Ever see a Wet Mytical? (short)

[Mytical]

Things like this happened more often years ago, when I was about 20 or so, but in the last eight or so years it had gotten a lot better. This was the first negative reaction of that magnitude that happened since then. Though I did get some raised eyebrows, most people are/were nice about it.

I am sure others witnessed it, but honestly people like that are not worth the hassle. I won't stop being nice, and karma will get them.

I feel robbed.

I came to this thread expecting pics.

Anyway, that ... person ... deserves the next door slammed in her face.

Hmm...wonder if the Mods would allow a thread for RL pictures? *plots and plans*

[Andara Bledin]

There's a photo album floating around, somewhere.

It seems to have poofed, plus I sent my picture in quite awhile ago and it never did show up.

The woman literally screeched at me "I don't need a male pig to open the doors for me!"

"Okay!" *Slam the door into her...repeatedlty*

[Treasure]

I can open my own door just as well as the next person; I can also hold open a door for the next person.... nor do i mind when a door is held for me....

My bf and i have come to an agreement - I can get my own car door, etc when we go out to just go out, but when we are on a Date, then he can be a gentleman - NYE we were doing just this, and my dad was picking on me for "making BF open my car door" i had to explain that No we are a date, i'm LETTING him be a gentleman.... "Wait... Letting? or Making?" "Letting"

I don't get the car door thing. I'm not going to sit in the car while Fiance walks around to open my door. Especially not in the winter, when I just want to get inside as quickly as possible.

The idea is a hold-over from when doors didn't stay open on their own.

The gentleman would hold the door open so that they lady, wearing a skirt, would have both hands free to emerge from the vehicle in a dignified manner.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to get something else up and running instead. We have ideas.

"I don't need a male pig to open the doors for me!"

"Okay." *walks in past her, dripping wet* "Then open it your own goddamn self."

Is the word you're looking for chauvinist?

[Jester]

Had that been me, I would have given her my patented Icy Glare of Death, and quietly and evilly said, "No, you don't. But my parents raised me to be polite, and I hold doors open for everyone: men, women, the young, the old, and even horrible ungrateful rude assholes like yourself. But they also taught me not to take undeserved shit from people, so do the world a favor and go fuck yourself."

I often leave people with their mouth agape. There's a reason people don't tend to fuck with me twice, and it sure as fuck ain't my size.

As for the car door thing...I am a gentleman, but I don't always hold the car door open for women. There are a few reasons. First of all, most of the women in my truck are NOT my date, my girlfriend, or my wife. Secondly, most of the women in my truck, including if they are my date or my girlfriend, tend to be rather independent-minded and low maintenance, and short of a DATE date, it's a non-issue.

With my ex-fiance, it actually caused much confusion when I would try to get her car door when we were getting into the vehicle. I would walk around to the passenger side to get her door, and she, being British, out of habit would go to the driver side door, which is of course the passenger door in the U.K. So there we'd end up, both of us on the wrong side of the car, and almost always this ended in laughter. She got especially confused because I didn't ALWAYS do this, and since she didn't really drive (having spent the last ten years of her life in London where she didn't need to drive), we often played musical doors when attempting to get into my truck. (I promise you, it was a lot funnier in person than I have made it out to be in words.)

That's the word I was thinking of. This woman must've thought it was synonymous with 'chivalrous', though.

The mental picture is quite funny. I'm sure there are loads of British / American couples that happens to. (Hubby's stepsister married a British man; I'll have to ask them sometime if they've played Musical Car Doors.)
