I'm surprised no one has mentioned people with strollers yet. Open doors for them. It sucks negotiating opening a door and moving a stroller through it, especially when there are two doors (ie. buildings with the outer door, an anteroom, and the door to actually get into the building).
Ha! Those double doors are a freaking bane to my chivalrous nature. I open the outer door for the missus only to have to endure letting her open the inner. Unacceptable, says I. My solution so far has been to shove her ass aside, clearing a path. Ignoring the bruises, it seems to work.
To the OP, I have problems with doors, too, but I think it's because I'm a lefty. (God's chosen people.) Some doors just refuse to open with pressure applied on their left side. Heh, I've face planted more than one thisaway.
