I understand why you were irritated, but I am unsure that I would have been as irked as you appear to have been.
If the same guy was standing outside a seedy hotel and pointed to a couple and said, "Yes, I used to be a fornicator sin, but Jesus changed my life," would you be upset with the guy for accusing them of fornication?
I know I would expect for the couple to respond that they are married, if it is the case, wouldn't you?

You have that right but I seriously doubt that would have been the case. I believe you are just being adversarial and that is also your right.
Yes I would have been just as upset if he had pointed at a couple and accused them of fornication because they were at a seedy hotel. He would have no actual knowledge of their situation. They could be married low lifes who were in sin in some way but not fornication. You are being absurd in your defense of the indefensible.
You honestly propose the notion that it is a good witnessing technique to accuse people of various sins and assume you are right unless they take the time to correct you?
Most people I know would do what I did and ignore this moron. He did not deserve any response from people. Amazing how you put the onus on people denying his accusations. I sincerely hope you are not serious.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
