That's three times today I've held a door open for people and they've completely blanked me as they walk on by.
The next person to pull this s*** with me might find the door repeatedly slammed into their head against the frame.
Not really, I'm soft as s****.

I hate that. Same for when people don't acknowledge you letting them through or out in the car.

At work people just start talking at me or lean over me and start talking without saying "excuse me have you got a second" It goes on right round the place. Pisses me off at times.

Yeah, when people can't even manage a thumbs up or a wave as a gesture of thanks for letting them out in the car makes them come across as such a prick. The height of rudeness!

Are you the door opener? Aye, in Coventry! That's a thought, it must be bloody quiet in Coventry. |

If they don't say a polite thank you...You may get at them by giving a deep exagerrated bow..And if that fails click yer heels...If still no reaction go in the next day in a doormans outfit and drink strong tea. |

I've discovered excessive politeness is a way of controlling people. Works.

People who expect me to get out of their way are heading for a fall one day.
Why is it always me that avoids other people?
Classic sign of excessive deference is when someone stands on your toe in the cinema, you are the one who says sorry. I think its a British thing. If anyone tries it tonight, i'm hoying my diet coke at them.

I know what you mean but the extreme opposite really bugs me aswell. There are a couple of people at my work who'll just walk over, stand beside me and wait for me to ask what it is they want. I know some people are a bit shy but that's just pathetic. I'd be half tempted to just ignore them and let them stand there all day if I was cruel and petty enough. |

I don't want to come across as a xenophobe, but I've noted a correlation with being blanked at the door and the number of Americans working in the office.

Trust me, its not intentional but aload of Americans are straight to the point and dont fuss with over politeness. In some ways its refreshing but it can f****** grind my gears at times. Their phone manner is probably the worst thing in the world. Drives me crazy. Oh well! |
