What is the craziest/funniest/rudest thing a stranger has ever yelled at you while running?

Was running down the road past a high school aged couple sitting on a stone wall smoking cigarettes. The girl yelled, "Those lycra tights look disgusting." For perhaps the only time in my life, I had an immediate comeback come to mind. I yelled back, "Not half as disgusting as they would look on you." The best part was that her boyfriend tried to chase me up the road which was on a steady incline. I was in a wet dream fantasy at this point. I had a great comeback line AND some out of shape meathead was going to try to chase me up a hill. Needless to say... he didn't last long before giving up. Needless to say,.. I ran home fast and kept checking over my shoulder to see if he got a bunch of friends to hop in his Mustang and come kick my ass!

I used to be a HS track/xc coach and teacher . Was running one day after the school's practice, and a female student (in front of her mom) says very loud (because I heard her..) "He has such nice legs and ass.."

I asked the mom a few days later about it, and she turned three shades of red. I really didn't care, I just wanted to give the old' double standard people a dose of their own...

Some bike commuter pulled up beside me at a light once and told me it was the 27th anniversary of the first time he ate a cat.

Someone yelled "Almost there!" to me at the 2 mile mark of a half marathon...

A friend of mine ran a marathon wearing a T-shirt with “Nad” printed on it. He said people were shouting “Go Nad” at him pretty much all the way

That “almost there” cheer is obnoxious. But they’re out there cheering so I give them a pass. I’ll take hecklers over no spectators.

I was once running toward a restaurant with outdoor seating. As I approached, one of a group of young women posed the question, not meant for me to hear, "How about him?" Use your imagination as to what the question might have meant. There was a long pause, then one of them broke the silence with an "Eeeewwww!" and the group broke into laughter.

I got a chuckle out of it. I'm over 50, so anyone my age not named Brad Pitt or George Clooney is by default "eeeewwww" to young women. I actually took the long pause as a compliment.

Someone in a passing car flicked their cigarette and hit me square in the chest.

Neighbor hissed "don't you run past my dogs!!!!" I replied with barking sounds and she yelled after me "a--hole".

Same neighbor thought I was out of earshot and she says to her husband, "Run? He can't even walk!"

Oncoming traffic and a guy intentionally swerved toward me.

Ran past a gaggle of stroller moms. I had headphones in so they didn't think I could hear, but I was between songs. "I wish my husband looked like that!" "Me too, mine just sits around and eats all day" etc. I didn't react more than just a smile.

Made me feel good about myself for a day or so.

Had to take a bathroom break at walmart. I guess I was a little more sweaty than I thought, because a guy walking out as I was walking in said “Hell yeah bro! Don’t forget to drink some water.” I think he was stoned but it was pretty funny.

"yo that form dont match the gear..."

When a limo went by a gorgeous girl shrieked and a guy said: "My sister likes your legs!"

Another time a car went by and a creepy dude said: "Look at the meat on that potato!"

Funny story from a friend of mine. He was running early morning in the dark on neighborhood road.. Car slowly drove by him way too close but slow. He is pissed and kind of punched at the side of it and shattered its tail light.. He took off sprinting while the car turned to follow.. He couldn't get away so he slowed down as the car caught him and was scared of what the guy would say or do.. would he get in a fight?? did guy have a gun?? well the guy pulls up and looks like he sees a ghost says " Oh my god Im so sorry, i thought i hit and killed you I'm so glad yoru ok Im so srry, i was half asleep not paying attention.. so sorry " My friend says. 'no worries you barely grazed me" .

"You won't find any sheep here mate"

One day I was having a great run and some british (I’m in CT) guy yelled “f*ck you buddy!!!” at me out of his Mini Cooper.

I was running on a bike or running path along the Truckee River from Tahoe City toward the River Inn and then onto Squaw Valley around the 4th of July 10 years ago when I was 60 years old. As I do 95% of the year, I only had running shorts on besides my shoes and sunglasses. Around a bend, a young woman riding on a bicycle in the opposite direction surprised me. She smiled pleasantly and said, "Thanks for the great view!"

She didn't yell, but once I was running in a graveyard and an older woman who'd been following me in her car pulled up and asked if I'd like to go with her to her husband's grave and see if I could get him to come out because he just wouldn't answer her.

While I was running at a park a girl yelled at me "Nice legs!" She looked to be about 6 years old. Her mom squealed in horror and her dad doubled over in hysterical laughter. It was kinds embarrassing since I was 60 years old.
