Tired of the Hummer haters, Help !

[Intercooled]

The other day my wife and my 2 sons, 6 & 9 year olds, were in our H2 pulling into a coffee shop. A Honda full of young girs speed up and quickly cut her off, yelling out the window "mother f*****, you'll killing the environment". My wife was furious and taken back. It doesnt happen a whole lot around here but every once in a while you'll get that hypocritical ******* that has to say something. I guess my wife and I are usually caught by surprise and dont know what to say, and whenever we think of someting good its too late. So I'm asking you guys, give me some one liners to put these jerks in thier place quickly. Lets here em!

Hmmmmm, people perception of things just because you own a beautiful vehicle. Oh the one liners are so many. Depending on how rude or cordial you wish to be. But here are a few that tend to help me, depending on my mood.

1) Bite Me (Used Commonly and when I am not in the mood to think)

2) Did you say ("whatever") before the price of gas went up?

3) Do you make it a point to tell people what they can and can not do? (Polite and usually get people to think about themselves)

4) If you give me $300 , I'd be happy to plant a tree for you.

5) You must be the local ******* everyone was telling me about? You can replace ******* with bitch for gender purposes.


These are but a few suggestions for the reply. Feel free to alter any and all to suit your purpose. Remember, most folks who are polite, won't curse or shout obsenities. Those that do, require the same. Hence "Bite Me" always works well.

Hope this helps.

I have a few things I like to do...

1. If its at night I get right up on their ass and ghost them with all my lights turned on bright.

2. If its day I still ghost them (if they slam on the breaks its not like they will be around to tell anyone what happend)

3. Crack a smile

4. I have done double birdys WITH a smile going ear to ear

But basically dont get mad at it, they are just poor people that can't afford to drive something as awesome as a hummer and if they are some eco tree hugging fruit cake they shouldnt be driving at all..let alone breathing since they are just wasting oxygen for me.

Just nudge them into a wall or off a cliff. The terror on their faces before they go splat brings the .

A one liner won't convince anyone to change their opinion. Don't even try. Instead, think of individuals such as the girls your wife encountered as wearing a sign on their forehead and announcing to the world: "I'm a complete idiot and I'm so stupid the only vehicle I'm dumb enough to recognize besides a Prius is a Hummer!"

You're not going to change their opinion and I've found talk is pretty useless, although sometimes I tell them that battery waste from the Prius is responsible for more pollution. I drive in Manhattan with my H2 quite a bit and in two years, I've only had two problems. One time a homeless person spit on the hood in front of the Stage Deli and shouted "polluter" and I figured he had enough problems in life, and spit washes off.
The most interesting was at a mall when a Camry pulled up so close it almost touched the entry step bar, making it impossible to open the driver's door more than a few inches. I did get in by opening the passenger side and climbing over the console. Apparently, this 20ish young girl was watching from afar and came out as I started to pull out worrying I would scratch her car. She just shot me the bird and I smiled back at her. I have a NY Rangers sticker on the back and I had four of my son's hockey sticks hanging out the side of my SUT. I think she was hoping to meet one of the Rangers!
On the flip side, I've had dozens of positive experiences, but I seem to get that question a lot we all get at the gas station, "Can I ask you the mileage on that big rig?" Also, I've gotten a half dozen, "Can I sit in your Hummer?"

Move to Belgium bro ! No haters over here, just lovers !

ps : people are afraid of my hummer over here ! There are almost no hummers in Belgium. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN !!!

[SummitUp]

Usually the only time I seem to get negative vibes is when filling up at a gas station and get the typical gas hog remarks . This reply always seems to shut them up real quick:

"Yes, and I'm just sure when they read the eulogy at your funeral they will speak of the great mileage you were getting when you were hit by that drunk driver!"

They never seem to have a comeback after that...

at the pumps I always reply with I can afford to fill my Hummer - Thank You for your concern.
