Nobody anymore has respect for anyone anymore, and it drives me insane. What happened to opening doors for people, saying excuse me, not swearing at people during rush hour, allowing people to go before you, etc? It's all gone, and it's inexcusable. Sorry, but to me, respecting someone and their property is more important than walking away and looking like a weak fool.
A serious reply: Maybe there's some middle ground between beating someone for touching your bike and "getting walked on". Like, you could still succeed at life without beating up a dude for messing with your bike. It's a strange thought, I know.
Edit because I forgot we're on the internet and as internet males we're supposed to just threaten to hand out beatings left and right.
