Politeness Polka

You've done it before.


You're walking up the steps to go to the post office. You see someone inside, walking towards the door, so you move aside so they can come out of the door first. They do the same. So, you take a step towards the door in order to open it for them to come through. They do the same. You both gesture, through the door, that the other person should go first. You both laugh, and gesture again. It's a neverending dance in front of the door.


It's like the Polka - without the sweaty pits and accordion music.
