I was a non functioning alcoholic and ran with some rough types in my late teens/early 20s and have both kicked ass and had my ass kicked. Mostly drunken barfights.
One time someone legitimately mistook me for someone else and started cussing at me, so I started cussing back and pushed him to the ground. He got up and did a really neat move actually where he faked a kick and then socked me right in the cheek, knocked me on my ass. I apologized, got up, we figured out the misunderstanding and he bought me a beer.
If you’re counting early 20’s as “adult” then yeah, although looking back, I acted nothing like an adult. Adults don’t get into fistfights in the tavern parking lot.
I work with aggressive teenagers, so once or twice a year.
Only if you count the accidental backhanded punch of my ex-wife while I was having a dream where I got attacked and had to punch someone.
I’ve never been punched in the face, only had my face full force thrust into a vending machine by a teenage bully when I was like 8 or 9 because I wouldn’t let him cut in the long line at the pool and use the money I had already started putting in the machine.
I got socked trying to break up a 5 man brawl at a steak n shake.
Pulled a guy off another guy and he turned around and punched me in the eye. That was right before someone threw a chair through one of the windows.
Everyone just kinda stopped after that and the dude that punched me apologized.
That was kind of the end of the whole ordeal as everyone just kinda left real quick.
My brother and I were dancing at his wedding. He was imitating dance-moves that Mac from IASIP does with his elbows and accidentally bow’ed me in the jaw. It hurt but was pretty funny.
Same brother as a teen was showing me his shadow-boxing skills and punched my nose. Again it was funny, but it made me cry lol. Obviously I’m the younger sibling…
Yeah. Super drunk dude who got thrown out of a bar decided everyone was on his shitlist. Apparently, he was known to the cops. I was standing outside and dude ran up in punched me. I hadn’t said a word to him the whole night. Not sure why he picked me. He appeared to be coked out, so there’s that. He was arrested for something else (DV, I think) not long after.
so many times. abusive gf. boxing lessons. getting jumped by 10 people. fights… etc
I drove through southern England in a camper van. A car coming the other way at a narrow part of the road stopped and the driver motioned for me to wind my window down. I stopped beside him and did so cause I thought he wanted to ask or tell me something. He punched me in the face and drove off.
To this day I have no idea what that was about, the only explanation I could come up with were my German license plates.ah, a local welcome punch. a highest honor
In some towns that makes you the mayor.
You were on the right lane 🙂
No. Most of the world drives on the right lane. The British drive on the correct lane.
I’m sorry that must have sucked, but that’s a hilarious story
Luckily there isn’t much weight behind an upwards punch from a car seat. He knocked my glasses down, otherwise I was completely bewildered but unhurt.
I’ve taken some practice swords to the face while wearing a plate helmet, if that counts.
I signed up for it (Muay Thai)
The only person I have ever punched and been actually punched by is my brother. I forget what we were yelling at in our apartment but we’re twins. We got each other in headlocks and just traded punches to the dome. I’m sure that looked like a cartoon from an outside perspective.
I got jumped out of nowhere by two guys on my way home in the night. It sucked. Couldn’t get it out of my mind for the next six months or so.
Shit, that had to suck. Did they rob you?
No. And it was really also only one good sucker punch, so definitely could have come worse. What messed me up mentally too was that it happened like 200m from my appartment.
That’s super traumatic! I’m so sorry that happened to you.
All good now.
Threw a man’s belongings off a train because he was listening to music without headphones.
Worth it.
You, uh… you ok bro?
I was maybe a little inebriated, and he was very rude.
He had to wait for the next train, and I had a sore jaw for a week. Mild inconveniences al round. I think everyone got what they deserved.
You’re doing God’s work.
Only by the dog, who didn’t really mean it.
I like to box, but I’m also not super good at it so multiple times.
