Smug runners/joggers
Discussion
Most towns have an amature running club I'm guessing and I'm also surmising that they are all pretty much full of smug gits! 
Went for a run tonight and came across a wave of hi-vis clad runners, around 30 of the f
kers, all heading down on me. They didn't even attempt to make a little passage for me, and the numerous walkers going in the same direction. I was forced to stop and wait for them all to pant past.
I had to say something so made sure they knew I was a tad miffed. "Dont mind me I'll just stop" :lookup:
"You don't have a high-vis vest on" came the smug reply. :shock:
Oh that's fair enough then. Tell that to the walkers you pricking fk wad.
Why do they all need to run together, why not just let the three groups leave at 5 min intervals (beginner, intermediate, smug)
I think a polite email is in order.
End rant.

Unfortunately you do get some runners who are like that. Bear in mind that the 30 or so you saw will have been a small proportion of the full club. I'd drop the club an email (polite, concise, etc) letting them know your experience and suggesting it doesn't reflect (geddit?

) well on the club.Some of the runners at my local club seem to think that their reflective vest gives them immunity from traffic too - I've tried to explain that they are still responsible for their own safety but most of them are somewhat foolish.
An energy saving martial arts tip from TheCarpetCleaner -
Next time, stand facing the incoming flock of fkwits, make a good solid fist and a good solid stance, and hold said fist at face level.
As you are not wearing a reflective jacket, they will totally fail to see you and they will each run their face in to your fist at running speed, thus you can punch them all in the face, with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment.
Additionally, leave your foot sticking out to trip up the remaining few, that way you score double points.
I will consider it a personal favour if you could do the same to any smug cyclists you see also, or indeed any male cyclist wearing skin tight spandex cycle clothing. I don't care how much lighter it makes you, its just simply wrong.

You wouldn't say that when in close proximity to one!Lycra wearing male middle aged cyclist is just wrong on so many levels. I just don't get why they think it's acceptable to look like a berk!
