I was waiting for my daughter and her friend who had gone to a concert (comedy guys from "whose line is it anyway"). The door kept closing on people coming out so I walked up to the door and stood there holding it open. When I noticed people thanking me (and not thanking me) I decided to determine the percentage of people how are polite and thanked me for holding the door, including people who acknowledge me in other ways like bowing, waving or smiling at me. I was surprized by the results. Best Answer goes to the person who guesses closest to the actual percentage of polite people.

Probably about a third of the people said thanks or gave some other form of acknowledgement; I hold open doors too.
