In high school, on a training run with the team... I had to stop off at my house for an emergency pee... I finished and continued on to catch up with the guys. Passing and elementary school, and some bratty 1st grade girl goes: "Hurry up, STRAGGLER!"
I was leading a marathon by a fairly good margin, running at a blazing 6:10 pace, and one of the few spectators on the course yelled "I smell the Olympics". I laughed out loud. Same race a year earlier I was again leading and a woman dressed in a banana costume standing on the side of the road starts cheering for me from a distance. As I get right past her I hear her say "Oh - he's old." I was 42 at the time. Unfortunately I did not have a quick witted response like some of you would have had.
Trashy-looking teenage girl: "Do you have any cigarettes?"
I've had that yelled at me too, by a girl who looked to be somewhere in her 20s. I didn't respond.
My first semester of college a teammate and myself were finishing up a run at night near a rail yard. A VERY trashy looking guy comes out of the bushes and asks "excuse me, this will sound really f***ing weird, but can you tell me what state I'm in?" We told him where he was and he told us that he had just hopped off a train. After we left we heard a train whistle sound and immediately started laughing our heads off.

Wow. You guys are c-r-a-z-y.
What a wild and wonderful life you lead.
Stopped by an unmarked police car: "you guys should probably turn around. I made 2 coke busts on this street last week."

Keep talking....
Woman leaned out of a pickup in Minneapolis on the west river road and yelled, "You can't run away from Jesus!"

Enjoying this thread immensely but it begs the question: what compels people to yell at runners? I seriously don't get it. I mean, I never slow down my car and yell at pedestrians or people walking across a parking lot to their car. I don't yell at soccer players. I don't yell at people playing pickup basketball. And when I bike, nobody yells carp at me. Even when I used to rollerblade nobody yelled at me. Why runners?
Running with a buddy and these fast a$$hole runners cut us off real close (had to step off the path). I muttered something about stupid f4ggots, and one of them turns and says he's going to "jack us off real hard". WTF?
