re: Do you wave to or otherwise acknowledge someone who allows you into traffic?

If your cars steering, throttle, and brake are all controlled by your hands, you probably should not be taking one off to wave.

A few days ago I was going into a 7-11. This heavyset troll of a woman, about 55 years old was about 15 feet from the door, heading toward it. I stopped and waited for her, then held the door open for her to go in.

Well, Princess saunters in with no thought of a thank you, or any kind of acknowledgement whatsoever. I said "You're welcome". She turned and looked at me with that look that let's me know she is wondering WTF is wrong with me.

I just left. I did not escalate, but think I could have taken her with a good left hook. Sorry my story does not have a cool ending.

more often than not people are appreciative but the heavyset black woman with 5 kids walking into a Canal Street Mcdonalds a couple years back got me real good. gave her the standard "youre welcome" after i held the door for her and each member of her flock and she turned to me and said "no YOU welcome"
