Am I the AH in this

My former boss would get pissed if someone respectfully called her "mam". She was in complete denial of her older age, lol.
Mine too! Yep, ‘ol Bob hated being called “ma’am”. Obviously, this was a long time ago. I mean, pronouns? SERIOUSLY??? Pronouns are SO yesterday. Thank God we’re getting rid of these antiquated identifiers. I mean, Bob was a decent boss, I guess but he’s absolutely kickin ass in the female arm wrestling league. Back in the day, they wouldn’t even have let him compete! We were such barbarians in 2019.
 
So the other day I was leaving a business that doesn't have automatic doors. I see a guy about half my age coming towards the door. He's not loaded down but he's got some stuff in his hands so I hold the door. As he walks by he mumbles something that my old, damaged hearing thought was thank you. I said you're welcome and I let the door go and head to my car. Almost immediately he explodes out the door and says you shouldn't do it if you are expecting a thank you for it! Now this is a short chubby young guy man bun and all. I realize he must not have said thank you and thought I was being smart by saying you're welcome. He starts walking out toward me still talking. I just interrupted him and said, "Son, does walking out toward me in this parking lot seem like the best idea you are going to have today?" That must have woke him up because he stopped dead in his tracks and retreated back inside.

Is this where we are today? Where simple common courtesy leads to confrontation? I guess I should have let the door shut in his face.
Should have shot him as he approached!! **** him and his bitchass man bun

It's been "going downwards" for decades. I stood for a "lady" to have a seat on a bus at UGA in 1986 and I got cussed like a yard dog for my troubles.

I still will hold a door open for a lady or someone with an armload of stuff. I may also ask a very old joke question when they pass, "Hey, do you have a match?"
