It's about respect, if you open the door for someone it shows you respect their presence and acknowledge that they're in the same predicament as you and so you save them the work of opening the door by helping them. I don't see how your comment is a dispute, all you state is a solution to the case where someone ignores you completely. Side: yes

If someone is close enough behind me I will hold the door open. If it'll take longer than 5 seconds (at the pace of 1 Mississippi) then the door will not be held for them. It's simply something nice that I can do to hopefully give just one more positive event in their life. Even the small things count. Side: yes

You know i get it opened for me all the time but id hold it open that much, not because im not a gracious or courteous person but im a young fit male (hopefully not sounding too vain), i don't need the door opened for me, and i don't want it opened for me, often a person way up ahead will hold the door and then you have to hurry yourself in roder not to keep them waiting, its just stupid. If i see a person with something in their hands ill open the door, if i see a women i probably will as i like to think of myself as chivalrous, and if i see anyone who i think may have trouble opening it (e.g. elderly, handicapped etc. etc.) i will open it, but i think it this should be the exception, and not the rule, thats why i don't do it as a reflex like many, being courteous can be annoying when its taken to an extreme (at least it is to me anyway), like when you have a waiter in a bar standing next to you filling your glass back up every time you take a drink, just fuck off and give me some privacy you'll get your fucking tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah what a releif it was to get that out of my system. Side: No
