Completely offended with the human race.
So I am training to run a full marathon currently. I am running outside in the blistering heat to build up some immunity an also to get in roughly 10 miles a day. So I am about 7 miles in to my run and I am huffing it, in my rear I hear a car coming up on the road, mind you I am running on a side walk about 7-10 feet from the road, out of nowhere some punk ass kids hit me with a hand full of change from behind. Now it wasn't that I got hurt or anything, a quarter at any speed is not gonna hurt my thick skin but seriously!?!? Are you kidding me!?!? I am 24 pretty young but I never remember doing shot like that.
Kids these days, the future generations are screwed. |

I am by far the wrong person to hit with something, I am 6'1" and 235 of muscle. If they were to stop and me catch them would be the end of atleast one of the kids careers in any sport. I would probably be charged with battery for how much damage i would cause. Okay I may actually not do that but, jeesh if i were in the moment i dont know what i would do. |

And people wonder why motorcyclists carry rocks, ball bearings and guns with them.... we get screwed with quite often on the road.

I know a couple people that run. They got to where they will carry 1-2 1/2" dia ball bearings in their pocket just for things like this. They will break a back window pretty easily.
They also carry mace and a tazer because runners are very easily targeted. |

You know how you win? You pick up those quarters and go buy yourself a gatorade at the end of your run.

It's sad how people have so little respect for each other.

seriously.....if I were to be out running in a fairly remote area.....and was someone with a carry licence.....someone might think twice.....I wouldn't shoot AT THEM, but at least they might think again when they head the shots ring out.

But seriously OP, you can't let those kind of people get to you. You're training for a marathon and they're driving around throwing quarters at people. Find comfort in the fact that those kids are probably going to end up at alternative high schools serving you your lunch while you're busting your ass for success. |
