Honestly what is wrong with some people?!?

Just back from Week 4 Run 3

Usually run along the seafront but thought I'd try something different so ran up the main road instead. On the way back I had to stop at the roundabout to cross the road and a bloke in a car shouted "for God's sake keep up". Not in an amusing way either - really quite aggro! I think he thought I wouldn't hear because I had headphones in. He's bloody lucky I was on the other side of the road - bit premenstrual!!

Just made me wonder why on earth someone would feel the need to do that?

Just laugh at the idiots or turn the music up! You’re doing great to get through W4R3, I did W4R1 yesterday and the second 5 min run nearly killed me but felt great at the end. Just be proud you’re out doing it and not sat behind the wheel of a car being ignorant. 😃

Thanks! My 13 year old son said "you should have flicked him the finger Mum"

The 5 min runs do get easier I promise x

[Hoppy13 in reply to pianoteacher]

He’s quite right. My initial reaction was exactly the same but politeness stopped me offering that advice! 😎

Some people have nothing better to do, it’s quite sad really! Your doing fab, keep up the hard work !!! Xxx

[pianoteacher Graduate in reply to Lisalou1402]

Thanks! I did think to myself I'm a 43 year old woman training for the Territorial Army what are you doing with your life mate but as mrrun says best not to engage!

[Lisalou1402 Graduate in reply to pianoteacher]

Your better than me as he would have got a reply from me 😂😂

Keep up the good work and good luck xx

[misswobble Graduate in reply to pianoteacher]

Yeah he’s right. Not worth your breath,the dick ‘ead

[SuperMouse Graduate]

Just ignore them!

Keep on going you are doing brilliant!

[mrrun Graduate]

It's called anger issue. You don't reply or engage with those guys or it could become a step up from anger. Ignore and keep on running!

[misswobble Graduate in reply to mrrun]

If they got out from behind the wheel more often they wouldn’t be so angry 😁

[mrrun Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Yeah, perhaps. But there's nothing macho about running in the rain wearing silly clothes.

Angry inarticulate screams from inside a German 3 litre engine convertible shows a real man. Bless him.

[Mand102 Graduate]

So a bloke, sat in a car, shouts at you to keep up!! Just think, he was the one sat in the car, you were the one out running, doing physical exercise! He's probably jealous.

Go girl, you'll be chasing his car next!!

[jochanc]

Ignore him like to see him try. You are doing great

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Sheer, unadulterated envy!!

[pianoteacher Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

HaHa!

[oldwheezer69 Graduate]

Ah there are a lot of people out there with no filter on their mouths. Ignore him, go home and look up the sheet music for this 🤣

[pianoteacher Graduate]

Aw thanks for finding that! Good to know there's other musicians on here too

[NJGam Graduate]

People are always so “brave” when they’re in their cars but wouldn’t dare confront you to your face. Sounds like you handled it with dignity though.

[Leojon66]

Can be quite upsetting, and I really can't fathom why anyone would be like this unprovoked. I have found feeling sorry for idiots like this can help me cope - how horrible to be them! "Imagine being such a person, must be awful, so glad I am me" kind of thoughts. And feel good you are running while they are stuck in a car, probably suffering from road rage! 😄
