hybrid stereotypes

ok, so i have an admission to make. i have a stereotype of the kind of person that would drive a toyota prius hybrid. it’s wrong i know, but i automatically imagine an earth mother, wanting to save her planet – after all it is a damn ugly car. it was no surprise therefore when i passed one on the dual carriage way on the way home and found a fragile old lady behind the wheel.

fragile old lady my socks!

whilst pulled up at lights, the little old lady pulls up to me in her ugly car and stares straight at me. that’s what caught my attention as i could feel someone’s eyes in the side of my head (almost literally i swear). before you know it, the lights have changed, the granny’s revving her engine and speeds away. i had absolutely no way of keeping up with her.

as if that wasn’t a bitter enough pill to swallow, she felt the need to do a middle finger salute to me. she must have been at least 80. what kind of 80 year old lady tears you up at the lights and does a middle finger salute to you, in a hybrid nonetheless. the kind of old lady i want to be that’s for sure

poor little bugsy’s had it’s ego dented a little though, so we’re going to have to go and find a 3 wheeler to burn off at the lights, just to make it feel better! (i know, car’s don’t really have personalities – honest )
