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

Well this is not a stupid thing that someone yelled but I had to post it anyways because it is the first nice thing that anybody has ever yelled at me. Last night while running a few miles a car load of girls pulled along side of me and yelled "oh my god, u r so hot. You have such a hot body. I love runners." That made me feel really good. I was shirtless and i have kind of a hairy chest.

Any chance some sarcasm may have been at play?

I hate it when cars stop in the cross walk too. When they pull up right as I'm running up I like to vault over the hood- just plant a hand on the hood and jump over the thing. Worse is when cars pull up into cross walks as you are in them, and slam on the breaks to not hit you- then they get a dent in the hood from my fist. I actually got hit by a car trying to pull out of a parking lot once- he had a nice dent in his hood and an earfull, but I had a nasty bruise on the side of my knee- and it wasn't too long after that I was sidelined with a stress injury to the same knee.

The other story I've got is more funny than dumb. Me and my team were running a warmup and we pass a car at a stop sign- the guys in the car looked at us an then at eachother and fumbled around their car for a few seconds as we ran by. A few seconds later they pulled up next to us with the windows down, and cranked up the volume of their stereo. They were playing the Chariots of Fire theme. We were all suprised and laughed pretty good at it.

Stop running, go home and eat!

you think that's bad, try being 6'5" 150

ever. buhch of hot looking twenty somethings in a convertible on a hot day, me completely sweated thru my shorts so junk showing...one girl says really loud "nice package!!" and then other three plus girl one yell in unison "NOT!!". then they drive off laughing. was a long run getting home that day.

One time i was running down the street in the town just next to mine, and a group of high school kids pulled up in a convertible Infinity and sqirted me with maple syrup.

It really sucked becasue it cam from like 4 guys and it was really warm, almost too hot, so it shot out of the bottle all over me.

I had to finish my run SOAKED in maple syrup, and i didn't want it to get into my mouth b/c who knows WTF they did with it before it hit me.

I had to take 2 showers and I felt ashamed.

Hey, I know that syrup must have been a pain in the ass.

I used to work at a grocery store when I was in high school, and it was a specialty foods store - like a smaller Whole Foods.

They had real maple syrup in large 10 gallon containers, and you could fill your own bottle. The containers had a tap on them, and there were two kinds. Dark and Light.

Anyway, one day someone came along and turned up the taps on both of them and walked away. I got called to clean it up after the freaking things had been drained.

It was the hardest thing I have ever cleaned up, absolutely insane. It was everywhere too, I worked the whole day, and it still was not even close to being cleaned. My boss let me go home, and he came back that night with something he rented from some disaster cleaning company. He said he worked on it most of the night.

Anyway, that sucks.

Well thanks for ruining my day!

"We wear short shorts!"

I thought this one was cute. While running in Ocean Beach in San Diego, my teammate and I passed a little girl and her mom walking on the sidewalk. She looked up at her mom and goes, "Mommy, why do they run so far?"

Her mom shook her head and said, "I don't know honey, I guess they like it."

some guys in a pickup truck asked if I needed a mudjack

My friends and I were doing a 4 mile tempo through town last week. We ran past some a group of girls and guys. One of the girls says, "look at these skinny ass white kids running". Then I tell her to call me later, they say something to us then I stop and tell them to check this out, turn around show them my white ass, it was pretty funny. They were pretty shocked.

I ran by a little boy and his parents the other day, and heard him ask his parents, \"why doesn\'t he have any clothes on?\"

Last night some guys at a gas station were yelling rude things at me so I told them to go F*** themselves. Then one of them started chasing me like he was all hardcore or something. I knew he couldn't catch me, but I slowed a little hoping he would. When he still didn't, I stopped and turned around and then he just walked back to his friends. I'm no tough guy or anything, but that loser was in for a beating if he would have kept coming.

One day I was finishing a tempo run at my college with my team and I ran by this laddy with her son and I over heard the little boy say to his mom, "Mom, why is that man hurting?"

I always laugh to myself when people simply yell, "Run, run, run..."

if he was really "in for a beating," you would have stopped and given it to him. nothing worse than people talking about getting into a fight when there is no way on god's green earth that a fist would ever fly.
