To think you don't ask a runner for directions

[Nocabbageinmyeye]

I find this so annoying, out running this morning and a car stops to ask me directions, it's not the first time it's happened, I'm not the only one around, why would you stop the person clearly out for a run instead of someone clearly out for a leisurely stroll or go into the local shop. I stopped this morning as I was only into the second km but last time I was almost home after a 10km and the colour of a tomato so just said "ah come off it"as I kept running. Why would you do that, aibu to think it's rude? It's annoying anyway I know I'm not unreasonable in saying that

I'd ask a runner if they were the only person I saw and I was getting distressed, there's a huge enormous chance we might even know one another or be in the same running club - as you can see above, it's not a very densely populated area.

If I get lost when I am running tnough I often just keep going and eventually find somewhere I know. Only if I am time limited would it be an issue!

As a general rule I try to run within two or three miles of a base, like a friend's in town, but I actually find it really hard to plan routes for longer runs that don't involve busy roads while being primarily road (training for a road race)

I actually just posed this question tongue in cheek but love that everyone is giving it real thought

I've been giving it thought since Sunday when I got lost and cried 😳 I've only just started taking a phone with me in the past 2 weeks but now I'm thinking phone plus £££ for taxi might be a good plan.

Poor devil A taxi home from a run actually sounds like the way forward even if you're not lost.
