what seem to start if off though is that the guy was reving the engine and the exhaust was going over to her car and into her vents..

while I wouldn't go and make a big deal about it..I'd just go somewhere else because it's a public space
diesel truck exhaust absolutely stinks.. you get behind one and you are instantly smelling it.
and some of the people who drive them think it's funny to leave that little black cloud of dust behind for others to smell to be cute when passing or revving their engine..
it's not cute...

Can you imagine living with something like that? Acually I'm thinking she has to be single.

haha funny. Thanks for the video--I'm doing my best to spread it. Lady was probably just having a bad day but she does evince some common misguided memes.

There have been some estimates made of the impact of obesity on fuel consumption, and it's significant:

I'm going with liberal lesbian.

They always want people to keep their nose out of other people's business unless it's them doing the nosing.

Note she couldn't simply drive to another spot.

Lol the woman called her fat and ugly.

The Prius owner is a typical liberal, very intolerant and wants to push their views on everyone else by force if necessary.

Well, I do want to say that. From a libertarian point-of-view, you don't necessarily have the right to pollute the air that others have to breath.


With that said, I cannot lie, I hate the way cars smell when they drive passed me. Nothing irritates me more than when I'm walking down a sidewalk on a beautiful day, then all the sudden either a diesel truck or an old car that isn't running well drives past me and pours horrible smelling smoke pollution into my face. But even a car that is in good running condition still stinks, and its smell certainly impacts the other people in this world.

So while I'm not trying to defend this woman, because her behavior isn't exactly admirable(swearing, hateful, etc). I do understand the frustration of seeing a large vehicle pull up next to you and unnecessarily stink up the place, spewing out pollution which has helped to send the rates of breathing disorders(like asthma) to record levels.
