Good for you. I've started holding doors for anyone behind me, (man/woman/child/thug/whatever), if they are even close. It eliminates the whole awkward "should I or shouldn't I have" deal and I've been pleasantly surprised by (most of) the response. You have to almost feel sorry for someone like that woman who is so insecure or unsophisticated not to know how to handle an everyday situation. "Thank you" is such a one-size-fits-all solution.
