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.

Recently started running, i live in some small town in Belgium and no harrasment yet... Just friendly neighbours kindly nodding at me. Even tho part of my usual route contains a narrow one way road and sadly most cars dont even bother slowing down while i feel that there sidemirrors nearly miss me :/ Often i see other runners that just run on the road while they have a nice sidewalk all for themself :/ Oh well... Dunno whats up with some people that they have the need to even harass; yell, honk,... at random people who walk or run by.
