Dear Queenie,
Last time I was at the Government Building a man who was walking ahead of me stepped aside and motioned for me to go first through the door, so I ended up ahead of him in the Receiver’s line.
It doesn’t seem fair that he should have to wait longer because he was so polite.
Queenie, what do you think?—Chivalry Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
I think you could have offered to let the gentleman go ahead of you in the Receiver’s line, but even if you did, he might not have accepted your offer.
Am I being cynical for thinking that if you are an attractive young (or even no-so-young) woman he might have been enjoying the view from behind you?
