Usually I hand off the door while walking in. Door falls and usually the person catches it. Everyone where I came from does that. Old, young, etc.

If that's the way y'all do it. Hopefully the second person going through the door is ready to catch it as it comes swinging back at them and doesn't have his/her arms full with a child or carrying a to-go container. I guess if everyone is used to it, they're ready.

But also I've been thinking about where you said people go through a common door and hold it behind them. Sounds like you're saying you don't even make eye contact with the people you pass let alone smile or nod. That is just sad.

I've a challenge for you, notty -
Your mission, should you choose to accept it is for just the next 5 times you open a door to walk through it with others is to open it, hold it open, FACE YOUR FELLOW SHOPPERS/DINERS/PARISHIONERS, and greet them with a smile or a nod of acknowledgement or a short greeting. (even if one time it's just for your own mother) Then report back to us how it went. What was the demographic of the people you held the door for? Did you brighten anyone's day or were they just confused or surprised? Did anyone return the smile or say thank you? Did anyone refuse your attempt? How did it make you feel inside? (okay, the first time might feel awkward - accepted) Do you think it's something you might do again on your own?

You seem brave enough to try. Looking forward to your report.

Why is it we never questioned how Ben Cartwright had three sons by three different baby mommas?

Men are allowed to do that, but women aren’t.

"Cartwright was originally the first mate aboard the ship of his first father-in-law who lived on the East Coast of the United States, presumably New England. He married Elizabeth Stoddard, daughter of Abel Morgan Stoddard, a sea captain. Elizabeth gave birth to his first son, Adam, but died in childbirth just hours after Adam's birth. While heading west, Ben was married to Inger, a native of Sweden. She was the mother of Ben's second son, Eric, who was nicknamed "Hoss" from birth. Weeks after, during a Native American attack, Inger was shot by an arrow while trying to defend the group by taking a dead man's gun and shooting. When Adam was at least twelve and Hoss was around six years old, Ben married Marie, a French American from New Orleans. Marie gave birth to their third and final son, Joseph, who was known as "Little Joe". Marie, however, was killed in a horse accident when Little Joe was less than five years old."

Widowers are still allowed to remarry. Widows are also allowed to remarry.

So someone came up with an entire backstory, eh?

I think I'll just add to that. The lady that ol' Ben was eyeing for his next bride caught wind of the first three and decided her life was worth more than being matron of half the state of Nevada. Rumor is she moved to California and married a Barkley.

I did some research. Found the word to describe it. It's called a "handoff" from what I can tell. You hand the door to the person behind you, especially if it's just one person. Most of the times that I remember it is, since usually big groups of people don't go in the gas station.
