    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
