Giles ,'Selfless'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
I also have the XF in my queue. How far in the series is it worth to watch before it jumps the shark?
I'd say up to season seven, personally. But then you get stuck with a crap cliffhanger. Although I'm not sure if it ever gets much better after the post-S5 movie.
SMG talks about having been Buffy ... and some stuff about a guy named Freddie.
A guy who opens doors for women is auto-"genuine"? What is this, 1686?
I wouldn't say auto-genuine, but it is always nice to know someone is paying attention to someone other than themselves. For me, this is true for anyone, male, female, romantic interest or otherwise.

What is this? Big Lie-Speak for something that stopped being expected practice in the last 25 years?

This. Enough people seem incapable of sharing a sidewalk with the other humahhns, that politeness seems strange these days.

Yes. It is pointless, and annoying.
(I didn't mean politeness, but the lack thereof.)
Never mind, P-C clarified.

I don't even know what that means.
But I'll take my confusion as a point to clarify: When you're walking through a door, you hold the door open for the person behind you, whatever... great.
But when you get in a situation like opening the car door for someone... which necessitates jumping out of your side of the car and jogging around or running up to the car and opening it... it seems to me we're regressing. Where's the self-independence and the advances of the femininist movement over past decades? It's all powdered wigs and carriages, suddenly. What up.
And I complain because I've seen this attitude before in a much smarmier way than SMG was putting it. I.E. the "I expect people to open doors for me" mentality. Yes, and I expect you to have arms.

The number of times I've had to either deal with feeling like I'm holding up the door-opener, or sprint to make sure I don't, I don't see an automatic upside.
If they're near and I'm going to have difficulty with the door -- much appreciated. As is checking to make sure the timing of not holding it open for me doesn't mean it's shutting right in my face.
Yep, ita, I was assuming that you were walking with, or near someone. I don't see the point if someone is far enough away that the door won't hit them, unless their hands are full.
