I hate rudeness. Can't stand it. So I pushed the button for the 3rd floor and stepped back. I'm sure he assumed that I pushed the button for the 2nd floor and he was mightily pissed off when we arrived at the 3rd floor. He said, "I said 2!". I looked at him and said "Next time try "Please"."
This kind of crap is getting more and more common. Last week I was going into a restaurant and held the door open for two couples. No one said "thanks". Not a word. They acted like I was their f*cking door man. I'm so tired of this.

I couldn't agree more. Pisses me off. The other day leaving a Jamba Juice, I held the door open for an attractive women as I was leaving. You could tell she thought she was the best thing since sliced bread and that holding the door open for her was my job. She didn't say a word, didn't smile, nothing. I asked my partner if she said thank you and he said nope. Well because our bikes were parked right outside the door, I waited for her to leave and told her "I was always taught that when someone holds the door open for you, the correct response is thank you". She looked at me with this stupid look on her face and said "OK" She really didn't get it.
