The reason civil discourse and common interactions were so polite in the past was because we believed in a sort of "Non-Aggression Pact" between people.
Phrases like "Talk shit get hit" and "Fuck around and find out" solidified the idea that if you go out of your way to mess with someone, you are almost guaranteed to get fucked up. The man saying "who do you think you are?" really nails it, these people are way in over their heads.

It reminds me of the biker saying "take your participation trophy and go home".
I'm a giant and it reminds me every time of some young kid coming up and punching my quads/thighs. I don't really care until the fists start getting closer towards my balls. I know the second I want too I can fling him against the wall or grab him by the legs and hulk smash him and the only reason he behaves like that is because of my restraint.
