The other day I saw a runner getting ready for his run, like it was the start of a race. You know, totally still, slightly leaning forward, with 1 finger on the start button of his watch. This was after he did a bunch of dorky stretches. Do you do this?
I really wanted to run in front of him just to be a dick.

Maybe he was participating in the latest craze "The Invisible Race". Forget color runs, compete against people you can't see!

Maybe you should have just watched him and waited....and then right after he started shou out really loudly 'FALSE START!''

Yeap sure do and I don't give a shit what you think of me
Can you post a pic? Nothing good came up on google image search when I typed in "runner dork"
race obsessed
Maybe he was prepping for a timed hard interval...
Though the stretches prior confuse me a little.
BTW, that would truly be a dick move and smacks of some insecurity.
Be back with you in the morning, I got a full length mirror in my bath. Should be able to get some good self pics with it. lol

That most definitely would be a dick move. I may think like a douche, but I have enough restraint not to act like one
Mostly harmless
I'm confused. Which is worse, acting like a dork or being a dick? Does one trump the other? Do they cancel each other out?

You should have raced him!! lol
I do not start like that. I wait for my Garmin to locate, then I start running, and then hit Start.

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
I thought this was going to be a thread about bikers who don't give any indication that they see you running and have deemed all runners to be unworthy of any recognition.
It depends on whether the person is actually a dork, or just being dorky. Same goes for the dick. If somebody is acting like a dick, and the other person is actually a dork, then acting like a dick is worse since the dork can't help it.
Speaking of dorkiness, I have a 20-miler coming up. I think I might dust off my hydration belt.
