Are you by chance in New York City where you were not born and raised?
Making eye contact with another New Yorker is grounds for a fight nevermind asking a New Yorker to move out of your way or give up their subway seat.
Me, I was born and raised in New York but left a long time ago and I am a gentleman in public believe it or not. Chivalry is not dead with me, I open doors for and step aside for and am always courteous with women. Men? They are men and do not care one way or the other. Only a women cares about stupid shit like that.
