Do Me a Favor?....

It's  really not  a favor when someone holds a  door for someone else who is  nowhere near it.

You know what I mean, that man or  woman many steps ahead of you, who holds the door as if they are doing you a favor.

It is a very polite gesture for someone who is actually on your heels, extending your arm and holding the door. But when someone is too many feet, or yards away it's no longer a favor.

It's an obligation.

Better yet, you might as well be standing there yelling,' RUN!'

When I see someone far ahead of me holding a door, I feel obliged to get there quicker.

Do me a favor? Don't hold the door for me.

I can handle it, and I would rather  arrive there at my own pace.

I don't run, so now I have to do the slow jog to make the appearance that I want to get somewhere fast. For what? For a hand in opening a door/

Do me a favor?

Don't.
