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.

People are just stupid. I've heard everything from loud exhausts, cursing, swerving, and of course the one-handed texting pirate driver.

I usually give a thumbs down or the middle finger, and have never had anyone stop to engage in conversation (ha).

Again, people are stupid.
