What are some of your most annoying experiences while running? This one time when I was running in my neighborhood on the left side of the road, this middle-aged man was driving towards me with plenty of room to go around me. He keeps driving towards me at around 25 mph and rolls down the window and tells me his not gonna move out of the way. So I had to quickly jump out of the way before I got run over, and there was no sidewalk.
I'm a male runner and feel like every time I'm out for a run attractive women are ogling me like I'm a piece of meat. All I'm trying to do is get a run in, not be objectified like that.
when people give me sidelong glances for open carrying on my run
Pokemon go! Theres a park across the street from my house with a 1.5 mile look where i run most days and now that its too cold to be outside all the people who play just drive around the park slow as hell lookin for pokemon. Nothing more annoying than running a lap beside the same car the whole way
This one time in band camp...
Seriously though. Most annoying experience for me during a run is when I think of a really clever response to a question someone posed on letsrun, then BAM - ma fone dunna have no internetz!
Nah just kidding. In all seriousness, one of the more annoying things that happened to me was this one time, I'm driving down a streeet in my neighborhood, and some young punk runner wouldn't get out of my way. He was running on the left side of the road! He had plenty of room to get out of my way, even though there was no sidewalk! What a moran. So I rolled down my window and told him I wasn't gonna get out of his way.
You should have seen how quickly he jumped out of my way after that! It was freaking hilarious, I kid you not.
Dogs. If you beat the crap out of them you are going to be in trouble and if you don't they will probably bite you.Picking routes around dogs sucks. Pick a new route and after a few days super entitled jerk or jerkette moves in with a stupid dog that isn't sufficiently restrained.
I couldn't stop eatin' salted cashews before my Sunday long run, once.
I prayed I'd make it home to the porcelain god about six miles out, but did not.
The unshakable feeling of my own mediocrity, for sure.
Cars turning right onto a main road and the drivers only looking left for an opening in traffic. After a few close calls I now just run behind the cars that are turning.

Pepper Spray for both dog and owner. Make sure you video it as it funny as hell.
The other day I was fresh out of compression shorts so I went running running commando style. Every now and again my dick would fall out the front of my pants (why there was an opening to compression pants, I have no f*cking clue), and it was so cold out I left feeling in my body and wouldn't notice - that is until the frostbite on my exposed dingdong would set in. Yeah, I would consider frostbite on my wang to be kind of annoying.
had no feeling in my body*

I keep having to tell them, I'm not just some piece of "man candy" you can just "handle" anytime you feel like it.
Also, really annoying when my fanny pack is too loose and keeps flopping around during the entire 2.5 miles of my Saturday long run. Super duper annoying.
