Interestingly, doing the gentlemanly thing can be taken for granted. Like the other day, for instance. I'd gone to meet my friend Shell at the train station and I opened the atrium door for her. Fair enough; but then a guy followed behind with a cast on his arm, so obviously I couldn't just walk away. Then someone in a wheelchair wanted to go the other way, so I moved to open both doors for him. By this time a couple of ladies had come up behind wheelchair guy, as well as some more people leaving the platform, and I remained holding it open until someone took what had now become a duty from me or a break in traffic appeared.
Most of the time I love being a gentleman, but these arseholes were just taking the piss.
