Tis a shame. She must be having a bad day. I guess telling her to hold her breath if she doesn't want to breath his truck fumes wouldn't help. biggrin

"Sorry, have a good day ma'am" (even though she's a moron). I HATE when people approach my vehicle on foot, so assuming they can't accept a polite goodbye it's going to get hairy. No use arguing with morons.

He did well not to escalate as it would have been pointless, but I can't help thinking to tell her that her amount of food would save five children in Africa every day...

I have a '91 Dodge W150 4x4 farm truck with a 5.2L (318) and "modified" exhaust...more like a couple pipes coming off the header that I drive sometimes. Just something about seeing a Prius on the road...I have to pass them, and I always make sure to mash the gas pedal when I'm along side of them. wink

Yes, that little bit of irony was my first thought.

What makes a fat b*tch like her think she has a right to lecture folks on 'excesses' ?

Well, as a diesel truck driver myself I say there's rarely a good reason to leave them idling. Pollution controls are least effective at the low exhaust temps that come with low RPMs, and if nothing else it is a waste of fuel. But, if for some reason I WAS idling mine - say, to let the turbo cool down (if I had one) - and some fat cow with a big mouth came over to lecture me, then I think I'd just have to put it in gear, step on the brake, and roll some coal to both drown and smoke her out.

Sorry but why? Personally I'd hate it much more if someone approaches my vehicle with another vehicle.

That depends on the situation, I'd hate to be run over by a monster truck too wink

Basically plenty of people are completely nuts, and when they're approaching me when I'm parked I'm basically strapped in place and they're generally rapidly closing the gap without announcing their intentions. It sets off big old alarm bells in my head that something isn't right or might not be right. If I'm in a crappier area like downtown Milwaukee my pucker factor will not be comfortable.

It's all situational though, like I said. If it's someone I know or someone obviously doing something like directing traffic it's a who cares moment. I just don't trust random people smile

The stupid part is her actually thinking that she could change his mind.

The correct response is "Oh wow! I never knew ANY of that before! I'm going to trade this truck in today for a used Schwinn, because ANY motorized vehicle is completely irresponsible to use. I suggest you do the same...for health reasons if nothing else."

I bet if she had gone over there politely, said hello and asked nicely if he could cut it off so his exhaust wouldn't blow into her car that he would've done it.
His offense was accidental, hers was intentional and thought out.
OR she could have put the a/c on recirc and not smelled it, OR move her car. I bet she was sitting there to smoke though (I have nothing against that) and wanted her window open. That just adds another layer of how silly her argument was.

I totally would not have handled that as well as that guy. Good for him.
