What do you think about me going to extra lengths to hold doors open for old men to spite my entitled mother even though she's in another state?
Why would you do that to your mother?
It's my way of getting attention.
You shouldn't do something just to spite another person, you may end up regreting it in the end. However, holding the door open for another person is a kind and decent gesture. You should be sure to do this gesture with good intentions.
Alright, I can do that. Maybe I'll throw in a smile for a new year.
It's nice of you to hold the door open for other people and I'm sure the appreciate it.
