'Dr. Marvin Monroe's Guide to Etiquette'

on my way to class today, I approached a set of double doors connecting the G.G. Brown and H.H. Dow buildings and opened the one on the right (as I always do) to find several people also wishing to pass through the doorway from the opposing side. of course, I politely held the door for them (even though we actually drive on the right side here in the US), and they thanked me. people continued to file through the door, and continued to thank me, at which point I realized I was holding the door for an entire campus tour group. an awkward position to say the least, but I waited for a gap and made my way through, careful to not let the door hit anyone, and also 'excuse me'-ing as a cut across. I don't know that I've ever had such an odd door-holding experience as this before.

along these lines, I found an interesting piece on urban etiquette.

*please note: deeg. is undergoing a slight makeover! the sidebar has been upgraded thanks to inspiration from some people I know. a parade of minor tweaks is also underway, so be sure to take a closer look around the place, if that's your sort of thing.
