Best retaliation to getting yelled at while running

Recently, I was running by a normally quiet intersection, and a motor scooter or Vespa type of thing pulls up with two people on it, a guy and who I assumed was his girlfriend. He tries throwing some comment out, but can't and ends up stuttering, so she decides to yell some fag comment out. They came to a stop at the stop sign, and I jog over and pushed the scooter over with them both on it. They ended up tangled up with each other and the scooter's handlebars on the ground. I had a laugh and then continued my run, needless to say, I didn't get a comment from them when I ran past them again the following day.

And that was a complete lie

Yes it was.

Why the need to anonymously post lies?

I don't understand.

No one knocks over a motorcycle with people on it. That just does not happen.

It doesn't matter what anyone yells at you, you respond by saying, "That's not what my boyfriend told me while I was having sex with him last night." I doubt that it would work, but I'd love you try it.

In 1996 I was running in Boulder in one of the upscale neighborhoods. A couple came by with their daughter in the car and I wasn't happy about it...

Too soon! Too soon!

So this family walks into a talent agent's office and says, "Have we got the act for you".....

this is the best ide ever. im trying it

one time this guy fliped me off driving past, so i just waved cuz thats how i react. the next day i saw him in hs at luch trying to hit on some girls. i went over to him and in a fake sincere voice asked why he flipped me off for no reason. the girls got up and left and it made my day

One of my favorite come-backs is:

"Don't make me come over and let the air out of the tires on your house!"

I think you just have to take the bad with the good. For as many times as I've been driven off the road, had beer cans and such thrown at me, and insolent expressions that have come my way, I have gotten my share of free beer, boobs out the window and other "pleasantries". When all is said and done, people are dumb and jealous, and without them, we wouldn't have the good stories we have.

Yelling "Loud Noises!" or "I don't know what we're yelling about!" works pretty well.

One time I was finishing a run... One of the hottest girls in high schools at the time was out with a walk with her little sister to the park (I did not know it was her little sister)

The little sister (12-13 i dont know) said "Put a shirt on!" I said "Take your shirt off!" I said it in a joking manner.

The girl the next day at school said, "that was my little sister." Which made things super awkward.

Another time, I was out running and this chubby girl said "Run forest run!" and her and her friends start running alongside me in a mocking manner. I said "Looks like you could use some running."

They all stop, and her friends start laughing at her.

Another time was I was running with the guys and this kid in his car with his mom drive past us, and the kid goes "RUNNING FAGS!" We as a team decide we arent gonna take that ****! We follow the car, and they are parked at the local grocery store. The mom goes in the store, while the kid stays in the car. There are like eight of us. We start shaking the car on all sides (little sedan) and one of the guys spits on the little kids face. Good times.

MY FAVORITE retaltion run was... I was out on a morning stroll next to this coffee shop near the high school. Some middle school kids had some coffee or hot chocolate, or whatever.... As I run near them they say "Running is for fags, go back to Asia."

These are like 14 year old kids! WTF?!@ I was pissed, by this point i was 10 meters in front of them. I was like... Usually I am a good sport and the farthest i take it is joke about it. I turn back, they pause in their steps like they are scared. I stand in front of them for like 5 seconds, its like a clint eastwood staredown. I take my hand and knock my hand on their coffee or whatever and slam it against their chest. And go running off, they start chasing me, but never catch up.

I usually smile and say something like "Hey, how's it going?" after they say something.

I make it seem like I didn't hear a thing. Throws them off pretty good.

Jeez. I've never been yelled at until today. This thread jinxed me! I'm a pretty big guy, I hover around 200lbs so I really don't expect a lot of guys to shouting crap at me anyways. I go for my lunch run and I'm way off on the side walk and hear a car honk and this guy scream like he's trying to get attention. "HEY!" "HEEEEEY!!" I kind of look over and the top of the window is cracked and two arms are sticking out, each flying the bird. First reaction was "What??!?" Completely caught me off guard. There was NOBODY around me... And the finger? Really? Just a general 'f*** you' at runners? or...? The second was "Hmmm...tell me you're turning left at this light up here..." (they didn't) Third reaction was just a laugh because my mind went right to this thread and to some of the responses. Eh, they were probably just young kids blowing off steam. Just funny that it happened today after reading this thread.

Yesterday I was running and this jerk pulled into the cross walk to make a right turn. He put his hand up with the I am sorry look. He saw me coming and still stopped in the crosswalk so i ran in front of his car put my hand up in the i am sorry position bent down and tied my shoe for a minute. Got up and looked him in the eye and kept running.

Yeah, we've got a right turn out of a supermarket on to a one way street and there's a big stop sign five feet back and just before the crosswalk. Drivers constantly roll through that damn thing only looking to the left to make sure they're clear of cars. I've scared the crap out of a couple of them that have nearly hit me. I love it when the passenger window is down.

Do like the French do at Gare du Lyon when the bathrooms are full during rush hour or if they don't have any pocket change They just pull their pants down and take a #2 right on the walkway. I've seen it several times when I wacs an exchange student. (France is a pay-to-shit country, it's gross, and inhuman).

I was running in the summer one day and this group of 3 teenagers (1 girl with 2 guys). The girl yelled "Put a shirt on...thats gross". So I yelled back "Put a mask on...thats gross"

Just yell out:

"Oh yeah? Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you."

What about saying "I had sex with your wife and mistress and now they both know what you're up to."
