I once held the door open for Janeane Garofalo

[Yavin4]

She said, "Thank you", and I said, "You're welcome, Janeane". She seem surprised that I recognized her.

--On edit--

I also held the door open for Mila Kunis at a Starbucks. She said thank you as well, but I didn't let her get ahead of me in line though.

1. That's pretty cool. Also that she thanked you. I'm a woman who holds the door

for everybody, even if they're kind of far away from the door and it's awkward because they feel they have to hurry up and go through because I timed it wrong, in my fear of being impolite. Of course, some people treat me like a doorman/servant and walk through like royalty, without even acknowledging me.

2. I once held the door open for Johnny Unitas

He was also surprised that I recognized him. I said - "You're wearing a Superbowl Ring the size of a grapefruit - how could I not!".

Also - while we're on the topic, I hold the door open for just about everyone, male or female, who is within 3-4 steps behind me at a door. Not sure why but it just seems personable. Most everyone says "thanks" and we all move on with our day. Hope that's still allowed in the "who opens doors for whom" world.

3. So you hate poor and unfamous people and don't post about holding doors for them eh

4. I once held the door open for Katrina from 'Katrina and the Waves.'

They played at a small record store I worked at part time. This was when 'Walking On Sunshine' was on the charts.

She smiled at me, I nodded.

Then Janeane Garofalo kneecapped me for holding the door open for a woman.



That last part may not be true.

8. I can top that - Gordie Howe once held the door open for me.

At O'Hare Airport back in 1972. I was returning from my first leave after Navy boot camp. I'm going through the Airport in my dress blues and Peacoat. I had my seabag on my right shoulder so I couldn't see anything to the right of me. Someone opened the door and held it for me so I walked through and and set my seabag down to look for the bus. and right away I hear "Hey Gordie" and I turned around to see Gordie Howe the greatest Red Wing and perhaps the greatest Hockey player of all time holding the door.

14. I held the door open for Cuba Gooding Jr. once in LA

It was at a cafe on 3rd street next to the Beverly Center

15. I once let a door swing shut in a woman's face.

It was an accident and I felt like a real jackass at the time. You can imagine my relief when I recently discovered that it was the modern, enlightened thing to do.

16. Bob Dole once held an elevator door open for me. And then he stabbed me with his pencil.

Okay, half of that is not true.

18. Big problem...

Three years ago I held the door open for the Invisible Man.

I'm still holding it open because I can't tell if he's gone through it or not.
