Having been mashed by more doors than I can recall, I am always happy to have someone offer to help. I think the newer mechanical doors are great, but they are not in very many places. So until they are, I really appreciate the help. People get my big smile too.

I'm always appreciative of someone opening a door for me, and take the opportunity to open doors for others whenever I can. I never see it as condescending when someone opens a door for me, and I've nearly lost the battle between heavy doors and my crutches plenty of times by myself (especially if it's really windy!).

I don't mind at all. I think it's a nice thing to do for someone and I always make sure I say "thank you." I will hold the door for anyone who is near the door, whether they are handicapped or not. What I don't like is when they don't even have the common courtesy to say thank you.

Not at all. I think its a wonderful and kind gesture.

I wish more people that are not disabled would hold doors open . I almost fell trying to open a heavy door while able bodied people behind me gave me dirty looks for slowing them down.

I like when people hold doors open for me even when (especially when?) I'm not having issues on that particular day. It's a nice gesture, and when I'm not vis. it's nice to know that people will still be nice if they don't know me, or take it into consideration if they do. When I've got my crutches it's very difficult to open certain doors (doors that open outward and don't have an automatic button are the worst!) and I really appreciate even "good deed" help.

I don't mind EXCEPT when people literally trip over me to do it or get MORE in my way to make a scene that they're helping me OR when my boyfriend is in the most logical and appropriate place to open it for me...he does so and they jerk it out of his hand. OK...so I guess sometimes I do

That is so rude! Good deeds actually need to be good! lol
