I usually hold the door open if they're close enough. If they're far away I swing the door open as far as it goes and usually they'll make a mad dash to get in before it shuts.
If they're a few steps behind me, always. Any farther, and I feel it's rude to the other person since you're making them feel as though they need to run.

Yep, I always see that when people are holding it for other people. Kind of funny
Pretty much always. I get annoyed when people are right in front of me but don't hold the door. Or when guys don't hold it open for girls. Makes me want to give them a massive wedgie, for some reason.
Sometimes, but I really hate it when they say thanks.

You hate it when they thank you? I don't like being thanked by people I don't know. Don't ask why, I can't give you an answer, I'm always just like "eh.."

Wedgie? Wedgies are the thing when you are teasing someone. Maybe a slap on the head to knock some sense into 'em?
I do and they almost always say thanks... Sometimes it's awkward when they do it for me - if I'm a little ways off I feel like I need to hurry all of a sudden cause they're waiting for me.

A slap to the head might work to disorient them enough so that I can give them the wedgie. I might be able to incorporate that.

Well you don't need to, you can just give them a nod, that's what I do, just acknowledge their thanks. Oh I always say "You're welcome or no problem." But I hate doing it. Feels like a chore..

That made me laugh :P
But, more onto the subject: I guess it might work to knock some sense into them, and also their family Jewels.

But doesn't it make you feel like a chauffeur? Sometimes it make me feel like one when i'm opening a car door for multiple people :S

Well to an extent that is the purpose. I like instilling the idea that I'm trying to take care of and serve the individual. However, I rarely do this if there is more than one individual riding with me (aside from the door behind the driver's seat).

But, I guess it is kind if you are riding with more than 1 person, to open the door for them to get in.
I have and always will hold and or open the door for strangers. It bugs me when people dont aknowledge it though. Whats wrong with saying two words, Thank you?
