t.

Yeah I think every family has a couple of those.

Not sure why though.

I don't mind that... because if I did, I'd never hold the door for people. It bothers me more if people bump into you in the street and don't say sorry or excuse me.

 

[Anubis]

I don't expect it, nor do I give. I will not open a door for you....unless you have a nice ass....and even then, that's purely for my benefit.

 

[Fanticon]

I'm pretty friendly, but as I get older I put up with less bs from people I can immediately tell I won't be able to get along with.

 

[SpideyVille]

It's even worse when they look you straight in the eye and don't say anything.

I don't mind when they don't say anything; what I do mind, what makes me boil is when you're holding the ****ing door and they see you holding the ****ing door and yet they continue to go for the ****ing door and hold it themselves like you're not good enough for a ****ing door.

Moral of the post - ****ing doors, man.

 

[terry78]

I have been out and just smiled and said "hi" to females I've seen out in public who have blatantly just disregarded it and continued walking or pretended not to hear me. I think women just get it so much they start to automatically tune out any dude trying to talk to them.

And no, it's not me...I'm too lovable.

 

[AndThePickles]

That's when you've gotta glare back until they fold.

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

I wouldn't say friendly, I try to be generally pleasant and not cause drama, but I'm not trying to make a ton of new friends either. In public I'm somewhat soft spoken, usually wait my turn in conversation. I feel like if you talk excessively you say less than if you speak less freely. I don't try to force interactions with people, but I definitely get a lot of attention when I go out. I go out with relatively the same crew, and I enjoy social activities, so I guess if that makes me friendly, I am.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I once held the door for a few people who all smiled and said thanks until this tall black dude behind them refused to walk through and waved me inside as if me holding the door open was shamefull or something. After I walked in and the door closed he brushed past me and walked out.

It was left feeling kind of strange afterword and I swore from that time on that if someone waved me in when I was holding the door for them I would simply stay outside the door let them walk through and stare at them instead of obeying their wave-in.

So is this a macho thing, guys refusing to walk through doors being held open for them or was this dude just toying with my ego?

Guy's just being a *****e and or enjoys effing with people.

I'll hold the door open for the person directly behind me so it doesn't slam in their face, but I'm not gonna let a whole group pass me while I just stand there holding the door open.

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

Isn't Southern hospitality just a myth?

They say in the South they smile even as they shoot you.

 

[SpideyVille]

My friend called me lazy earlier today because I went in a door that was open as opposed to opening another door and holding it for her and her friend.

Yeah, but on the other hand, chicks dig that sh**...you'll probably get laid soon.

That is easier said than done. If there's a small chain of people walking through a door you're holding open it would be pretty awkward to stop one of the people from walking through while closing the door in their face.

I think the unspoken code is if someone exiting a place your leaving holds the door open for you, you hold the door yourself, releasing them of door holding duties while saying thank you. If you are entering a door being held by someone exiting you should rush through the door while saying thank you.

There shouldn't be a problem holding the door for a chain of people as long as the chain doesn't exceed 5 or 6 people. At that point someone entering should take over door holding duty while you exit.

I just hold it slightly until they get a hand on it, I rarely, if ever turn and hold a door open unless like a dude in a wheelchair is going through. I'll usually not turn around much. I'm not going to criticize anyone for holding a door open for me though, or the five people behind me. I don't really concern myself too much with what others think of me, so I'm not prone to chivelry.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I'm everything on the poll, but I'd like to be the first one the most. I'm not, though.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Wait a minute. There was an open door already and you were expected to open the other side to make more room for the entering females?

Seems a bit excessive.

If I held open the closed side of an already open doorway I'd expect some strange looks. Unless the person entering is royalty, a single door open is sufficient.

Holding the door open is mostly for strangers you'll never see again so it isn't done to boost your reputation. I do it because I hate when people slam the door in other peoples faces and I believe being courteous brightens up peoples days even if only slightly.
