Nothing thrown and whatever is shouted they get right back at them. They rely on runners being meek & mild. You've got to give it back.
One of my old team mates ran past 2 big guys years ago one shouted out 'wanker,' my mate decked him with one punch and carried on.
Good way to get shot!

Filipinos in my experience have been especially nice folks. And, no I am not a Filipino or related to any.
Two things--at age 52, while running on a local bike path--a four or five year old told his father "that man looks old."
A decade or so earlier, while an assistant boy scout leader, I was running, bringing up the rear of troop bike ride. While running shirtless down the hill to the turnaround point, my son and his friend met me climbing the same hill. My son's friend told him that I have man boobs. I am 6 feet tall and carried somewhere between 160 and 165 [pounds. Whatever, punk.
