Yes, but the problem would come about if some school kid got suspended or keelhauled through social media for acting that way! That's a real world difference built on a personal opinion!
That recent discussion in the media about opening doors came about because a complaint was lodged and a staff member received a official warning for repeatedly opening a door! Apparently having the door opened by a male staff made a female staff member fell uncomfortable!
Not so long ago, well within our lifetime, not opening the door was a social disgrace!
