the dudes who only open the door to a woman <snip> (there’s at least a 50:50 chance they’ll cut in front of said woman): instead of helping things move along, they stop them dead.

Ha!! Welcome to my world ladies!! Hahahaha!!! 
That’s what I was going to say!
What, you’ve met people who only open doors for you when they’re trying to get into your pants? The part you snipped is pretty important: people who customarily open doors for others know how to do it.
VWife does this to me. In return, when she does it, I turn my back to her and go somewhere else. This leaves her confused, and wants to know what I wanted to say. I respond along the lines of “If you know what I’m going to say, then why should I bother to open my mouth?”
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::rolleyes:
I can handle the OP. What makes me want to start busting caps is people who interrupt your answer to their question with another question.
When I read this part I thought you were talking about door opening, as in “When my wife holds the door open for me, I turn around and walk somewhere else.” Which is hilarious and a great way to mess with people’s heads!
I find it interesting that many participants in this thread, are talking about people finishing the speaker’s sentence, just with the last couple of words. I don’t experience that, so much as folk interruptingly diving in and finishing my sentence, long before my planned end of it. I’m not the most fluent of speakers, and sometimes while speaking, have to pause briefly for thought. Concerning the interrupters who bug me, I (probably paranoid-ly) pick up from them the message, “you poor useless conversational spastic, I’m putting all participants – and you – out of everyone’s respective miseries / embarrassments: I divine your train of thought, and am thus continuing and finishing your sentence much more quickly and economically than you could, you verbally-challenged cretin”. I feel offended and insulted by their doing thus – and much more so, because nine times out of ten, the interrupting know-all does not correctly divine my train of thought, and thus does not finish the sentence with what I wish to say. (This is the kind of thing which Nava and VunderBob seem to be referring to.) In these circumstances, for me it tends to be a case of “let it go by, and quietly seethe”; or “correct the person by going back to what I was trying to say, and likely make the scene more uncomfortable”.
There’s one person who habitually does this to me, from whom I can endure it with a fairly good grace. The lady concerned is a relation-by-marriage, who has the most extreme case of verbal diarrhea that I have ever encountered – and she does this thoughts-divining-and-sentence-finishing number to everyone, not just to me. She is a very sweet woman, boundlessly good and kind to all and without a malicious bone in her body: I can accept re the interrupting thing, that it’s “just the way she is”.
Reviving this thread to state that one person in my group finally blew the fuck up at this guy (the guy who finishes other people’s sentences) and said “Can you just let me speak!”
Finally. The fucking guy finishes everyone’s sentences, or if not says “Exactly!” after something he agrees with.
