Chivalry is dead.
I see this over and over. One person, entering or exiting a public establishment, holds the door for another, then gets offended if there is no display of gratitude. A sarcastic you're welcome (or something more explicit) from the first party punctuates the encounter. I watch, stunned, as the courteous gesture is nullified by the discourteous comment. I like to think that people hold doors because they are the kind of people who hold doors, not because they expect recognition for it. Conversely, I try to be the kind of person who always says thank you, because you never know who you're gonna get.
