Holding the door open for someone is one of the few gestures that will put a smile on someone’s face. However, there are instances where this act can lead to a slightly awkward scenario, especially when the person is not in close proximity to the door. Even individuals like Serena William have found themselves in such situations, as she candidly discussed in a recent post. 

Taking to ‘X’, Serena captioned the post, Thank you for holding the door open for me…. But if I’m a football field away please go ahead and go in… I don’t wanna rush- by the time I get there I’m sweating like crazy and stressed 🙈. Anyone feel me?” 

The former WTA Queen’s post garnered significant engagement from her fans, as is often the case. But adding to the conversation was another Willaims, her elder sister, Venus, added a touch of humor to the situation, playfully acknowledging the challenge of hustling through a door. Venus replied, Gosh I’ve been making the mistake to be hustling all this time?!”  This delightful exchange showcased the sisters’ shared sense of humor and camaraderie.

Oracene Price and Venus Williams went on a night out

The story took place when Venus Williams was young. She went for a night out with her mother, Oracene Price, and how that night turned out to be a crazy yet memorable one. Queen V said,  “I couldn’t take her to a nightclub. Although one time we went in Moscow. It was so funny, we were out. We didn’t have any money. So, we couldn’t actually get home. We made some friends, went to eat in the middle of the night, and managed to get home.”
