I think it's surprising just how far we've gone from that culture....few people...care anymore.
Years ago, we bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The only way to unlock the doors on this one is by using the key in the driver's door, then opening the door and hitting the door lock switch. Prior to this, we had a car with key holes on both sides. I used to open the door for my wife every time. When we got the jeep (and I still fuss about this on occasion) I told her, "they're killing chivalry and etiquette. I can't open the door for you anymore even though I want to." My wife is a gentle woman but she's no nonsense too. So she doesn't bother to wait. By the time I go to the drivers side and unlock the door, she just lets herself in rather than wait for me to walk back around. She's just too humble for that. Makes me think the engineers and designers working for Jeep in those days had no class at all.
