Ignorami... I like that.
I guess, what irritates me the most about it is that they expect me to hold the door for them.
This afternoon, I was sitting at the reference desk, which is right in front of the door and this lady in a hover-round (the little electric wheel chair with a horn) actually sat outside the door looking at me--waiting for me to get up and open the door for her even though there's a handicap 'button' right next to door that opens it automatically. There's no way she missed it as the button was right next to her head. So, I opened the door, no small feat since there's no handle for me to grab it from the inside. I got nothing-- no "thanks," no polite nod...nothing.
The really sad thing was that there were people waiting behind her to get in. They could have just as easily pushed the door open a bit to get her going, but they just stood there waiting for me to play the door-man.
