Don't do that of course. But there's actually a more general pet peeve of mine...
You really ought to avoid door holding no matter how far the person is away. 1 foot or 15 feet, it doesn't matter. The only exception is when that person is very encumbered or holding something with both hands -- then it's nice of you to help.
People think door holding for someone behind them is polite, but you're actually wasting real seconds of your own and other people's time. Most often that other person would be able to pass several seconds quicker if it weren't for you slowing down everyone's momentum by standing in their path.
Pushing open an almost-closed door is really easy. So stop slowing everyone down for the sake of "politeness".
Alright, mini-rant over.
