oh, another thing from yesterday
i was running late (which is bad for an interview - i got there at exactly 1:00), so i was zooming to the building from the ramp. i got to the door, and two black men (it doesn't matter that they're black, i'm just assuming you'd all assume they were white, so i'm clarifying to better set the scene, and because it made me even happier) were standing there talking. they started to head inside, and one very kindly opened the door for me. as i approached the second door, the other one said from behind me, 'don't you even think about touching that door!' and so i didn't and let him open it, and thank you sir-ed him. i of course had to keep rushing, but afterwards i felt bad that i couldn't have talked with them a bit after them being so kind, and at the beginning of the interview, when one of the women was telling me about the organization/position, i kind of spaced out a bit thinking how nice it was of both of those men, and how fun it was to have the second man order me to not open the door. it's the little things, you know. :)

I truly appreciate a nicely held door. Shows there are some gentlemen left in the world...
so do i.
not only that, but this story also shows how convenient teleportation would be.
if a guy does not hold the door open for me, he's automatically scratched off the potential-husband list
did - provided i teleport outside of where i want to go so men can hold doors for me
well, of course. what i was referring to was the fact that you were hurrying.
Again, didn't you read HP6? Dumbledore explained that it's quite rude to apparate directly into someone's home. You have to give them the opportunity to deny you entry.
this was going into a business/hospital-type place. obviously i wouldn't apparate directly into someone's home.
