Two Birds With One Door

While trying to leave a shop in Sauchiehall Street I was walking out through the door and a young lady appeared at the door to enter.

Rather than continuing to walk in front of her to get past her which I feel is rude, I backed up to hold the door open for her and allow her to pass me.

In doing so, I backed into an old woman who was standing looking at a shelf display, nearly knocking her over, and in my panic of nearly breaking an old woman’s hip my hand slipped from the door and the door closed back onto the lady battering into her. Once I saw no-one was seriously injured I got out of there as quickly as possible without looking back.

They say that chivalry is dead, well maybe it should be.
