You should have just revved your engine a few times infront of her.

once i got complained at by some prius when i was in my truck, the best thing is that my truck was diesel so when i step on it a nice black smoke cloud comes out. it was o so much fun to step on it infront of her dumb car.

i had an experience with a hardcore environmentalist here in Los Angeles. i was waiting for a light to turn green when a lady driving a prius rolls up next to me and immediately starts talking trash. i quietly rolled up my windows and drove off. the next light, there she is again yelling at me. then she started throwing tissue at my car. right when i was about to get out and "recycle" her and her car, sirens blared as a cop pulled her over. i pulled over also. the cop asked me what was going on and i told him i was just minding my own business when she kept harrassing me for driving my car. the cop went to her and told her she was going to get a ticket for littering. she begged and begged. and the cop said.. "if youre such an environmentalist, then why are you littering?" in the end, i smiled at her as she was forced to pick up trash to avoid the ticket.

OMG.............. I'd have soooooo opened my diverters at the headers and made her bones shake.

Best thing for people like that is to tell them (wether or not you truly feel like this or not) "I don't give a shit because I'll be dead before it matters."

They HATE that. It tells them that you are irrational beyond argument and contrary to them. It's the most frustrating thing for them. Believe me. I lived in Seattle.

cmb74656 · 05-29-2012, 05:48 PM

I would just tell her to cease practicing her First Amendment right before I start practicing my Second Amendment right.

_Nick_ · 05-29-2012, 05:50 PM

The best part is, most of these assholes think the Prius is good for the environment.

Coyotekiller · 05-29-2012, 05:51 PM

Somebody would have got a beat down if she had thrown a soda. I'm very short tempered especially in traffic. She just might have gotten a few returned words from me. I tell you what, send her my way, I'll adjusted her headway.

Meh... If only her opinion mattered. Screw her. Especially since she sounds like some random nutjob anyway...

GunnyG · 05-29-2012, 05:54 PM

I woulda done a burn out right next to her!!!

That's the whole reason I'm trading in my 05 Trailblazer for the Camaro...gas mileage!

This lady is a noob. I would of just schooled her on the spot or blasted my system at her with sine sweeps until she left.

For a moment she acted like she was going to throw a bottle of soda at me but i guess she decided against it. I let it go but the whole situation was frustrating.

Her behavior is not worth your time. Take the high road. She can wear the same pants to get glad in as she got mad in.

I swear by Former Secy. of State Colin Powell's 13 Rules of Leadership. Nearly all apply in this situation. Have a look when you're able to do so via Google.

F her, that would have been the most expensive bottle of soda she ever laid her hands on. I hate people like that.

Ghost1LE · 05-29-2012, 06:52 PM

She's lucky you were nice about it. She has no right to open her stupid mouth. I would have went off on her that's just ridiculous.

I usually reply with "I bought an American car to support the American economy. Did you?" 9 times out of 10 they are driving something foreign. Of course if she was walking this might not work.

Isn't the Camaro built in Oshawa Canada??
