I saw a guy laughing at my car (this happens since it stands out and I'm told it's a girls car). The difference this time is this guy was stood at the bus stop. Dude you're laughing at my car when you're getting the bus... Fail.

DISCUSSION (20)

Had a guy do that to my '68 Chrysler once. It was just weird. Like the guy almost fell over laughing.

I would rather take the bus than drive a girls car...

I had guys laugh at my Crystal Blue Miata all the time. Then they'd get into their girlfriend's mom's Civic.

"I'd continue talking shit but the bus is here and I can't miss my ride. Mr B says if I'm late again I'm fired"

It happens a lot here in certain cars. Everything here is either grey white or black, or a fashionable car like the fiat 500 which is accepted because fashion. Anything unusual or seen as feminine is laughed at. Not that it bothers me so much, I wouldn't have bought the thing otherwise.

There's a mint NA yellow miata that rolls around here and that dude gets pointed and laughed at a lot. He always has a smile on his face though, good to see a dude enjoying his car and not giving a shit.

The irony of that is that the Panda's a weapons-grade panty remover.

I feel like it's anything not dull or widely popular. Certain people don't like anything strange or interesting. Essentially they dislike us jalops.

Dude was in a track suit at 4pm with a bargain store carrier bag. I don't think he even has a shitty job to go to...

If that's true my Panda must be defective.

We don't really get that much where I live—though I suppose I wouldn't be in much of a position to notice, my car being blue-y silver, and a common model. Still, I know a couple of people with more outlandish cars, and they've never had any trouble.

...

It's probably down to that South of England, 'ignore anything that is in any way out of the ordinary' mentality.

Well, you have to get them to the car yourself. But then small Fiats will do all the work for you if you let them...

In the North you don't have the luxury of people looking the other way. Most of the town I live in is on the dole too so they cause trouble and laugh at others to make themselves feel better.

I wouldn't be able to use the effects anyway. I assume that's something that would upset my girlfriend...

Ah, sounds like fun. My town's not the best-off, economically - old coastal resort town that no one in their right mind would ever go on holiday to - but people generally keep to themselves—the occasional drunken teenage/early-twenties mob aside.

You shouldn't just assume something like that! At least make sure, even if you think you know what she'll say...

We have the worst type of chav. The one who grew to middle age but still acts exactly as they did when they were a useless teenager. At least where I live 10 months out of the year is a bit nicer, I only live here during summer.

I guy gave my a dirty look and started laughing one time because of how the paint is on the front of my van. And probably just my van in general.

His BASE MODEL Grand Prix's whole rear end was crushed in, I should add. I believe it stalled as he was trying to pull away from the stop sign as well.

People tend to laugh at you if they're insecure themselves. Hence the guys laughing at us had a bus/trashed car.
