Anyone else hate when people hold a door open for them?

All I ask is please don't pick up the pace when I'm holding a door for you. It's ok. No need to rush. I already decided I'm committed.
What the fuck? No?
Also, you're annoyed cause you have to thank someone for doing something courteous? Wow that sounds really hard for you

You think that's bad OP? Just this morning I went through the McDonalds drive thru for a coffee and this smug asshole working the window thanked me and then had the nerve to tell me to have a nice day. I'm still trying to get over it.
I wonder if we've ever had a "Don't wish me a nice day, it's none of your business" thread
EDIT:
I know you're joking, but holy shit at that timing.
you'd be happy in Japan then. I think it's seen as rude to hold doors open for people.

I'm not an introvert at all I just don't like feeling like I have to thank a stranger for something I didn't ask or want them to do.
Ok, next time you are telling me you don't say "Good morning/day/night" to the bus driver, and "Thanks" when you get out, either?
I was the most introverted person in my psych class by far when we did that test and I never once thought like this for someone opening a door or holding it for someone else. This is just "why can't you be normal" bullshit.
On the anti-social scale, this is way up there.
I've never even given it a second thought.
View it as someone actually respecting you enough to do such a thing.

I agree OP, and I actually thought everyone else here would agree too lol. I hate when people open doors for me and I don't do it for other people because of that.
In this day and age where we hear so much negativity about our fellow human beings, I'm glad to see that people can still show a bit of kindness here and there. Especially when I'm carrying a child and bags. To me, that's pretty rude if you won't hold a door open for someone coming in right behind you.
I hate it too.
I had this leadership training when they explained us that holding doors is a sign of power. And passing the door when another person hold is for you is a sign of submission. Obviously, not all people does it for these reasons, but after that i always hold the doors and always refuse to cross the door if someone holds it.

Its a little weird OP. Just relax.
(Though, Im kinda with you....Id rather just go on about my business myself, but its totally fine).

How do you feel about people wishing you a nice day?
What's there to hate though?
Only time I mind is when there's two doors going into a restaurant and only 2 people entering that leads to what I've begun calling "leap frogging" to my partner.
Don't hold open the first door for me, and then I have to hold open the second door for you. It's just silly.
Other than that, I'm in the South and it's common practice.

Yes. And what's with these people that ask how I'm doing or say "Good morning" when I come into work? Uhhh, how about, FUCK. YOU.
Next time I'll hold the door just long enough where it takes you more effort to wait and open the door yourself.

Yes. There have been multiple "isn't fake positivity shitty?" threads where people complain about small talk/politeness.
I'm introverted and this goes beyond being introverted and just being miserable
Usually I'm ok with it, but it does bug me when I'm like 50 feet behind someone and they stand there and hold the door open. Feel like I have to rush.
Maybe you should just move to the woods, they got no doors there.
