11/11 - Hold the Door

I'm pretty sure there was a NYC Tips and Etiquette about this.

Working in the office, I come across this situation a lot, and I'm sure a lot of people do too -- holding the door for someone.  Sometimes the other person is farther away than you thought, and you're stuck awkwardly holding a door while they're stuck awkwardly hurrying up to minimize inconvenience to you, and nobody really wins.

Usually it's pretty clear cut -- someone is right behind you and you smile and give the door an extra shove.  Sometimes though, it's hard to tell how far away someone is, and you either end up with the hurry-up situation, or letting the door close on someone who was a lot closer than you thought they were.
