Ok, so I admit it I’m a small town girl. I grew up in a very small town. (<1000)  A place where it was like Cheers and everyone knew your name!

I was taught to always hold doors open for people if they are in a close proximity to the door. Always say thank you when someone holds the door open for me, and the obligatory your welcome when someone thanked me.  Over the years I’ve noticed how some people almost rush out of  a door rather then hold the door for a few seconds longer for someone.  To me it’s just its one of the common courtesy’s that I  always practice no matter how busy I am. I hold the door for everyone, male, female, in the city, weather etc etc…

So Canada I’m curious.  Do you hold the door open for people or is that just old fashioned? Is it ok to let the door slam in their faces?
