I was walking into Subway and this man clearly saw I was directly behind him and let himself in and shut the door on me - I hate such lack of manners and will not tolerate it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it’s common knowledge that when you are going into some sort of establishment and someone is behind you, and especially if they are directly behind you, that you hold the door open for them, wouldn’t you agree?

So me being me, swing the door open with such force that people sitting inside stare at me. I suppose the sight would be rather funny as I am 5′1″ and 90lbs. I storm up to the man and say “My god, your mother must be so impressed with the impeccable manners you’ve acquired!”

He looks at me like I’m crazy and rudely says “Excuse me?”, you know the type, you can imagine the tone, because of such I say, “you should be excusing yourself, you mannerless jerk, you clearly saw I was behind you coming in and you seemingly, intentionally opened the door just enough for yourself to get in”

“Well!” he says, “I didn’t know I was the doorman tonight little lady”

Can you believe the audacity? In the middle of a Subway??? (Mind you we are in West LA so I am not all that surprised)

So knowing this was going to go nowhere, I end the conversation with “You know what sir? I apologize, you are right, you are not the doorman tonight, tonight you are the shit under the doormat!” and I went on to order my roast beef sandwich.
