Try finding a guy under 40 who will help you on with your coat or hold a door open for you...and good luck with that.

It is not just the men!!!

I am well beyond 40 and still hold doors for whomever may be directly behind me or trying to come in.

Held the door for some woman few years ago and she kind of ‘bumped’ me and snarled “You don’t have to hold the f’n door for me because I am a lady”.
I replied “No one said you were a lady, I held it because I am a Gentleman”.

And she was ‘old’ enough to know the custom.

Heh.. Whenever I have a similar encounter with someone who is needlessly rude I try to push out a loud fart, or at least belch. If I got no gas handy (a rare thing at my age), I just work up a loud snot hocker and spit it on the ground - - especially funny if the person is walking away. ...Whatever I can do to show my respect.
