I always giggle a bit when I get passed by one.

Being the EV snob that I am, and since I don't like the Prius, I always joke about them to my family when we are passing a Prius. I call them gross polluting fuel hogs.
Many of the Prius' that I see around here have drivers that don't look engaged with what is going on, and I regularly see the drivers seat pushed as far forward as possible with a driver who is barely in touch with what is going on in front of the car. All too often, the Prius' that I see around here are like random floating bad guys that you have to watch out for in a video game so you don't lose one of your three lives. When I get up beside a Prius and look inside, it is apparent that the radio is turned off, even though I would not be able to tell if it was not. Just the clueless look of the blah looking drivers and the seat all the way up tells me what is going on inside their car. Nothing. I also see Prius' driven like they are stolen, but nowhere near the number of clueless ones.
