Jogger shoulder barged me today.

[Notsuchafattynow]

I was walking my dog this afternoon, when out of nowhere, a male jogger shoulder barged me. It was very intentional and my shoulder still aches now.

He carried on jogging, and we had the following exchange.

Me: excuse me! You just could have said excuse me!
Him: you took up all the path
Me: thats why you say excuse me! You wouldnt do that to a man.

He jogged futher on then said 'yes I would' and gave me the v's.

I live in a small village so likey to see him again. Should I report?

He was wearing a very distintive jogging outfit, but he kept his back to me, so I could not see his face. His legs were bare, so I could guess he was 60 plus as they were old man legs.

I feel like I was assulted!

Really? Shoulder barging?

Buy a stinger and lay in wait for him to come past again.

Except a man is generally going to barge a hell of a lot harder than a woman would.

You were assaulted.

If that happened to me I'd trip him up if I saw him again coming towards me! And no, I'm not joking!

Joggers and Cyclists on footpaths can be some of the most horrid inconsiderate arseholes out there!

He intentionally physically hurt someone. What is that if not assault.

had he hit her out of the way with his arm or hand or kicked her out of the way I’m sure you would call it assault. What makes a forceful hit with a shoulder any different?

Next time you see him pretend to take a photo of him or film him.

When he asks what you're doing tell hi you're taking a video or photo to support the police report you made about him.

Or pretend to livestream him and say you've got a channel calling inconsiderate, mediocre middle-aged jogging men with ugly legs.

Today in the news a teenager stabs a young lad walking home from school because he could and it turns out he had hurt several other people just because he liked it . It’s not a million miles away. The world is a scary place right now.

It’s assault, and shouldn’t be minimised.

Log it with the non emergency police.

Had a women jogger do this to me before when I was out with my the toddler because me looking down at my toddler walking one side of the path leaving the whole other side clear was in the way according to her.

She got a few slightly twisted to become polite impolite words thrown her way.

How would you “express” being fucking upset @TwentyFourHoursToTulsa ?

Dreadful. Do you remember that male jogger that pushed a woman into the road on a bridge in London? I don't think they ever caught him did they. There are some dangerous knobs around. They must have serious anger issues to assault lone females. Scary.

Oh yes! Was he ever caught?

This happened to me when I was on holiday abroad about 10 years ago. He barged me with his huge shoulder so hard he really hurt my neck and I had to fly home unable to straighten my head properly - it was like a really bad cricked neck. He didn’t apologise or even look at me - just carried on jogging.

Carry a ball ( for your dog, of course) and throw it ( for your dog, of course) and.....whoops!

Of course this is a man Vs woman issue!!!!!

There is NO WAY this dickhead would have barged a bloke his own size.

Report the prick.

Don't be ridiculous.

Trip him up when you next see him. Carry one of those portable alarms too so you can deafen him when he's down

I could guess he was 60 plus as they were old man legs.

Really?

Its not a man thing, i never get barged by men but have been by teenage girls and im a little grey haired women.

Loudly.

Yes but what would you actually say if, in your own example of standing in a Lidl queue you were barged hard? I know you’d say it “loudly” but beyond that?

I would go "Hey! Excuse me! That hurt! What do you think you're doing?" very loudly. My voice carries.

Do you think in some way that I shouldn't object to being shoulder barged?!

So pretty much what I said to the woman barger

Next time, stick your foot out!
