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

Sage advice as usual.
I think both folks in the interchange got toooo hot toooo fast.
But just because I had been schooled as a child not to touch or bother anyone else's possessions, I wouldn't have put down another carts rainsides.
I think KCRazorback was reacting as a police officer rather than a private individual. I sometimes act annoyingly like the teacher of young children that I used to be.
