[exercise] Dorkiness

[astra_nomer]

So I went for a run kind of late last night because I failed to get up early enough to do it in the morning. I followed my usual 3-ish mile course through our residential neighborhood. There I am, jogging down the main artery into our subdivision, when a SUV full of giddy teenagers drives past me, loudly mocking and hooting at me as they go by.

Now really, WTF?

It's not like it's the first time it's happened. I figure, they see a dumpy, overweight, middle-aged woman puttering along, engaged in what seems to them a completely pointless activity, and they lack any impulse control whatsoever and so they let loose.

My only consolation is that someday, they too will be dumpy, overweight and middle-aged, and we'll see who laughs then.

Often obnoxious men will honk and shout when they pass me gardening in the front yard. I have never determined whether it is because they think I am attractive or unattractive, and I don't care. Mostly I just hate them all. I guess the same would work for teens.

I've encountered those men while jogging, too. Maybe they're the men who never grew up?

Many men fall into this category. Luckily not all.
