Thats an over statement.
No it isn't. After Geirrod tried to kill him, Thor killed Geirrod, Geirrod's daughters, and then every giant Thor could find in the area. Thor did not have his usual equipment on him at the time.
Another Giant (Essentially Norse Decepticons, for those who don't know) tricked Thor, Loki, and a few of their companions to a series of contests, rigged in the Giant's favor. After Thor and his group lost all of them, one of which resulting in the beginning of tidal changes, the Giant admitted what he had done, as well as admitting he was horrified by their efforts, and promised never to risk coming anywhere near Thor in particular.
After a Giant King had stolen Mjolnir, promising to give it back as long as Freyja married him, Thor was forced to dress up like a woman (I would not criticize you for laughing) and take her place. Once Loki had talked the King into giving Mjolnir to "Freyja" Thor immediately proceeded to slaughter every single giant there. The Giants realized then decided to never steal Mjolnir again.
Three stories where the antagonists learn that Thor is not someone worth screwing around with, or are too dead to have learned this lesson. For example, in Lokasenna, Loki spends quite some time and effort personally insulting each and every God and Goddess at a party, but leaves after Thor threatens to decapitate him, because he knows from personal experience how Thor responds to personal slights.
I think I got carried away, but my point still stands, no one messes with Thor and gets away with it.
