  1. Oh, she gets like that when she’s hangry (hungry and angry at the same time)… about 40 Mars bars would make her feel better, I’m thinking…

  2. I would have held it to the floor and smoked the mouthy sow right out of the parking lot.The guy showed amazing restraint,i would have ended up in jail for abusing livestock.!!!

  3. I experience the same scenario as johnbrooks described in his post. I blame government policy for allowing builders to stack houses one atop another in a vast empty county such as ours. All in the name of tax revenue.
    After I saved my neighbour from choking to death in 2008, he’s become much more tolerant of my kids.
    As far as the star of the show, she exhibits exactly the characteristics of our great socialist utopia, the people’s republic of Ontario.

  4. Richfisher, not sure what you are saying, can you rephrase that please.
    “johnbrooks, she went to parking lot to get away from cars!”

  5. Looks like one of those “large and in-charge” Saskatchewan nurses getting her attitude ready for her shift.

  6. I don’t know why everyone missed it but the Prius prude is not in a designated parking spot. According to the yellow pavement markings she stopped her car in the middle of the lane and jumped out to begin her sanctimonious rant.
    It doesn’t matter who was being the a$$wipe here, Ms Prius was way out of line swearing in front of the children. Who did she think she was, Marg Delahunty?

  7. Some interesting stories in here.
    the Grey Lady: I’m pretty sure she did move, but not after she had her say. Anyway, that’s not how our society works, most of us know common courtesy and manners, none of us have license to treat others with disdain and expect nothing to come of it. Unless you have no spine, you’re not expected to bow to the whims of other people. The whole point of courtesy is to avoid such conflicts in the first place.
    As others have pointed out, what she should have done is expressed her displeasure diplomatically. Of course, she might have done that already, considering the fact that the camera is rolling as she approaches.
    Yes, I agree, the agitated woman was then also at fault for losing her temper and berating the couple.
    But I’m glad to see people agree that she was not the instigator in this episode, and the whole prius/truck issue was a sideshow and a distraction that had little to do with the dispute.
    The truck owner attempted to pass this video off as a woman agitated at the fact he drives a truck. That was a lie, and is a testament to his character. It was also rude of him to post this video in the first place, because it’s clear that the woman lost her temper, and that can happen to all of us, and it’s simply not right to try to embarrass people that way. They should have been diplomatic about it too.
    Clearly she was actually angry at the fact he parked next to her and she ended up breathing his exhaust, because for some unknown reason he wanted to keep his truck running even though it was easy to see that she was right next to him.

  8. By far the funniest part was at 0:37, where after swearing at them, she asks them just to be pleasant and courteous.
    Someone send that clip to the CBC and I guarantee that woman will be Marg Princess Warrior’s sidekick before the end of the season.

  9. I think the vast majority of overweight women are really unhappy. They don’t get any sex…if they hand around with a girl that is cute they never get any attention. How would you like to spend all your life with no man talking to you, only talking to your cute friends…..wouldn’t you hate the world?
    It’s a tough life being fat…..so why wouldn’t you lose it and change your life…….

  10. This video explains the a$$ chewing I got from a hobo behind the Madonna House mission in Edmonton a few years back.
    A friend and I pulled up out back in my beater Taurus to take one of the folks she knew from the mission out for lunch.
    As I parked we noticed this hobo angrily banging on the back door. I got out of the car and asked him what the problem was and he told me he was there trying to get a new jacket.
    I told him the mission was closed between Christmas and new years but that I had some spare winter clothes in the trunk of my car and I would give him a jacket if he needed one.
    I opened the trunk and offered him my best work parka. Buddy took the parka, looked at it and threw it on the ground while he yelled at me about the smokey exhaust from my beater and the crappyness of the parka I had just offered him.
    Who knew this hobo was really a down on his luck environmentalist/fashion designer.
    I collected my discarded parka and our elderly missionary friend and went for lunch, humble in the knowledge that neither my car or clothes were fit for a bum.
    *sigh*

  11. This person behaves like a Bossy matron that most likely works with Children or the elderly, she is unfit in any case.. WHO IS SHE!
    Of course she could also be a Lawyer; they are ignorant of the fact that calling someone else ignorant will get your lights dimmed (if you are Lucky) or DOA
    WHO IS SHE?

  12. If she’s driving a Prius in Ontario she’s probably got Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from being tailgated by The Phantom.
    The Ford F-250 crew cab is the perfect weapon for tailgating the likes of that, all she can see in any mirror is bumper. Couple highway miles of that and even the most hardened greenie will get the hell out of the fast lane and stop holding up traffic.
    Added bonus, up close the new Ford high beams can pretty near burn the paint off a Prius.

  13. Synrco, not totally.
    What happened to you was a person with mental issues.
    What happened here was a lady loosing her cool after being gassed for 2 minutes, but from what we can see is a guy who doesn’t consider others.
    Meaning, it was one thing to video, and who knows if this lady did ask before it started rolling, but as well he didn’t turn off his truck at all.
    Two wrongs don’t make a right. I agree with john g the funny part was her mouthing off, and then say be pleasant and courteous.
    She also swore off the mother, didn’t catch that the first time, ironically over the noise of the stinky diesel.
    I used to say “the bigger the pickup, the smaller the brain”, this from driving highway 2 a lot between Calgary and Edmonton.
    Now I drive a pickup, and uh, have to change the saying to “bozo’s who don’t know what the right lane is for, has a smaller brain”
    😉
    I say FAIL for the video truck guy.

  14. So, some seem to think it is alright for some to impose their distorted values on someone else.

  15. Phantom, I do hope you DON’T tailgate those slow drivers in the fast lane.
    I see enough bozo’s doing that on the highway and all it does is create more of a chance of an accident.
    Not that I have it all together, but I just sit behind them 2 car lengths for about 10 seconds and then flash my high beams once if they haven’t seen me sitting there for a bit,
    Most then will move over and I can make up my 10 seconds elsewhere.
    Like I said, the bigger the pickup.
    Two wrongs don’t make a right.

  16. I do hope a lot of the postings in here doesn’t reflect the honour of being a conservative right wing thinker.
    Ergo we are no better than the left wing bigots or trolls who hit here.

  18. Agreed syncro, but you have to admit that is stretching a bit.
    If you’ve been around homeless/mental folks (as I have), this lady is just an emotional case, not mental.
    Maybe like one person said, she was ‘not getting enough’.

  20. Johnbrooks, the idiot in the Prius/Smartcar/Honda Fit/Yaris ecocr@pmobile doing 100K in the hammer lane, I absolutely tailgate them. Harshly. With the lights. Sometimes the horn. Then I pass them when possible. Then the guy behind me passes them, and usually cuts them off horribly. Its Toronto. That’s how they do it.
    THEN they almost always lose their nerve and move to the slow lane.
    If you want a nice easy drive on the highway around Hogtown, go with the traffic flow and stay out of the fast lane or somebody is going to tailgate the hell out of you.

  21. Just got back from Hogtown, and heading back again.
    Yes, there are the fast drivers – doing 140 to 150 in the left lane. Still the fact is someone bigger always comes, so goes the fish.
    Yes, seen the little pea brains truckers or cars who cut someone off after passing them and then slam on the brakes to make their point – this on the highway, at highway speeds.
    If anything I got more mad at the jerk doing that than the econut doing 100KM.

  22. I have worked with the homeless and I see a common thread between the prius lady and the angry hobo. Entittlement.
    The prius lady feels entittled to demand others conform to her beliefs, the bum felt entittled to 24/7 365 service from the mission folks (they close 1 week a year).
    I don’t see much difference between “I demand you adopt by belief system.” and “I demand you help me in the fasion I desire.”

  23. I think the difference is in Alberta, we pass on the right if need be. Most then clue in to move over.

  24. Syncro, agreed, the entitlement issue. Having worked with homeless, and street kids, there are some who need a swift kick in the arse.
    But that’s not mental issues, just lazy. After awhile it becomes a life style. Still not mental, just a lazy lifestyle.
    Again, the video doesn’t show what happened before. She might have been parked beside him and got smoked out. Moved, and then ‘snapped’ per se to tell him off.
    The video was rolling with the door open. How many guys have a video rolling right away? He must have known something was going to happen.
    Meaning, she may have asked/yelled or whatever to turn it off, then drove to the area she was in, and then thought why do I have to move?
    Not giving her a pass either, her mouth finished that part, and then coming back and talking to the kid, as a bit over the top.
    Not mental, just emotional baggage that comes from not having enough, and seeing a couple with kids?
    Then that could possibly be mental, but moreso emotional scarring.

  25. I strongly suggest some of the commenters whining about the truck owner pull out their wallets and check their man cards. They’ve probably expired.

  26. John, I’ve been in Phoenix all month so you didn’t see me. But down here I have a 1986 F-350 diesel. Same reason, morons who can’t or won’t drive properly.
    Down here my favorite sport is nailing the gas beside the Prius/Smart/Whatever and blasting the super loud exhaust into their window. Why you ask? Because I know the driver is a sanctimonious Lefty jerk0ff like the gawd-awful sea mammal in this video, or they’d be driving an SUV like everybody else.
    What goes around, comes around.
    No tailgating or cutting off though, liable to get shot doing that. An armed society is a polite society.

  27. Not passing as a clinical psycologist, and have to agree syncho, if she would have stopped at the part of asking to turn off the truck and explain how the exhaust is abrasive to her eyes and nose, then I’d say she was in the right.
    The agree part is her going off on a rant about the truck.
    That and due to the pinky glass frames and mid drift is a classic eco do gooder does pigeon hole her into the ignore column.
    However, not enough evidence from the video to make out the pickup driver was on the other end of the tangent, aka red neck stereotype.
    Sorta like an immovable object meets an unstoppable.

  28. “An armed society is a polite society.”
    Ha! Okkkk, that’s another topic for another day.
    Yes I believe the right to protect one’s home, but not the gun toting way some are.
    Can you imagine either one of these with a gun? I do have to admit the ecolady stood her ground with a mother yelling and a guy video’ing.
    As for BoomnoZoom, I don’t need a man card to know I’m a man. The wife confirms it every night.
    Oh, and I know how to say “sorry” and “love you” to my wife as well.
    Does that make me less a man?

  29. How much extra fuel does it take her Prius to haul her lard ass around?
    Honestly I have no idea why these people tried to converse with this pig, they exhibited a self control that I never could have. I would have ignored her until she did something physically stupid other than running her mouth, and then laid her out on the tarmac, because that’s no woman.

  30. A little exhaust up the nose never hurt anyone. I do know this, viz a viz smart cars vs trucks and SUV’s. Here in Alberta, when there’s a 2 or 3 foot dump of snow, I climb in my SUV with it’s 510 HP supercharged engine, raise the suspension and drive where I want to. Unlike Toronto, we can’t all call in the army when it snows a little bit.

  32. The attempt by many here (repeatedly too) to make this into an issue of good behaviour and manners on the part of the truck driver is blatant social engineering. Let’s find an activity we don’t like and let’s denormalize it. Next thing you know even filling up a truck with diesel fuel while someone next to you is filling up with petrol or while the angry lady in the Prius has stopped to fill up on Cheetos will be bad manners. Perhaps that is a good thing (I personally don’t think so) – – – but let us recognize what is going on.

  33. Well known fact is that when you put too many rats in a cage they will start killing each other.
    Compare any large city to a small town for courtesy and respect. Like night and day. Also, this angry greenie stopped her dinky toy on the roadway to walk over to the parked truck. The mistake the pickup driver made was even acknowledging she was there. My impulse would have been to stare at her without saying a word until she left.

  34. It does not appear that it was cold that had the truck driver keeping his truck idling, so maybe he should have shut it off in any case as most of us do unless it is only a couple of minutes. This video does not show the complete story.
    What bothers me about the video is the I think the Prius drivers attitude is a spin off and direct result of the prevalent attitude that governments projects today that they have the right to tell you how to live. Reminds me of an ideology that collapsed in the Soviet Union in 1991 and those that made it their business to help that government.

  35. I recall grocery shopping warm one morning, it promised to be a cooker, about 9ish….I left the dog in the car with the windows down to the point, she could get her head out.
    After quickly getting my stuff, I returned to the car and encountered an irate “concerned” gal who announced she had summoned the Police.
    The Policeman arrived, and ruled the dog was in no distress because the windows were down…to which the gal protested the dog had it’s head out and was in danger of “being trapped”.
    The constable asked for my ID which I produced….I then suggested he needed the complainants ID as well. She objected, beat around the bush and then retrieved her purse from a car and produced a photo-ID, not a driver’s licence. The constable demanded her driver’s licence and after another runaround, it transpired the gal’s permit was expired by months….the constable called a hook and gave me a wink.
    Don’t get mad, get even………

  36. rroe
    Excellent points. That woman is the South end of a North heading horse. End of story.
    Also, I’m all for Phantom’s method of dealing with these vehicles crawling in the fast lane. I could handle it if I thought they were just plain stupid but that ain’t the case. It’s mainly because they’re mostly sanctimonious self-diddlers who are secure in the knowledge that they are superior to the great unwashed and want all and sundry to convert and bow in obeisance to the great Gaia. Travelling in the fast lane is their own personal evangelistic road show.

  37. Dystopian Optimist: “So I dumped the pail of water I had nearby, to extinguish her. Realizing what a fool she had made of herself, she jumped back in her car and proceeded to run into a tree, demolishing her Volvo.”
    LOL. You saved her life and she failed to thank you. No bad seed will go unpunished. Volvo justice.

  39. related…chevy volt gets 25 miles to a full 12 hour charge…
    and he’s lucky he got that, if it had been uphill in a real winter, he’d have been lucky to get ten.
    electric cars aren’t practical outside of Vancouver…for the $15,000 price difference, I can buy more than enough gas to offset the few miles ‘saved’…miles that had to use electricity generated by coal or oil in my area.

  40. There’s only one correct response:
    Mooooooooooooooooo! Moooooooooooooooooooooo! Mooooooooooooooooooo!
    (repeat as often as necessary)

  41. I’d have told her to stop eating up little third world villages and start doing her part for the planet.

  42. I think i seen her at the closing of the Occupy Toronto site, she was wearing the tin foil hat. She is the 1%

  44. Maybe the AC is on, and if he pays for the gas it his business.
    The lady is lecturing the guy on what he should drive and how irresponsible he is and complaining about a bit of exhaust from a newer engine. I thought he handled it quite well.
    Wonder what she would do if her neighbor had a wood stove?
    She’s the type of person that makes society wilt.

  45. When you look at the busybodies posting on this thread that claim to know for certain how others should act, remember that they want political power to enforce these desires with the monopoly of violence the government enjoys.
    Vote for these creeps at your peril. What will they decide they don’t like tomorrow?

  46. That other women should have decked that fat cow…get the police in, she was talking in threating way…or use the bullying crap..who cares there is not a brain in that ones head ;it’s all in her gut..///

  48. My Jb,
    What I love about coming here is that there are just so many freedom loving folks who are able to live and let live, that know how not to sweat the small stuff. SARC off.
    For all you know that couple were in a mall parking lot, just back from the hospital, with a sick and fevered child and were waiting for the prescription to be filled…
    The thing is it doesn’t matter why that guy had HIS truck running, it’s no one’s business. Not even yours. Shocking I know, to find out that you are a meaningless speck in everybody else’s life except for those that ( I am sure fortunate) know you.
    My comment was directed at a comment that complained that folks ran their vehicles near them while they has a conversation in a parking lot/spot. Parking lots tend to be places where one with generally normal mental would expect to find strangers in cars and *gasp* those cars might actually be on at the pleasure of their owner.
    To equate my comment that this curmudgeonly cranky pants ought to think of moving a few feet away, to folks that had their lives turned upside down, who had property stolen, physical harm all while the state ignored it’s responsibility and the police showed themselves to be nothing but political jackboots with no regard for the actual law…oh my I do believe that shows a certain lack of subtle or delicate thinking.
    You have a good day now.

  49. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
    the fat cow would have got an ear full if’n that had been me in the truck
    my kid would have learned that there is a use for for swearing

  50. If some guy who had given up bathing and shaving during the Olympic games, and had made a habit of not removing his trousers before relieving himself, walked up and said the exact same things, those people would have been justified in summoning the police.
    Behaving like a raving, mentally ill, homeless substance abuser is not made acceptable by purchasing and driving a Toyota Pious.
