Doorman

The Doorman. When I´m in a shop and see people approach its door I rush forward and open it, this is not to be polite but I was a doorman at a posh hotel fr 25 years. I also opened taxi doors for guests and had an umbrella ready if it rained to shield from too much reality. A posh hotel is an artificial place everyone is polite to a guest and the staff mingling with the posh tend to ,when not working, take on an air of superiority which doesn´t go down well with the kitchen staff. My wife tells me to stop opening doors for all and sundry, but what can I do? If you train a dog to give paw, you can´t un-train it. 25 years as a doorman, the rich gave me a few shilling, now I get glances from women who think I´m patronizing them
