Ford EcoSport
I had a very strange encounter with the owner of this EcoSport.
After taking a long time with filling up his car with fuel, he then approached my van to try and start an argument with me, saying that I wasn't allowed to leave my van's engine running. I explained to him that my van requires engine power to keep the food that's stored in my van at optimal temperature, but he was having none of it. Bear in mind, he was arguing with me, a Tesco van driver, at a Tesco petrol station.
Spotted in York, United Kingdom

Another idiot who thinks driving a 4x4 means you own everything.

Probably thinks EcoSport means he's more eco friendly

Probably the case to be honest. I think EcoSport is a bit of a stupid name for this particular car, usually driven by the same people who drove the older European-sold Fusions.

I think calling this a 4x4 is a bit of a stretch, especially since most sold are probably front-wheel drive
I just think the owner seemed rather disgruntled for such an insignificant reason. He probably is the type of person who is a bit of a 'curtain twitcher'.

he is Echo friendly in his EchoSport (because ford wants us to pronounce Ecoboost and EcoSport differently)

That's just sad. Trying to argue with a guy that knows what he's doing, and works at the place? Somebody feels highly of themselves (the EcoSport owner)

I guess that the driver doesn't get much action, so has to resort to creating petty arguments with innocent people for kicks
Some of the employees at the kiosk saw what was happening, and were also bewildered about how that guy acted. As we say in the north of England, it's 'Water off a duck's back' for me!

Oh my! Reminds me of the drivers who insist that you're not allowed to take photos at public roads and when you tell them the rules, they grunt and go "well, I'm not so sure of that" and then continue to argue.

It's often best to let them think that, as there's no point arguing. It does happen here in the UK, though probably not as commonly. People may be more informed about freedom of photography/filming laws here, though the older generation may feel less comfortable about it, understandably.
