Straightforward or Rude?

[duckman1911]

Our shop is right across the road from a flea market. The market is set up in rows of metal buildings much like a storage unit. For the past few weeks there has been a truck with trailor pulling onto our lot and backing into the flea market almost daily. Today I caught him and knocked on his window.
Me. This is private property not a public turn around.
Him. Am I blocking your lot?
Me. No, but you do not have permission to use our property for your personal driveway.
Him. You're just being a hardazz.
Me. I just walked off as he left.
Later I was at the flea market and just happened to hear him talking to someone else about how much of a rude person I was. I walked right up to his drivers window and greeted him. It was rather funny. He said I was rude for telling him he had no permission to use our property for his personal driveway. I explained to him that I was not being rude I was being straightforward. I never raised my voice or used any profanity. I just explained to him that he was using private property without permission.
Best part. He was an off duty cop........*****
