 Alright we've all heard run forest run, nice shorts, car horns, and FAG!(i've actually had change thrown at me, almost been in a fight, and been spat on) but sometimes somebody with a brain and some wit decide to take a crack at a runner. The other day my teammate and I were running and some guy yelled "put some clothes on."(we were shirtless as well as short shorted) Instead of getting angry like usual I thought to myself hey I never heard that one before, props to the man who dished out that drive-by taunt just for being original. Whats the most original insult you've received as a runner? |

I was wearing a heart rate monitor shirtless on the beach and some chick yelled, "nice tube top!" She was a bit chubby, but so witty. |

from some very drunk people,'hey nice shorts, how are those wee key holders??" I was quite confused, in a way he was mocking me yet at the same time identifying very specificly to a very 'running' piece of equipment. |

While running through the getto with my college team, a dude yelled, "Is this the run for Gay Pride?" We couldn't help but laugh. |

Really funny! Didn't another poster say that he was going to have the best of both worlds and mock runners when he wasn't himself running? 'Put some clothes on' isn't original, and it's stupid. |

I was running on the roads in a sketchy part of town with my training partner - we were looking extra gay with shirts off, short shorts and all; we came across this homeless man sitting at a bus stop at a stop light. He said something like this: "Why are you running so much? Clearly you are in great shape; you just need to hit the gym." Legimate question for some puny little runner boys... |

This one I personally use on other people (I do enjoy a good heckle) but love to hear from annoying hecklers as well: "Shirts are for wearing!" Note, this only applies if the runner is shirtless. |

"lucky bastard" today... by some guy that almost hit me with his car. I safely stepped onto the sidwalk. .4 seconds b4 he 0wned me. What's funny is that ten steps later I turned around and began sprinting after his car, hoping that he'd stop and get out, in which point I would have ran the hell out of there =P... well as I sprinted I raised my hand and flicked him off for about 20 seconds. He left quickly and I began laughing cause it had been so silly and brave of me to have attempted such a thing. I turn around and right there is a cop that had seen the whole thing... I sprinted out of there and the cop didn't even bother. good times good times =P |

Running shirtless I had a kid say: "Put the chicken back in the cage!" |

Running - pretty quick cruise pace, down a long straight alley, there's this kid walking - no swaggering, coming the otherway towards me. We watch each other as the gap closes. As we get close I can see he's about 12 years old and 4'6" - now me, I'm 50 next birthday. As we pass he looks me in the eye and says: "You ain't so f***in' hard" It was so ridiculous that it kept me chuckling for miles. |

"Your balls are dragging!" I really didn't get it though. I was wearing short shorts, but it was about 40 degrees Farenheit and windy, so my balls were most definitely not dragging. In fact, they were practically retracted into my pelvis. I wanted to stop and ask just what the f*** that comment was supposed to mean, but I was too cold to care. |

Running the NYC Marathon in a somewhat desolate spot - fat spectator in a beach chair drinking a beer - holding up a sign - "The Marathon Blows." |

All within a matter of a few seconds while running on the Ghetto side of town......... A little girl, maybe 12, says: Them drawers sure is short...You sure is ugly...Then something about `kill you'..... I then picked up the pace a bit. |

While running on the neighborhood bike paths in just shorts and shoes, I passed a father walking with very young son. The boy said, "Look Daddy, that guy's naked." |

1. At about 8PM on a Saturday I did some loops around my neighborhood. Ran past a couple of young thuggish looking black kids around 15 min into the run with no words exchanged. I passed them again on a subsequent loop, at which point one kid said, "Dude, don't you have any friends?" Never heard that one before. 2. Semi-heckles from the soccer moms: On the local busy trail (about two miles long) the soccer moms have been known to say, "Stop running, you're making me tired watching you!" as the faster runners run back and forth multiple times while they do their out-and-back power walk. This one is a variant of the "Stop running so fast you are making us look bad!" (spoken with a mix of sarcasm and scorn, usually during fall marathon training season when they attempt to "run"). |

I also had a middle-aged woman pull up while I was stretching and say "you have great legs!" I had nothing to say. It's true. My legs look damn fine, and I'm one good looking motherf***er. |

Some years ago, while finishing a 10 mile run (I was 5'9" and 130 pounds) in 90 degree weather with no shirt - a very sarcastic and overweight 10 year old advises me from his bike while eating an icecream cone, "pick up the pace buddy, you still need to lose about 20 pounds". I had no comeback, because the remark, while obviously and purposely very self-deprecating, was also a very sharp heckle to me...especially for a 10 year old. |

The two best: In the ghetto: "Gangsters walk mother(expletive)" Two weeks ago, running shirtless, from a 50 year old man, in a singsong voice: "You're going to get fat" (You'reeeeeee gonnnnnnaa to get faaaaAAAAaaaat) |

Similar thing happened to me. This past track season, all of us distance guys were running through a park and this little kid said to his parents "mommy, why are those guys naked?" it was pretty funny. |
