Stupid things people yell at you from their cars whil you are running.

Yesterday while finishing my run, a group of students drinking on their porch yelled at me, "Hey Runnerman! Come bong a beer! C'mon! Bong one beer!" When I kept running, they continued, "C'mon! You have to! You're red haired!" I yelled back, "You all should come join ME."

Thinking back I should've stopped, walked casually onto their porch, bonged the beer, and then taken off. Would've made for a helluva better story and they would've laughed (or been shocked).

Not so stupid, but entertaining (now): I was doing a workout at a fenced in university track that's located away from campus in a somewhat seedy part of town. A kid climbed up in a tree in his front yard, and as I jogged past, yelled "When you finish your workout, I'm gonna cut off your balls."

Just got yelled at on today's run - yep, a white dude passneger in a car of white dudes nowhere near a stop sign. Unfortunately, I couldn't make out what he said, just some random garbled noise.

The best one I ever got, and this shows my age -- "wheeeeere's the beef!?"

Im from Ole Miss, was warming up for an indoor race a couple years ago, Arkansas student idling at red light, leans out and yells "HEY! Are you Eli Manning?"

So one can only conclude that Arkansas is good because Arkansas can recruit out of state/country, and can recruit. Not because of in-state talent/competence.

Actually right now they kindof (relative to indoor) suck, but thats beside the point. They'll lose their 1st home meet at SEC's!! LSU will smoke them. I can't wait.

yea people suck these days, at least we arent being completely run down, look at Lance armstrong getting run off the road

Run Forest Run

and

Put a shirt on...

These Both still piss me off.. especially when its some fn trailer trash yelling it..

About 18 months ago I was belting out a 12 k tempo run, on a back country road.

I was running towards oncoming traffic as you do for safety.

Next thing I see a Ute with a trailer coming towards me, with what looked like a lot of dust coming off the back of the trailer.

Then I realised it was smoke from this fat dudes tyres, who had panicked and slammed on his brakes.

I keep hammering, and as he goes by, he is waving wildly at me to get off the road , and cursing me.

I just give him the biggest set of fingers, from knee height up past head height and keep going.

He slams on his anchors again, and is gonna come after me.

I’m thinking; Ok, this will interupt my tempo run, but I’ll give you a go Tosser.

He doesn’t show.

He had a woman with him, and I suspect she said something like “don’t be stupid; you won’t be able to catch him, and even if you do, he might smash you”

My 6’3” height does me some favours sometimes.

Running in our biggest city, which is a rarity for me, I’m cruising through a park, when I come across 2 Maori guys with a crate of beer.

I spot them first, and take control of a potential spat by running straight toward them.

They look up, a bit surprised and say “hey man, do ya wanna beer ?”

I keep running and reply, “no mate”

Once again; show them your not scared.

Cruising down grass verge, by footpath, and come across some kids going the other way.

One of which was this little boy who would have been about 4 years old; he looks way up at me, and says “Whoa, look at this big dude”

I still laugh about that kid today.

I get a few teenage girls woo hoo me now and then; can’t complain really.

I hate it most when I'm doing reps in a park (such as hill reps) and stupid people make comments. At least on the roads or doing a continuous run you can run away. If you want to finish your session you have to stay and hope they carry on past. Some people are nice though, but it's usually families or 30+.

I think it's worse in the summer. The worst are kids from about 12-17 who seem to head to the parks now the evenings have become light and it's a bit warmer. Zero of them there in the winter.

When there is a group especially I don't like it. I live in the inner city and some of the kids hang around with knives, etc. I have had a few problems - nothing too serious. As I am female though, I do get intimidated by groups of lads, even if their comments are just to impress each other it really unnerves me. Half the time I bet they don't even think the effect they have on the person they make them to (i.e. scaring them), they just think of the effect it will have on impressing their friends.

During a 5k , a group of stooges in a SUV yell, "Pick up the pace you slack bastard!". That was funny.

Doing hill repeats last week, f***ing pussy.

I've had a positive pregnacy test hurled at me. WTF?

I've heard Raise hell and drink beer.

I've had two guys hold a beer out for like they were at an aid station on a trail and I took it, They thought it was completely Heavy Metal!

Early on a weekend morning a guy walking with a case of empties on his shoulder said to me 'Good pace, not great, but good pace.'

A youngster said to a grandma 'Are you training for a race or racing for a train?'

On a hot day in the middle of July, I was running a 6 mile tempo wearing only shorts and a jogbra. I was running on a bike path that hosts a lot of other runners, walkers, and occassional recreational bikers. I passed a older woman who was dressed in a long skirt and long sleeved shirt. She hollared out to me that I was going to hell for dressing in such a "provocative" manner.

"whore!"

huh?

I get a lot of people that bark out the window when I run in the city. I'm a guy, and so are they, so it's not a crack on my appearance. Apparently more to startle me or make me think a dog is chasing me, which never works.

I actually think a kid barked at me today on my run. On a country road coming toward me so it more confused me than anything.

"nice legs"

"will you marry me?"

"woohoo!"

"get off the road" [the last responded to with an extended Finger Of Doom]

Yeah who hasn't heard the run forest run....

everytime i hear that i throw something right back at them and to see the puzzled looks on their face and watching their friends laugh at them is just priceless....

if people are going to say something they need to be a little more creative than that....

I guy asked me for a cigarette. A f***en cigarette!!!!!!!!

Once asked if I WANTED a cigarette!

How about that.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmn! Was she hot?
