Letting females through a door before you. I can't count the number of times I've opened a door in the company of khmer females only to have them hover and wait for me to go through first.
A girl friend of mine until very recently insisted on opening the door for me to let me go first.youngwill100 wrote:Letting females through a door before you.

That's because the local custom is for men to walk either alongside women or more typically, in front of them, never behind. They thus expect you to go first, open the door, and hold it open after you've gone through. Try walking behind a girl you know one day, it'll freak her out (a bit). Sorry for ruining it.

Going for a run in a group (hashing) definitely gets a reaction.
