That's why it requires a learning curve.

When I walk I use a cane. I've noticed that people with like problems are easy with help from another "unfortunate".

I do, yes. It costs me so little, why not?

I open/hold doors for everyone.  Only once did a woman in a wheelchair fuss at me.  It didn't worry me much as I saw her frequently at a convenience store near an old workplace.  She was always unpleasant to everyone.  Her misery wasn't going to stop me from doing something I have done since I was a kid.

I typically use automated doors, though if I approach a door at the same time as someone else, I'll typically waive them through.

Normally, yes. I think most of us do anyway.

I always hold the door, and always say (as mentioned above), "You're welcome!", whether or not I'm thanked.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Yes, even car doors for my wife and daughter
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
