Reply To: Are these young women nuts, selfish, out of it or something else?

I have noticed this as well.

I always hold the door regardless for the other persons gender. most goyim will always nod or murmle a thank you. But not all yidden will do so.

However, I think that it is not because yidden are rude, it is because we are isolated and were never trained that A) you should hold the door for the next person, B) it is polite and correct to acknowledge the fact that someone held the door for you.

Mothers, make sure to teach this to your children!
