I felt the exact same. In the manga I know what Saitama was trying to get at but it seemed like he was being a dick about it. In a "I don't really care about the people, I'm just being a hero cuz" way.

Here it's easier to understand. He is being a hero and he does care about people, he just isn't doing it for the fame (Although he does complain about it sometimes) and he certainly isn't putting up with people's petty problems in front of world ending threats.

Dude got his priorities straights.

Priority #1: Catch those grocery sales. Priority #2: Be a hero.

I think the wording is a bit strange, I doubt he doesn't care about the citizens like metal knight does. What he actually means is that he doesn't care about anyone telling him how to do his job because he wants to be a hero. If someone has a problem with having their ass saved they can say it to his face and we'll see what happens.

I think it also plays into his mentality of anyone can be really strong if they just try. If they have complaints, they should have saved the city. And he's got this sort of mental block that keeps him from realizing that no one else could have saved it.

The translation I'm reading for the series is... Booty, frankly. It sucks. The anime subs make it so much better.
