How frequently to you guys/gals get aggro from others as I've never experienced it?
In the summer there´s not a problem as they are all at grass but in the winter ... flighty buggers, fed on oats, and very easily spooked. I seemed to spend last winter climbing into ditches so that people could get their horses past me until I realised that it was my bright orange windproof they objected to ... if I see a horse coming I take it off and roll it up and hide it behind my back and there´s not a problem. What is it about horses and the colour orange?
Or.......ignore 'em, they hate it when you don't respond.
I despise them because they have affected my opportunity to take my wife and daughter out 'jogging'. The ##stards are out there somewhere on almost every run, and can be too confrontational for them to feel comfortable. Naturally - I rise to the occasion every time, which makes every encounter a possible incident . . . OOOOPS it's too much for the girls - and potential bundle for the boys ! NOT FUNNY but a reality where I live ! -:Q)
I find that post-retirement people tend to be very encouraging, and have lots of shouts of support from them when racing, and the occasional nod and smile when training.
I presume the difference is down to having had some experience of life and realising what matters.
was about to give the finger
Cos I heard" bottom"
But It could have been "well done" i suppose
However . . . when out on a non-event . . . alone or with wife & daughter, the morons are there in plentiful supply.
Yes - fully agree - the 'older generation(s)' are full of reason and decency. Willing to offer a supportive smile or encouragement.
It's the 'youth of today' that we seem to have bred !!!!!! OH MY God - where are these morons coming from? Mars, Venus, Some inter-planetary S#it pile somewhere ????? -:Q)
Brilliant idea, why didn't I think of that. -:Q)
The kids I come across do not appear to be lacking in confidence or education.
They are spoilt little brats with too much to say for themselves! They have lots of confidence and self esteem because they are used to getting their own way and getting all the material things they desire.
And yet they are still little S**ts!!
After numerous trips past them (with further quips as I passed) the combination of hangover, sun, heat and lack of water had finally beaten me and I announced to them that it would be my last lap. As I approached them for the final time, they all rose to their feet and clapped me through shouting ‘well done’ and other words of encouragement.
Had I earned their respect, or were they still taking the p*ss? … I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I do wonder though if there were some females present whether their reactions may have been different.
The kids who are shouting abuse at runners are probably the same kids who are lippy in class and carry out small mindless acts of vandalism - you know marker pens on lamp posts etc. I live in a nice suburb, the kids who live near me go to a highly regarded school but I still see this.
I don't want to come over all political, but there is a theory that these kids are pretty much the offspring of Thatcher's children. Their parents have little respect for teachers or authority in general and society - what's that? It's all, "ME,ME, ME what do I want?" Has anyone out their ever tried telling a parent that their little sod has abused them? Pound to a penny they take the kids side.
It's not all gloom and doom though. There are nice people - old and young out there. Sometimes it just appears out of balance!
P.S. I was in second year seniors (year 8 in new money) when Thatcher became PM. These kids are the offspring of my generation! Aarrgh!
It took all my strength not to acknowledge that he had spoken to me! Little b*ggers...
One of them sort of detached himself from the group and I wondered what "amusing" comment I'd get from him, trying to impress his mates.
"Keep up the pace. You can make it up the hill. Go on, push it"
I nearly fell over. I managed to gasp out a "Thanks" and it really spurred me on (I did make it up the hill).
They're not all bad.
They were a small herd of cows . . . animals are such friendly creatures in comparison to the morons that weve been discussing ! -:Q)
Who said "Bring Back National Service" ? -:Q)
Who Said "Bring Back The Local Bobby" ? -:Q)
I say "Name and Shame" - In a style that does not give them any 'street cred' amongst their peers. Also shaming their parents and their wider family. That ought to evoke a bit of leverage to make the Bas#'rds more responsible for their actionz !!! -:Q)
(from a lad of about 11) "Come on, you WILL finish that marathon!" - rather sweet, really.
(from a bunch of pre-teen kids) "Get those knees up, slaphead!" - sound advice, I suppose.
(from a couple of young teenage girls) "Blimey, look at the tits on that!" - I had to look around but yes, it was directed at me. My man tits aren't that big, humpf.
They were shouting,laughing and having a great time until they saw me.... then the silence......
I ran past.... not a word and i started to think i had got away with it until,i was 20 - 30 yards past the group when the following comment came my way........... wait for it.........
where's your mate 118!!!
too which they all burst out laughing!!!! followed by (all at the same time)
run forrest run!!! little b****rds....
must say though.... the 118 comment did have me smiling all the way home!
P.s couldn't think of a put down worthy to reply with.....
sad.p
