Considerate

This might be a hatepost, but lawd if I am not surrounded by INconsiderate folks in this town!

I am always irked when people don't hold doors, for myself or anyone else.  Maybe it's because I was raised in the South, maybe it's because I was raised Black, but not holding doors open for folks, but especially females and elders was subject for some dirty looks and a scolding if you caught the wrong person. It remains one of my biggest pet peeves.  You are not in that much of a rush as to not be able to hold a damn door open five more seconds.  And if you are, yell "Sorry!" over your dam shoulder.

I don't know if it's just the rain or the gray days that all blur together, or the fact that I'm so far from Southern Hospitality that there seems to be a lack of consideration nowadays, at least in the circles I run in.  And maybe I need to do a bit of trimming of those circles.  Hmm.....
