Here's one for you guys, from right here in the Peach State..........(Lord have mercy):
Man Shot After Manners Scolding
ATLANTA -- A Douglasville man said he was shot after trying to give another man a lesson on manners. Police are still looking for the shooter.
Jay Rodgers and his family were on their way home from a Tim McGraw concert last month when they stopped at an Atlanta Shell station so his niece could use the bathroom. He said he felt insulted after a man he encountered ignored a polite gesture.
“I opened up the door for a gentleman. He walked in, and I quietly said, ‘Why don’t you say thank you for holding the door open?’” Rodgers told Channel 2’s Eric Philips.
When the man didn’t respond, Rodgers said he followed him outside and asked him to say "thank you" again, but the man kept quiet.
“He went to his car, put whatever he purchased inside it, and he pulled out a gun and shot me from about 15 to 16 feet away from me,” Rodgers said. "I passed out in my wife's arms."

I held the door open for a young woman a number of years ago and she called me a PIG...NBD, it's not worth getting shot over!
JMHOFWIW

Anyone consider the man might have been deaf and felt threatened by the other?
Just saying....doubtful but plausible!

He followed the guy to his car being "holier than thou" and he's surprised he got shot?

A case of being "over sensitive"?

His last words? "Do you know how rude that was"? ;D

Maybe if he did the right thing without wanting recognition for it he wouldn't have caught a bullet.

Correct.
And if he did need to comment, a simple Preemptive Your Welcome* would have sent the message while not demeaning the act.
*A Your Welcome, Azzhole might be an option for those who are students of Tom Bs book.
