CULTURAL CHANGE, Nr.1

Time-lapse responses to a man opening a door for a woman.    
    
1950s        Thank you.    
1960s      Thank heavens there are still some gentlemen around.    
1970s      Oi!  I hope you’re a fully paid-up member of the Door-Openers Union.    
1980s      (BLAM!)  You pig-ignorant tosser. D’you think just because I’m a woman I can’t open a door by myself?    
1990s      Blimey!  How the hell am I going to monetise a throw-back like this?    
2000s      Oh, how fascinating. Are you a robot demonstrating the latest biomimicry tech-innovation?    
2010s      Wow!  That is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Can we do it again so my friend can film it on her iPhone and post it on Instagram?    
2020s      Yeah at last!  I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I transitioned. Btw, cool mask you’re wearing.    
2030s      Well thank you for that random act of kindness. I’d love to take you out for a coffee but ever since digitised-only money came in, they can track me when I’m not in the office.    
2040s      Quick, shut the door again. There’s a hunger-gang coming round the corner.    
2050s      Oh, so you’re one of those centenarians are you - born in a different era. It’s nice to see someone upholding old traditions.
