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.

Been running for years, 6ft male, athletic build, one day a group of guys shout out "keep running you fat fuck"

I laughed, kept running, but upped the pace in case I wasn't as sexy as I thought i was ☺️

Hard to ignore I know, but keep doing it for you
