    Yeah, but social punishment for rudeness is how you get a world where strangers are polite to each other

    Bwahaha sure it is… look at what the OP posted…Do you think this event made the OP polite?

      Yes? Obviously? Someone else got mildly publicly embarrassed for not being polite to a stranger

      As someone who does the little things like hold the door for others, I think to myself “okay, asshole” every time doesn’t acknowledge it. It makes me just a little more hesitant to do it in the future

      When someone does get called out for it, it’s incredibly vindicating. Even seeing it second hand is validating

      There’s such a thing as a good Karen. Society does need Karens, but we need them to call out people making the world a worse place in little ways like this

          No? I just expect acknowledgement. Just a little head nod or basically any sound

          I’m not a doorman. I’m holding the door so you feel like you’re in a slightly friendlier world, I didn’t have to do this. I don’t expect others to do it for me, but my day gets a little better when they do.

          These little interactions are how a society feels friendly. It’s the fabric of civilization

          When you walk through like you’re entitled to have doors held for you, then fuck you. You’re snubbing someone trying to make the world a slightly friendlier place
