Okay, today I was leaving work carrying a computer monitor which was decently heavy (especially considering my upper body strength cannot take much more than the weight of carrying my coffee mug) and bulky if nothing else. So I am carrying this thing out the front door at work and I tell our receptionist that I cannot use the revolving door (which she prefers when it is so cold) b/c I am carrying this big ol’ thing. A guy is leaving at the same time (and hears me talking to the receptionist). Now I know, in this day and age, it is way too much to ask that this fellow offer to carry the computer for me, however, to get into the parking garage I have to go through two glass doors (and pull). The computer was getting heavy and I really wanted to stop and take a rest but I needed to stay with this guy so he could hold the door for me. He is like 8 feet in front of me AND THE DUDE DID NOT BOTHER TO HOLD THE DOOR FOR ME…a tiny woman carrying a big bulky monitor. I have to say, I find this very troubling. Sigh….
Just in case you didn’t know ,fellas…I know you have to live in a world tainted by all that women’s lib stuff and I know most, if not all, of you are perfect gentlemen. BUT just incase, know this: you should always let a women on the elevator first, you should always pick something up if a woman drops something, you should help her if she is struggling to carry or lift something and for the love of all that is sacred HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR A WEAK LITTLE WOMAN CARRYING A BIG ASS COMPUTER MONITOR!
