Does the “Prius” image bother you?

I love everything about the 2nd gen Prius, however one thing I see a lot of complaints about online are that they are viewed pretty poorly by other people. Drivers on the road will hate anything that says Prius on it.

Obviously I should not buy a car based on how others view it, however I’m concerned about how other drivers react to a Prius. Rude comments, unsafe maneuvers on the road, etc.

Does the Prius reputation bother you? Am I safe just staying in the far right lane minding my own business?
