Am I the AH in this

[Just Plain Bill]

So the other day I was leaving a business that doesn't have automatic doors. I see a guy about half my age coming towards the door. He's not loaded down but he's got some stuff in his hands so I hold the door. As he walks by he mumbles something that my old, damaged hearing thought was thank you. I said you're welcome and I let the door go and head to my car. Almost immediately he explodes out the door and says you shouldn't do it if you are expecting a thank you for it! Now this is a short chubby young guy man bun and all. I realize he must not have said thank you and thought I was being smart by saying you're welcome. He starts walking out toward me still talking. I just interrupted him and said, "Son, does walking out toward me in this parking lot seem like the best idea you are going to have today?" That must have woke him up because he stopped dead in his tracks and retreated back inside.

Is this where we are today? Where simple common courtesy leads to confrontation? I guess I should have let the door shut in his face.

In all honesty, I say thank you to anyone who makes the effort to open a door for me. Common courtesy is long gone to most (not all) of the young basement dwellers

 

[ItBeMe]

That right there told you he was a Democrat and doesn’t know any better.

Common courtesy isnt dead. Its alive and well. Its just that more and more simpletards are made every day.

your response was the right thing to say.

Even if you had said "your welcome" in a smartass way because he didn't thank you the courtesy, he should have thanked you, so f him.
