Contrary to popular belief hereabouts I am definitely female, and also elderly, and I automatically hold doors open for anyone coming through behind me or for somebody  approaching from the other side if I get there first. I also say thank you to anyone who does the same for me.

I am also female and I also do that, I also help anybody who is juggling baby, shopping bags and trying to find their car keys, or has a problem opening their car while holding large parcel, regardless of sex.  I have never been abused, on the contrary people are always very thankful.  I am thankful if somebody helps me.  🙂

However, if somebody would hold doors open for me and call me love or darl, while I would still thank them, it would be through clenched teeth LOL
