I just read on Facebook where one of my daughter's friends complained about how rude people can be when you hold open doors for them and they don't even acknowledge you for it.
It reminded me of something that happened to me many years ago. As I was entering a doorway into a store, I held the door open for a lady following behind me. She very loudly announced that "She was perfectly able to open her own doors!"...So, being the gentleman that I have always been.... I went on through the door...then held it closed ...and told her " Find your own damned door Bitch...this one's mine! The standoff lasted quite a few minutes until someone else came up to enter.
The pictures shown here are from one of my early morning jaunts out to take pictures in the early morning mist
Awesome photos. I love the spiderweb how it all shows up wonderfully. I like the header photo. Lovely family you have.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Toodie, Dave; your photos are beautiful, especially the one of your family! Regarding your story, I not only appreciate the kindly gesture when ANYONE opens a door for me, I do that for others, as well, regardless of age or gender. Kindness and cosideration are never out-of-line.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that gentlemen like you still walk the face of planet Earth. It's too bad that not everyone appreciates their courtesy.
Enjoy this beautiful autumn day!
Dave, gorgeous photos! A real pleasure to see.
ReplyDeleteI have always been fortunate and appreciative of the door being held for me. I always thank them and smile REAL big. I so enjoyed seeing you all as a family. Hugs to all of you.
Thank y'all for the kind comments. Kind puts one in the mindset of "a thorn between two roses".
ReplyDeleteGreat family shot! You just never know when common couetesy will be interpeted as a demeaning gesture though I have to say I like your style!
