Today, about 10 minutes into my first jog in months, someone in a car started following me, yelling stuff like "Oh my god, it's Shamu!" and "Run faster, fatty!" I ended up breaking down in tears before he finally sped off, roaring with laughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape. I went for a jog around my neighborhood. The ice cream truck followed me for my whole jog, mocking me. FML
Today, I was jogging with my shirt off, feeling confident and athletic. A car slowed down next to me. I expected a compliment, but instead, a kid leaned out the window and yelled, “Put it back on, Shrek!” FML
Today, while out for a jog, I noticed that you never know how fast you run until you're being followed by someone in a car you don't know, and they're continuously honking at you. I later found out it my dad in his new car. FML
Today, I went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML
Today, I was walking on a path through a park by myself. I glanced at the ground and saw a shadow behind me. Thinking of an attacker, I screamed as loud as I could and began flailing my arms to ward him off. Turns out, it was a jogger. He had to stop due to his uncontrollable laughter. FML
Today, I walked outside to see my friend frantically waving and running at me, yelling something I couldn't understand. I smiled and started to jog over to him until I realized he was screaming "RUN!!!" We spent the next 10 minutes running from his neighbor's 5 vicious chihuahuas. FML
Today, some guy on a bike kept taunting me about my weight while I was out jogging. He ended up hitting a street lamp and fell off his bike. I had a real good laugh at him for all of 5 seconds before he got mad and really made me run. FML
Today, feeling out of shape, I went for a jog. I got mugged. FML

What the hell? That's disgusting. I'm sorry, OP. That dude was obviously bored with his own sad life and needs to get a job or something to occupy himself.

Don't feel bad. People can be real assholes. I'm sure ur an amazing person and deciding to go for a run is very good. Running is good for you but don't over do it. And don't listen to assholes.

That guy feels like shit about himself; don't let him bring you down!

That's just cruel D: Ignore him, OP. He's a mega douche anyways. He's probably not in the best shape himself, or if he is, he definitely wasn't born that way. Keep up your hard work, it all pays off in the end!

He has an ugly soul. Everyone has been taunted or made to feel ashamed about something. That asshole clearly has no empathy or compassion. People like that are losers and will die alone.

Look at you go, taking initiative and doing something great for yourself. Seriously. Don't take it to heart, as hard as that may sound. This world is full of horrible people, it's just very unfortunate that you had to meet one this way. Keep at it and reach your goal. Then you can be the one laughing at him. You should be proud of yourself. Please keep at it, and don't let one asshole ruin your self-confidence. He's the one who has something to be ashamed about, not you.

Don't let jerks like that get you down! Just remember, you're going to look great and people like that never make it in the long run.

How exactly does he think people lose weight? He must really suck at life if he needs to make fun of others taking positive steps in their life to feel good about himself. You certainly don't deserve that kind of pointless hatred from a stranger, but don't give him enough power to keep you from your goals. He isn't worth sacrificing your health or possibly shortening your life. I would run with music on though, loud enough not to hear him in case he comes back.

If he isn't worth shortening your life over, don't run with loud music just to drown him out. The music will also keep you from hearing important things like oncoming traffic.

Next time just stop running OP. Stop, look at them with indifference and they'll leave you alone faster, then you can get on with your run in peace. Or even better, turn around and run the other way!

tell him to kiss your fat ass and keep truckin'. That will shut him up.
