Yet they are the considerate, thoughtful and generous in nearly all situations.

In recent years being "disrespected" has been used by people to justify physical violence, loud inappropriate behaviour, even shootings. I would propose that we not assign too much importance on a stranger's disrespect. When I was bumped then verbally chastised for holding the door for a woman, I assume anyone watching would feel the same pity and sadness I felt towards that person. The last thing I would suggest is to engage the individual for disrespecting me.
