LetsRunners: What's the weirdest thing anybody has ever said to you while on a run?

"Can we ask you some questions about STDs?" - A couple of kids with a video camera asked my friend and me while we ran past them.

This has the potential to be one of the best LetsRun threads in a while...

"Get a car you damn hippie" ... Not necessarily weird but it's rare someone actually runs as a way to get from one place to another (In America).

Once while running next to a high rise appartment downtown in a very large city. Three teenage boys walked by and one sang, "Who wears short shorts?" I stopped, turned around, and said, "Is there a f***ing problem here?" They laughed and ran away. I just returned to running.

yeah, I am an asshole.

It sounded like this one lady asked me and my friend if we wanted some pancakes one time, but I am not positive.

Another time, a lady (looked like a MILF to be blunt) and two girls that were more around my age at the time asked me if I wanted to get in the hot tub with them. Not only was that a strange thing to be asked, but the hot tub was just randomly in this field off of the highway as a promotion type of thing.

Another time, a guy asked "What are you training for, walking?!!" I just said, yeah.

This was a good while ago but one night I was out around 1 am doing an 8 miler on a Saturday night. A drunk guy came stumbing out of a bar and kept starring at me. I thought "great, another idiot with the stupid Run Forrest crap". Instead he looked behind me and then back at me. I kept my eyes on him waiting for something stupid to come out of his mouth. He yelled "It's ok, you can stop now. They're not chasing you anymore". I smiled and moved right along.

runner runner runner runner runner ... that man!

"Can you blow me where the Pampers is?"

emphasis on the response here:

back in high school we ran by some middle school kids and one of them said "Looks like you've got some roads to cross"

Number one guy on the team without hesitation responds "Looks like you've got some testicles to drop"

I had some college teammates that weren't exactly model citizens. One day we're running through a local park and a couple of kids maybe 8 years old were waving to us and yelling hello. Just being kids and being friendly. So one of they guys on the team looks at them and yells "Hey! Hey F*** YOU!". I could barely stay on my feet from laughing so hard.

Strangest thing? I had a guy say, completely seriously, "watch out for that woman. She's a witch. She'll steal your blood."

I've had even stranger encounters with people while on foot, but never while running.

In the middle of an 8 miler one summer, and older lady wearing a long denim skirt and long sleeved, high collar blouse stopped me on a paved bike trail to tell me that it was obvious I didn't know Jesus and that I was going to hell. Apparently she was upset in my attire: running shorts and a jog bra. I told her that "obviously" she was a Pharisee and shouldn't judge someone on their appearance.

"That's Nasty!!!" -Obese Black Woman

"Everybody take it off"(like the kesha song)- some 10yr old kids

"The world's gonna end in 2012, you might as well quit that shit and start smoking."

I was running with a Hash House Harriers group.

I was "leading" a blind guy and a deaf guy was running with us.

We had just come out of a park and it was just on dark.

A woman appeared and asked the deaf guy if he had seen a kid with a bicycle in the park.He,of course, completely ignored her so she walked up to the blind guy and asked the same question.

He, of course, said no.

As we hadn't seen the kid I thought it best to keep quiet.

Once while running in the middle of nowhere in central Massachusetts, a woman pulled over and frantically yelled out the window, "WHERE'S MAINE!?"

I gave her directions to the highway, then watched as she sped off in the exact opposite direction that I told her to.

Oonce while on a 20mile run I noticed girl who looked just like Elisabeth Moss during her Zoey days getting out of her car. She looked at me and said-your platyhelminthes aporiorism was mendacious Professor Minkleman.

Up there with the wierd thing I've heard on a run,

"Here"

but you had to be there to get it.

That time a woman offered me a carrot. Yaknow how you kindda run in place waiting for a light to change at a cross walk? She was next to me and just reacjed into her shopping bag said here and handed me a carrot . Gobsmacked I said thank you tucked it into my waistband and ran off.

Some 15 year old girls yelled out this dandy:

"CHICKEN F***ERS!!!!"

Still haven't figured that one out, as I'm pretty sure that's not even possible. Cluck

its from super troopers! (atleast that's my best guess) great movie

My senior year of high school, during cross country season, i was on a 12 mile run with one of my teammates, and the following conversation happened...

Teammate: So uh, can i ask you a question?

Me: Yeah, what's up?

TM: So, say you were f'ing a girl, and she died, what would you do?

*Insert awkward pause*

Me: Ummm, well, uh, i guess i'd freak out and dial 911.

TM: Really?!?! *looks puzzled*

Me: uh, yeah... what would you do?

TM: I'd just finished the job and leave

*insert awkward silence for the next 9 miles.*
