Holding doors open for people is fine- it's polite and genuinely helpful. But please don't make me feel like I have to awkwardly run-walk because you've held a door open ten metres ahead of me. I am perfectly capable of opening my own door thank you very much.
People just love holding doors open. They love going past the door and having to make a massive outstretched effort to maintain it agape. They love doing that little peek over their shoulder to check you've sped up in an effort to relieve them of their self-inflicted twister-stance. And they love receiving that hurried 'cheers' that you have to give them, or else they'll tell all their friends that you're an ungrateful bastard.
