Nice chap running

[lounge lizard]

To the ?gentleman? running past north dulwich station at 7.35am on the road this morning, congratulations for the finger you flipped at my partner, my 2 1/2 year old and my 10 month old. After all stoping for 30 seconds in the drop off point is a bit outrageous.

It takes a big brave bloke to do what you did, even though you are a bit short, bespectacled, crop haired/balding and dressed in very flattering blue lycra, you are clearly big on the inside. Hope the rest of your day is as full of brave acts and you don't trip on any pot holes.

Congrats again big man

Never trust a jogger

way to claim moral high ground - deride someone for being "brave ho ho" and then post a relatively detailed take down of their personal appearance anonymously on a public forum

he may be a dick but he did what he did to your face - you however....

heat of the moment stuff maybe but it's still here half a day later

[the-e-dealer]

this is big news someone stuck their finger up at me . Miss Miss he blew a raspberry ! He took my pencil.

but he didn't do it to his face di he, he just stuck his fingers up at his wife unloading her kids. Why didn't he stop and ask her what she was doing unloading there? I agree with Longe Lizard, act of a tosser.

i'm not trying to defend the jogger at all

I just don't think the post from OP was that much better

and yeah not quite "to their face" - but he was clearly visible to them so wasn't anonymous as such

again, not defending him - just think the post was off

[Alan Medic]

Why was he running on the road and why do you think he flipped a finger?

[Earl Aelfheah]

The jogger sounds a bit uncouth to me. Let's all shake and make up.

Move along there's nothing to see here.

[Louisa]

Jogging sounds pointless to me anyway. Don't get it. If you wanna do some cardio get scrubbing that oven or have a good spring clean as my mother used to say.

Louisa.

[Earl Aelfheah]

...but move along at walking pace - I should have clarified that.

"?!?"

I'll get my coat.

[LadyDeliah]

Did he go onto the road because the car dropping off the sprogs was on the pavement?

[lane lover]

There are always two sides to every story.

What a childish and ridiculous post.

[StraferJack]

yeah - I'd avoid getting into speculation about what might have happened

[lounge lizard]

A bit heat of the moment, I admit but the bloke's behaviour really angered me, and I'm suffering regrets at not having had a word. I suppose I left the post up in the vague hope he might read it, long shot I know.

As for why he was jogging on the road, he looked the type that regarded the pavement as cluttered by annoying pedestrian types

And thanks "lane lover" I've always admired your wise helpful words

[pinecone]

everybody has a bad day now and again.

[JohnL]

You know when someones looking at you .. but you realise they are looking at someone behind you.

It could happen with a finger :)

[Loz]

I think if you had stopped before hitting send, considered your post and not proceeded with the second paragraph, you might still have held the high moral ground.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, we all know what it's like when you're angry at someone and want to lay into them a bit. But you know... have a go at him because he's a dick, not because of the way he looks...

[the-e-dealer]

Eh come on folks he was bald , Short and Wore Glasses

[numbers]

Can see why the OP was angry and wanted to vent but this short, balding, bespectacled man with poor taste in ill-fitting lycra has already shamed himself by sticking his fingers up at a mother in front of her young children. There's never an excuse for that disgusting behaviour.

sounds like jogging in London isn't for him really.

You've speculated about the first bit liz but not the second. That's a crucial part of the story I'd have thought.

There's little excuse for Lycra
