"Tom was brought up to use manners and say a polite, excuse me, thank you, hold doors open and to give way in pedestrian settings to ladies with children and prams etc. Increasingly, some of these entitled people sail through without so much as an acknowledgement. Makes Toms blood boil ..." Have to say Tom, there’s not much in life that doesn’t make your blood boil! | |||

When I open a door for someone or else supply a gesture of politeness, I expect a thanks, a smile - something….anything!

"Holding the door open for one person seems to cause the floodgates to open,and hey presto,your a doorman... People,not all, don't respond to courtesy,in fact the blank look if you say thank you or smile politely at someone is lost ... And that's across the age groups ....in some cases the older the worse they are these days "To be honest I'm such a go-with-the-flow guy that unless I need to hustle to an urgent appointment or get to a shop before it shuts I'm quite happy to hold the door for as long as there's traffic passing through it. :P | |||

"I don't get miffed if someone doesn't show gratitude when I hold a door for them And I probably don't always say please and thank you either Shoot me " Disgraceful. Consider yourself shot | |||

"I went into a church the other day and told everyone I was going to donate £100 to a box in there that was put aside for disabled children in my area. I also made sure everyone knew I was putting another £100 into the church repairs box. Nobody batted an eyelid! Then this little old lady came in and dropped a few coppers into the charity box! The priest was straight over thanking her and helping her to a seat, she got a cup of tea and everything True story! The world has gone mad ! "Well...it could have been the telling everyone bit, tbf...but nice of you to donate  | |||

"And a nuver fing On the tube last week (Victoria line) I stood for a pregnant lady as the train was packed. I said clearly in my noticeable and gritty northern drone “you need to sit in your condition” I made sure the other passengers were aware of my gallantry and colloquial northern politeness. But alas the lady wasn’t and I alighted at Green Park somewhat red and embarrassed." I believe the moral is I'd rather leave a pregnant woman standing... rather than see a fat girl sitting but crying..
and that's a joke before any of you start  | |||

"I held a door open at a shopping centre for a lady walking just behind me. Was gobsmacked when she snarled at me I'm perfectly capable of opening my own doors! I'd have held it for anyone to be honest but that was just so ungrateful. " It utterly amazes me the number of men this allegedly happens to. | |||

"I never expect a thank you, but admittedly when an elderly gentleman gave me a telling off for holding the door open for him, it left me annoyed." Sorry, it's just that I do not feel elderly (I know I have grey hair, but...) | |||

Yes, I probably shout at those people because tipping backwards in your wheelchair is a) scary, b) painful when you land and c) really fucking embarrassing. | |||

"If you're only doing the nice thing in expectation of some gratitude, you don't deserve the gratitude "It's like giving someone a gift then getting mad at them for not needing/wanting the thing and returning or exchanging it. | |||

"What is Tom's stance on when someone doesn't acknowledge that you've let them out of a junction, and they don't set 'thanks'?" Tom's from Essex, so he drives a souped up Ford Fiesta (can't afford a 1970s Ford Esc0rt) and so is oblivious to others trying to pull out of junctions | |||
