When traveling in the car, sometimes I open the passenger door for my wife, sometimes not. If I am entering a building, I open the door for her to walk inside and then enter behind. I don't usually hold the door for people walking behind me, unless they are immediately behind me and we are both at the door anyway.
Personally, I don't like it when someone who is more than a few paces in front of me pauses at the door and holds it open waiting for me to get there. I am a soldier in the United States Army. I can open the door myself, thank you.

Doesn't that just make your day?
Frug,
The reply in that situation is:
"Well, I am sure you can. But when someone holds the door open for ME, I usually just say thank you".
That has the double effect of taking the man/woman aspect out of the equation and reducing it to common courtesy as well as reminding them that they were being rude.
