PGR5 Cheeky S**T!!!

[Dralimc]

Found a great route today, downhills and flats along canal and river. Passed a scout camp, and a 10yo boy whacking foliage with his stick:

‘Do you have a lighter?’

‘I’m a runner (I said proudly). Do I look like I have a lighter? (I said provocatively’

‘You’re a f**king runner; you’re a f**king runner; don’t have a f**king lighter; f**king stupid b***h’

‘And you’re a cheeky s**t’.

Admittedly, I could have handled this better, set a good example etc. See what you’re missing out on all you treadmill runners? It’s a tough world out there....

Oh, broke my 4K barrier in under 30 mins as well. Consequence of running away from scary 10yo. 😂

Happy running peeps. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️😊

Oh that sounds a bit harsh. I think I might of run away as well with the mouth that was on him.😳. Well done on your Pb. I wouldn’t go looking for 10 year old boys to make you run faster though 😉.

Hahahahaha good reply!

🤣🤣🤣 I think you handled that perfectly, lol, I’d had done the same but I’d have spent the rest of my run chundering away to myself loads of other insults I could have replied with, lol 😂

Next time carry a lighter, problem solved 😂😂😂

On my honour I promise to do my best to do my duty to God and to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the scout law....

Whatever happened to ‘being prepared’. He should’ve had his own lighter or been able to rub sticks together to light a fag 😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😂 yep, sadly at about that age I had my own lighter

[Dralimc Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes, but you are, as you say, unfit no more....😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Dralimc]

Second day without a smoke... W1R2 in the morning, and no police tape around the house so I think I’ve kept my temper well!

[Dralimc Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Doing better than the 10yo!!!

[Dralimc Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Absolutely! Kids today, where’s their resourcefulness??!! 🏃🏻‍♀️

[Crittermad Graduate]

Ugh! I was in the brownies and had to do some pledge about being kind to others etc etc - obvs not now!

Scouts has obviously gone to the dogs - ASBO scouts perhaps?

One problem/challenge with running is the need to get your quips out extra quick!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Crittermad]

I’ll look forward to that... right now I’d have to stop, spend a minute catching my breath and then deal the quip. Think it may cause it to lose its impact.

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Ooh I'd have been steaming and spent the rest of my run churning over the put downs I should have thought of.

It has provided much laughter in our house tho! My 13yo son said ‘does he not know how to speak to adults?’. Obviously not!
