I was quite annoyed at the entitled attitude and upset at the language he felt entitled to use.
What would you have done? What should I have done?
I'm very tired of individuals that believe that it's fine to have their dog off leash in public areas. Every part of The Villages is in a county with leash laws.

Don’t let him dump his anger on you. If you have seen the movie “Spirited”, turn to him and say “Good Afternoon “ then walk away. Much nicer than using his language.
