Shortly after posting that this morning I had the situation where I was a good 20 feet behind another guy who didn't even know I was there. He opened the door and didn't hold it for me (I had no problem with this). However, this is a badge secured door so I started to do a quick burst to get there before it closed.
The guy heard something looked back, saw me, and then it was a race back to the door since he decided the politeness required he beat me to it so he could hold it open for me.
That's was the door holding version of the person who decides to decline right-of-way at a four-way stop. Sure, it seems polite but it just makes everything awkward.
