When at the grocery store, please stay in your own lane.

It was just one step away from turning into an ugly argument about who-knows-what's-best-for-who. Fortunately, the guy backed off and shut up.

It's no wonder there is so much violence in public on video today. Why do people do this kind of crap? Can't anyone mind their own G.D. business?

My response to the guy in front of me would have been, "Oh, thanks". End of conversation.

Of course, I don't "tend to bristle" at innocuous suggestions, and I certainly don't turn casual conversations into ugly arguments.

You can say that all of us should "stay in our lane", but you did make a public post about it.
