I street run to clear my mind, treadmill running isn't the same, I feel like a hamster on a wheel when I do that. But the fats I encounter are deaf, blind and dumb. They can hear me running up the road behind them, they turn to see me and yet they don't move to the side. I barge through them and keep going, they can yell and huff at me all they want- my music drowns them out well before I pass them.

I run streets as well. I've made comments in the past about traffic and fatties and the general shit one comes across while running in public. It's annoying, at the very least, and dangerous at the other end of the spectrum.

It never fails to amaze me how people can be so obnoxious toward others that they'll look over their shoulder if you're running in the same direction, coming up behind them, and yell out "runner passing right" or something to similar effect, and they, after looking and seeing you, still refuse to move over and allow room to pass on the sidewalk. It's one of the main reasons I rarely use sidewalks anymore and just stick to the shoulder of the road. Because even running toward them while they walk in your direction, they just don't. fucking. move. Which means you're off the sidewalk again, anyway. I've had fatties yell shit at me, some rude shit, some shit about my body/ass/whatever, but I just keep going. They're not worth the hassle.

Although, I will admit, there is some allure to just running right into their group and seeing if I can't knock any over, for personal satisfaction and comedic effect, at least.

Some days I don't want to run for whatever reason. And then I remember the looks of hate fat people give me when I pass them. And that gets me out the door to be fitshamed another day.

definitely my thoughts as well, I would rather knock them over than run into a car. In the mornings they are rarely on the street, except when they want to waddle from their car to the nearest dunkin' or starbucks, and in that moment I make it my personal mission to topple their beetus drinks.

Same for the bike trails around my town. There are parts where it's wide enough to accommodate 8 humans to walk side by side yet the fat fucks still manage to block it off completely with as few as 2 (it's all in the arms sticking out, swinging about as they waddle).

"On your left" is the polite, quick way to let people know you're about to pass them, humans typically have a quick "Shit, which side's left again?" moment, laugh, then greet you as you pass by. Cows? They'll just completely ignore you. It's gotten to the point where I'll have to ride a couple of feet directly behind them yelling "ON YOUR LEFT" louder and louder until they snap out of their food fantasies, then call me an asshole as they give me the minimum amount of space to squeeze by.
