Pissed Off Prius Driver Yells at Truck Owner
I almost would never consider buying a Prius just so I don't get associated with people like this....

I just say 4 words... Nickel Metal Hydride Battery... If they don't know what it means, I tell them they seem to know a whole lot about the damaging effects my car is having on the environment. Why is it they aren't aware of their own vehicles sustainability issues?
They love to throw the word ignorant around. When in actuality they are the biggest bunch of ignorant sheep on the fucking planet. Enjoy your hybrids morons!

Batteries are recyclable.
Wow...I'm not sure how I would've handeled a situation like that...I'd be at a loss for words. This is probably a situation where you think of the perfect response hours later because you're caught so off guard at the time. Maybe something like this... "You know lady...if you're trying to convince someone to do you a favor, you're going about it the wrong way. If you had asked nicely I would've turned it off, but now I can't because it would validate your bad behavior (revv engine a little). Or, as they say in your native tongue, 'Moooooooooooooo'." Post your here's-what-I-would've-said below. In all fairness, the camera was started before she was even at the car. This is probably the follow up to a prior encounter. It's possible she already asked nicely. And why is it that people with diesel trucks are so reluctant to shut off their engine? Still...man...what a bitch.

THANKS!!!!!! But no seriously the same thing happened to me 2 years ago while I was filling up my 1er. I downshifted and popreved while I slowing down for the turn into the station and this chick took it up as her mission to educate me. I gave her this long speech about nickle strip mining in China and an education in what happens to all of the electronic waster and mercury once shes done with her car. Shut her the fuck down. |

The Prius driver was retarded, but the wife was equally retarded.
Nit picking at her being fat, ugly, or not in a parking spot is stretching for something to counter with.

I own an E-waste recycling company.. the use of the word recycling in terms of batteries is a stretch at best..
Don't even get me started on the process of obtaining the Nickel used in the batteries.

WHAT A FAT BITCH! i would have rolled coal if that was my truck.
On top gear an M3 got better mileage around a track then a Prius and Priuses do incredible amounts of hidden damage to environment |

I would be far more inclined to listen to what Prius drivers have to say if I didn't see shit like this every day:
Prius drivers going 80+ mph, driving aggressively, tailgating, killing their gas mileage, etc ARE DOING IT WRONG.

im saying in any conditions where you cant drive like a complete pussy the gas mileage drops significantly on the prius where as a normal car will then excel.
