Take on the door hold

Chivalry isn't exactly dead but I definitely thing some of them have to be looked at.    One of them is the crazy situation when a guy and a girl walk up to a door that pushes in..  The dude either has to cut the woman off to push the door open and then hold it once he gets inside OR he has to do that awkward holding door thing where he's standing outside but pushing the door open with his arm over the threshold.   
What is even more awkward and isn't exactly chivalry is when two people come to a door at the same time.. I think it should be pretty obvious that the person who has the door swing open his way should be the one who gives way..  This happened to me today as I walked out of a restaurant and the dude walking into the restaurant opened the door and walked right in.. First of all this means that the two of us get squeezed into the tight front hallway where we have to do this gay-man shuffle to get past each other having to decide between the equally awkward unit-to-unit, ass to ass or unit to ass shuffle position..  PLUS it also means that there is no way he can hold the door open which means I get both felt up and a door slam into my face.
