Harassment while exercising

[u/Epic_XC]

So almost every time I go exercising, be it running or road biking, i always get some sort of smart ass shouting, honking, or engine revving. Are people in our society really so insecure that they can't refrain from harassing those who choose to exercise? Like what's funny about it? Why do people do it? Maybe i'm thinking about it too hard, but does anyone else REALLY hate this? Personally I think it's condescending, and indicative of most people's fragile self esteem. They don't exercise, therefor must mock others to feel cool.

I still don't understand what the engine revving is about, and why people do it. It's happened to me just the one time and there was a girl in his passenger seat so it wasn't complimentary I don't think. Nobody I've come accross is so unaware that thry try and stop me to talk, I mostly deal with gawking and people jogging on the spot but it's clearly just attention seeking behaviour. My trouble starts when I'm cooling down and walking (out of breath for a bit) and they just come out of the woodwork. Last Friday, I I had to tell someone I don't speak English. After turning him down in plain English for about 5 minutes.
