I'm not trying **** you, you bitch.

So today it happened again. I stalled and waited for her to exit. I went through first, held the door until she got there and then let go. She called me an asshole as I was walking away

Well, that was a pretty assholish thing to do. I prefer the passive aggressive approach in those situations (drives me batty, too, when you hold the door and not even a nod): when that happens and they walk through, I usually say something like, "No, thank YOU for the privilege of holding the door for you." Effectively gets the point across that they were in the wrong.

What you did makes you look like an asshole for no reason, because you can almost guarantee she didn't remember you holding the door for her the first time, and she likely had no reason to believe she'd done anything wrong.
