When folowing someone through a building with multiple doors it is aways uncomfortable saying thank you from the third occasion onwards that they hold the door open for you.
slugpoo on Fri 09 May 2008 said... never speak to the person you're following, until it gets very dark.
TheGunt on Fri 09 May 2008 said... it's always uncomfortable saying thank you on any occasion
buzzybelew on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Especially if you're chasing them with an axe.
HeroicDose on Fri 09 May 2008 said... It's worse if you jump into the same section of the revolving door and press your erection into their back.
chinky on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Ha! I had a conversation recently about the acceptable protocal with regards to multiple door following. I propose that you should say thank you after the first and last door only.
TheDuke on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Im socially retarded so i'd start sweating after the first door and be swearing by the third and escorted out of the building by the last. How many doors are we talking baout anyway? What kind of building?
HeroicDose on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Chinky, if you don't know how many doors there are going to be then should you thank them in advance for the last door that you will encounter together?
TheDuke on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Why am I in this building again?...and who the fuck am i following? What the hells going on. Please don't make me hurt them. *reaches for happy-place-pills*
buzzybelew on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Always wear a sinister hood when following people.
TheDuke on Fri 09 May 2008 said... ...and a mini-balaclava over your bell-end.
MitchBuchanan on Fri 09 May 2008 said... 'thanks', 'cheers' and then 'ta' for first, second, and third doors
cockend on Fri 09 May 2008 said... How about fuck off and die after the 10th.
echobeach on Fri 09 May 2008 said... How about opening the door for THEM once in a while.
ahknowme on Fri 09 May 2008 said... Actually, on a point of etiquette - when holding a door open for someone to pass though, and they don't thank you... can you stab them in the back? Or if several people follow them, all of them saying thank you... how many are you meant to allow through before you block the doorway and say 'Let me through now, you piss taking cunts?' I've never been sure... so I just tend to stand there and let them take advantage. Which is extremely bad for my self-esteem.
hijodeputa on Sat 10 May 2008 said... I find that if you give each one a hefty boot up the arse as they pass through, eventually someone will take the door from you and let you through first. Of course, you have to endure the inevitable boot up the bum yourself, but it beats holding a fucking door open all day
hijodeputa on Sat 10 May 2008 said... Or you can just scream *CUNT!* at them. Works the same as the above after a while, but your bum doesnt hurt afterwards.
hijodeputa on Sat 10 May 2008 said... PS - Try not to do either of the above at a state function or other such black tie occasion.
ahknowme on Sat 10 May 2008 said... But... I want to stab them. I can't help myself.
Walloonophobic on Sat 10 May 2008 said... The same applies when letting people with a couple of items go first in the supermarket when do you stop?
