In busy cities, the culture of holding the door open should disappear because it often causes inconvenience rather than politeness. For example, in buildings with heavy foot traffic, once a person holds the door open, they may be stuck holding it for tens of seconds as many people keep walking through. This slows down movement and puts unnecessary pressure on both the person holding the door and the people passing by. In crowded urban spaces, efficiency should matter more than outdated social customs
>>221420392ngl it actually does cause more of an inconvenience than assistance most of the time
>>221420392>once a person holds the door open, they may be stuck holding it for tens of seconds as many people keep walking throughthe next person holds it for the person behind them, that's typically how it works. is social altruism non existent in korea?
>>221420392You only hold the door for one person then they hold it for the next person etc
>>221420425It's very inefficient, isn't it?
>the thirdie mind cannot comprehend the idea of holding doors openkek no way
>>221420425Just ignore that gook. He's just a stupid incel
>>221420440no it's a commonplace nicety >>221420470ah, okay then
>>221420404you got the point
>that awkward moment when someone is too far to hold the door for them without waiting for several seconds but also too close to let it close. I just realized close and close are the same also
In high school when we used to go to the mall we would hold the door open for people who were really far away as a prank and they would rush to get in and politely thank us while clearly being annoyed. Good times.
>>221420532> low moral gaijin exploits social norm
>>221420532I hate being forced to do that little jog so much
When I was holding the door for the people coming behind me at the department store, about a dozen people just passed through.Once I was holding the door for a young woman coming behind me in Hongik University and she looked at me with a suspicious eye and went through another door.In Korea, there is no culture at all that cares about the people who come behind.They are just agricultural people who live in cities.
>>221420392>Easterners wont even hold open doors causing nuisance>This is the low moral reality of asia
>>221420639are you a gaijin
the point isn't to make sure the door is kept wide open at all times as if you are a servant whose job is to hold the doorthe polite custom is merely to avoid letting the door close behind you right in someone's faceeven if you just give it an extra shove so it swings open slightly farther
>>221420902you can just use your own hands
>>221420916it shows spacial and social awareness to know that there is also someone behind you who will be coming through the door as wellit's like when you're driving a car, and you don't only watch in front of you, you also watch in the mirrors to know if someone is driving behind youif you only watch in front of you at all times, other drivers will think you are stupid and a bad driver
>>221420902>avoid letting the door close behind you right in someone's faceskill issue, I've never gotten hit my face since I was in elementary school
>>221420392If there's someone coming behind me, I'll just open the door wide so that it won't shut on anyone's face. I won't stay there holding it, it's a little akward seeing some people wait while holding the door open
>>221420392you only open the door it it's a beautiful woman, retard
>>221420440No? It would be inefficient and slow to let the door close when people are constantly walking through it.To be completely honest /int/ has made my opinion of Asians plummet, they all seem like retards.
>>221421816someone should move another step and pay attention the one they've never seen before. It's an energy consuming practice
>>221421816there is a reason why Korean don't have the culture, and you stupid gaijins would not understand it
