Door Etiquette
i hate it, especially in an office tower downtown with glass doors inside a busy hallway. if you reach the door first, you have to make a judgment call on whether to hold the door open based on how far away the other person is. then you either feel that pang of guilt if you didn't hold it open, or annoyed at having to sit there holding the door if they're a slow walker. and i hate being on the other end, i'd rather open my own damn door than have to speed up if someone is holding a door open for me. and god forbid if you both come from separate directions and reach the door at the same time, then you get the awkward confusion as both people try to be courteous
revolving doors make things so much simpler
