I told him I was just trying to keep his stuff from getting wet. With that, he screamed "don't ever touch my f'ing cart again". I stayed calm and professional throughout the cussing I got, though I do wish he had crossed the line and tried to put hands on me. As I was leaving, I noticed he had a New Jersey license plate on the back of his cart. Next time when it starts to rain, you can be assured I won't touch another cart. I'm beginning to think the phrase "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" is a misnomer.

kcrazorbackfan: When I was assigned to Iowa I had an employee who came to my office with his bare head as red as a tomato and visibly shaken complaining that some guy from New York was rude, nasty mean......I laughed and said he's just playing with you that's what they do . So when you call him back act the same way and by the end of the conversation you will be best friends. He did and he told me it worked
As to your situation whoever the guy is one thing he is not and that's insightful. I also don't much care for swearing but some folks just don't have sufficient verbs, adverbs, adjectives in their portfolio their limited what can you say??
I know something of downstate New York/New Jersey and most of those folks would give you the shirt off their backs, some are a bit gruff, very animated, excitable, passionate, speak directly but its a very large metropolitan area.
It was a nice gesture. You can protect my cart from rain anytime I am not around and I might just buy you a brewski for your trouble
