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

I have had that one too. It was a biker (i stopped at a traffic light)

The scariest moment in my running career was when I was cooling down on a sidewalk near my highschool when this male comes flying down the road in a car. He then proceeds to push his car over the curb coming within inches of my legs. (There is a shoulder to the road, a curb, about a foot of grass, then the sidewalk.) His car bottomed out pretty badly,still...needless to say, I was pretty freaked out after that incident! I was too stunned to even say something as he passed... (He was going at least 50mph.)

Other than that, the comments have been the usual and I've had nothing thrown at me but a car I suppose.

I was finishing up a run on a golf course and some early morning golfers were teeing off. It was the middle of winter and I was surprised to see that there were golfers out that early in the cold. I said to them as I ran past,"Sorry, I'm getting out of your way right now." One of the older men hollared back, "Honey, you can run out here with those red tights any day!"

female? if not...disturbing.

Yes, very much a female! He said it with a little lisp though, so you never know.

the worst would problly have been for me having a firecracker thrown at me that bearly missed. it stunned me b/c was in a runner's high and by the time i could react they were already 50 meters down the road. if there would have been traffic or something i would've found a rock and ran back and expressed how i felt about their actions...

ok i have a couple

probably one of my all time favorites was during a high school track race someone yelled to one of my teammates " i want to have your lovechild" i think everyone that heard it started laughing and it just threw off the whole race as this was in the first 200 meters.

warming up for a track meet a kid probably 12 yrs old or so rode by us on a bike and said the classic run forrest run and my teammate yelled back "bike lance bike" we got a pretty good kick out of that one.

i've hit multiple cars on the side (no damage) with open hands while they back out of their driveways without looking to the sidewalk and everytime i think what if i was a small kid on a bike or walking or something i would be toast by these idiots that dont pay attention.

i'm usually the only one that responds on our runs and usually its the fat chicks that yell stuff like "keep running" so i usually yell "keep being fat" or "keep sitting in your car" or something to that extent.

surprisingly i've been approached by very few people after responding to their yells and nothing has ever come of any of them.

I always get women screaming and saying things like hey sexy, while beeping their horn. Then again, I am not your avg skinny runner, I lift as much as I run.

"Did you see the shitter on that critter?"

Once on a bike a guy threw a 2-liter and hit me in the back. I still remember his face and vehicle to this very moment. It\'s best to take the offense on the situations where someone yells at you. I once yelled \"There\'s 2 of us, there\'s 1 of you, and your girlfriend\'s ugly, what are you going to do?\" and he drove off.

While I've only had one woman shout a "woo hoo" at me (I'm 5'5", 125), the best I've had is what one kid did to my water bottle. I was at a park trail (1/4 mile loop) where I could park my car 10 feet from the trail. I left my water bottle behind a tire to have easy access (my wife was out elsewhere on the trail). I came around the corner and saw this kid pick up my bottle, unscrew the lid, and empty the contents (Gatorade) on the ground. I was shocked! I made him go the water fountain and fill it up. Turns out I work with his mother!

GET SOME LONGER SHORTS PUSSY!

you should reply \"get a longer penis, dick\"

I've gotten eggs thrown at me too, they actually hurt like hell because most that I've had hit me didn't break for some reason and I had huge welts.

But anyway that's what I get for running at night on Halloween wearing a silk thong (bet).

As for stupid things yelled at me, today a man yelled "Hey pick up the f***ing pace asshole," from his car behind me, then when he drove up beside me I saw it was my Dad.

I run without a shirt and the girls yell take off the shorts.....

Running down a country road and a car slows behind me. A fat woman leans out the window and says: "Can I snap your bra?" I was wearing a heart rate monitor.

while running with my college team we ran past a little kid with his mom and the kid said "why are they running in their underwear?" because most of us had short running shorts on. we got a kick out of it.

i live in the middle of white trash central but no one ever yells at me, they just smile and give a friendly nod. i get the sneaking suspicion though that the only reason they bite their tongue is because they know my mother and she's their case worker down at the welfare office.

Ok my turn.

One time I was out riding around campus with my cycling team friends and we got fast food thrown at us, specifically McDonald's. One of the guys riding with me got mad about the french fries hurled at him from high speeds, so he took off at 30+ mph and actually caught up to the vehicle to get the plate #.

One instance when I was running around my neighborhood at 11 pm (yes, it's late, but it was the only time I had to run...) and my mom was following me in her truck for safety purposes. Well I guess a friend of my family that lives near us saw me running and a vehicle following me, and instantly assumed the vehicle was out to get me. I was wearing a sports bra and shorts, and she told her husband that I was "asking for it." WTF?

Many things have been whistled or yelled...I have lost count of the cat calls and honks. It really sucks for us girls trying to run out there because the general male in a vehicle assumes that we are "just asking for it" and trying to prostitute ourselves or something. NO, it's called training, and all of us equally should have the right to do so without being harassed.
