I, for one, am sick and tired of getting out-kicked on the home stretch of my local Turkey Trot and hearing, "GOBBLE GOBBLE, MF'ER!"
"Are you training for the Olympics?" as I chug my 60-year-old body along at 9-min/mile pace.
Druggies screaming incomprehensible stuff at me out of their car windows. I wish I knew what they were saying so that I could at least say something back.

Any time a 4:00 or slower marathoner or trail/ultra “runner” of any variety speaks to me about running.
nuts wearing a hole in the inner liner of split shorts. srs
walkers in lane 1, multiple walkers abreast
lap after lap after lap...
Currently, sick of people talking about freaking VaporFlys.
A find it amusing the folks that yell "Run forest run" (Always seems to be African American kids).

its 2018, they are now referred to as "urban youths"
Seeing the mobot. OMG, what a douche
Ditto
Also the idiot parents who have their kids learn to bike or worse razor scooter in lane 1 of the local track...I mean hello...an athletic track for track and field!!!
Then the idiot kids can’t seem to stay in one lane...weaving all over.
In my day we rodeod with the cars and trucks in the street while learning to bike.
My school’s bell tower has actual chimes that are played manually, so a person in the tower is choosing the tunes and playing them. I was running across campus one time, and I decided to do a few laps around the quad near the bell tower to add a few minutes to the end of my run. On my third lap, the chimes started belting out the Chariots of Fire theme. Still not sure whether I was being mocked or just experiencing a random coincidence.
I don't have these problems because I suscribe to the first rule of run club.

1. Have no friends.
I usually, very rudly, just dart in between them, so they get the idea. I did this a few months ago, ran directly between a guy and girl walking side by side. The girl screamed, as i scared the crap out of her. I later realized they were running 200 repeats with 100 walk rest. I felt kinda bad. They still shouldnt walk in lane 1, but its better than just hanging power walking for hours in lane 1
Washed up runners talking about how fast they were back in the day.
1. No one cares.
2. You are lying about your times.
I haven't heard "Run Forest, Run" in over a decade. I'm not sure kids these days have even seen the movie.
A)Despite this being 2018, I still occasionally encounter random groups of bozos who think it's the height of cleverness and originality to loudly hum the theme from Rocky as I run past. Good lord, that was already cliched and stale by 1977.
B)Certain songs which have nothing to do with running as a sport get blasted ad nauseam over the PA systems at road race finishes simply because they have the word "run" or some variation in the title. Think Born To Run, or Running On Empty. Ugh.
The fact that I regularly wear short shorts is the most out of this world thing people have ever witnessed.
The constant risk of injury.
