I am leaving Starbucks the other morning and see a gentleman on the other side of the door ready to enter with the use of a cane. He pulls the door as I push and we both pause. He looks to be about 50-ish and in relatively healthy condition considering he is using a cane for assistance. (His gait did not seem labored and appeared somewhat fit.)
QUESTION: Do I let him proceed first through the door or should he allow me to exit first? Keep in mind, I have been raised to believe a man should hold a door for a woman but due to the cane issue, should I have held the door for him? btw...he let me exit first...with hesitation.

WITHOUT HESITATION YOU SHOULD HAVE HELD IT FOR HIM.
ReplyDeleteBUT SINCE HE HESITATED TELLS ME THAT HE WANTS PEOPLE TO FEEL SORRY FOR HIM AND PROBABLY HAS A DISABLED PLACARD FOR HIS CAR ALSO.
STILL, SINCE WE STILL ARE IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON, ALWAYS BELIEVE THE BEST AND NEXT TIME HOLD THE DOOR FOR HIM
Alright, alright...but he wasn't limping or anything.
