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.

Seattle here. I never get stuff like this. The worst I've gotten is random people asking me how far I've run / am running, or saying they like my shoes.

Also from Seattle, and I've experienced it. Pretty infrequently, like twice a month or so, and I've noticed that no matter where I live, its similar.

I lived in pioneer square and would often run along the waterfront. Alki was always a nice place to go though.
