I'm 50 ft away. Fuck you I'm not walking any faster. Agree? Disagree?
Then tell them to go on ahead if you're not willing to cooperate. I've held doors open for people and often they will show appreciation, then there's those who won't even look at me and say nothing. I usually don't make a big deal out of it as I don't want somebody else's BS to ruin my mood, though there will come a time when I preach on these fools.

In the context of what the OP is talking about, yeah, it's a dick move to hold the door open for someone several feet away. All you do is make things awkward because if the person walking doesn't speed up then he looks like a dick.

I'll hold the door open if someone is right there, but if I have to pause for a few seconds then nah. They can figure out how to open the door when they get to it.

I only hold doors open for the hottest latinas

Seriously.

If its a woman or someone in clear need of help (elderly or someone carrying something) then I might go the extra mile to hold the door open even if they are a distance away. But if the person is less than a couple of steps away after I'm done with the door then fuck that, they can reopen the door themselves.
 
Only gays hold the door for other men. I like to make a point of how straight I am by pulling the door closed a little faster than it would normally close if there's someone coming up behind me.
I hold it open for men to show them I think they’re incapable of opening it themselves. It can be very emasculating for your target if executed correctly.

I carry an emergency inflatable door to drop behind me in case I need to feel especially polite and civilized towards people following me.

I hold the door for my wife but for other people depends on distance and circumstances.

I don't hold the door. The door holds me. What am I?

A revolving door.
