I just received your private message:

You appear to have pretty thin skin.

Worked in Atlanta for almost a year and lots of business in Knoxville and Chattanooga.

I just can’t picture the miscreants he encountered as being suave southern gentlemen.

I do have a very low tolerance for a$$holes. Nothing personal. I can’t stand any middle aged teenagers. You just happen to be only one. You are so not alone so please dont feel like you are. There are many just like you.

Good situational awareness and glad you’re ok. One question, what does “missing on one cylinder” mean?

Move.

I live near a small town where you don't have to lock your car. Haven't locked my house in years.

Lots of Amish/Mennonites here, the real ones who speak German and dress in black with horses and carts. Best people on the planet.

We have almost no crime in this town. Someone up the holler in town bought a Kia. Within a week, it was stolen. It was found in a campground in town when the kids abandoned it because they didn’t know how to drive but they did know how to use the internet. It turned out to be some kids in a trailer park goofing around. The cops told their moms “Take out life insurance on them because they have a death wish”.

You might want to carry some police grade pepper spray...

Good grief! In the South we carry more decisive stuff than bear spray. We carry various forms of lead spray.

I’m getting a smaller one.

Don't bother with anything less than 9mm. My cute little wife packs a Kimber Compact Carry II .45 ACP with a Crimson Trace laser spotter. She practices too.

I means that when the guy started his car up it was obviously running very rough.

OK, you win with the insult game. Hope you feel good about yourself.

Thanks for not calling me a “fucking dickhead” again. That really crushed me.

Every Southern child of any upbringing whatsoever hears adults called "sir" and "ma'am" by other children and adults of every station in life as soon as they go out in public. It's part of the culture, even if their own parents didn't teach or expect it. Much of the US military comes from the South or serves in the South, and those honorifics are expected of them. My family was working class, and it was required in our house of both boys and girls.
