The best I've had so far is while doing a tempo run around 11pm this car full of chicks was at the lights and one of them yelled "sexy man" at me and then they sped by me, doubled back and yelled something else.
And yesterday some guy asked me for directions while stopped. What did he expect, that Id stop and describe the city to him? Wierd.
The posts about running naked are weird. Especially since your junk sort of shrinks when your running hard (no pun intended) but maybe the fresh air balances things.
Every runner should run naked some day. (Maybe not with ppl around though).
some wigger 15 year old kid yelled at me while running in the winter. something along the lines of "go lance armstrong." he recieved a facewash.
As I run by a black guy smoking a cig he yells: "Cross Country - the only sport where a skinny white dude can get pussy"

You missed a golden opportunity. I always tell them the wrong directions on purpose.
I've run for 33 years, and I've heard a bunch of great lines. Still, I think my favorite occurred 3 years ago: some guy on a street corner asked if I had a cigarette.
I don't have anything good, but once my dad was running wearing sweatpants and some women in a car driving past him yelled "nice %$@." I couldn't stop laughing when he told me that.
In college we ran past one of the larger frat houses, in a pretty big group. It was a nice day, so they had a lot of guys out on the lawn, several of which were throwing a football around. One of them threw the ball at us--not to us, but at us. One guy on the team picked up the ball, and we all continued running.
They promptly yelled at us, asking us to bring their ball back. I thought that was particularly funny.
In high school I went out on a run, and a couple of miles in, it started raining pretty hard. I saw a truck go by the other way, and a guy I went to school with rolled the window down and yelled 'YOU REALLY ARE A CRAZY MOTHERFUC*ER!!!'
I ran by a group of women who were drinking in someone's frontyard. As it was hot, I had on just a pair of shorts and shoes.
As I ran by, one of the women yelled out, "Thank you!!!"
I was running with my hs teammates one summer when we were all in college and some ugly teenage chick yelled out the back of a truck "The Baywatch tryouts are over!!!" It took us a second but we realized that we didn't have our shirts on so it was a clever statement
I had someone yell at me because they HIT me with their truck. I had a bunch of highschool girls yell out at my friend and I "show me your penis!" like 7 times. But one time I had someone yell "HEy Boys!!" which got us to turn and we were bombarded with a shit load of Tampons...
Maybe some 25 years ago, going for an easy jog with a cute girl, towards the end of our run on Beacon street, in Boston, as a real beat-up car with a bunch of guys that must have been totally wasted, pulls up, and one of them sticks his head out and shouts incoherently:
"F**K HER! I did..."
And then he puked out the window and a streak of puke splashed on the side of the car...
Impossible to forget.
Running a tempo run in a very pricey suburban area, I hear someone honk behind me and although it sounds like an angry honk, I instinctively waved. A 60+ year old guy in a big 4 door Mercedes pulls up next to me and screams "You're running on the wrong side of the street you stupid son of a bitch!! You dumb f*#k!! (I was running with traffic at the time on a street with no sidewalk and very little traffic).
I tell him to FO. He goes crazy, screaming obscenities, then tries to hit me with his car several times.
I yelled some choice words back and him, then he says "Do you want to fight me?!. I just said "No". He said "Yeah, that's what I thought!! Keep in mind that this guy is 60+ and pretty overweight, driving a $80k car.
As he drove off, I said "I've got your license plate number and I'm calling the cops".
He stops, screams every obscenity in the book at me, tries to hit me again, says he's going to call the cops on me, then takes off.
True story - definitely freaked me out a bit (he was so pissed I thought he might come back with a gun or something). Unfortunately my eyes aren't that great and I didn't actually get his license plate...
