Have you been in a Fist Fight?

[onecoolmama]

I was working out with my girlfriend and she was shocked that I was in a fist fight. I was shocked that she had never been in one. So have you ever been in one?

 

[cynsaun]

No, but I was in a Winning-the-last-post-of-the-thread fight last night! I think my opponent cheated, though....oh wait, that was you!


Nope, I've never been in a fist fight, ever!


Screaming matches though! You betcha!

 

[flaps]

Neither my spouse nor I have ever been in a fist fight.

 

[LadyAurora]

I never have. Hubby was in many as a rebellious youth, though.

 

[Lars624]

I haven't either

 

[N.Bailey]

Not since I was what, 14? At that time my friend and I got jumped when we were leaving a park. My friend faught the girl, and I got stuck fighting her brother. I lost. LOL

 

[onecoolmama]

I meant anytime (hopefully younger) in life.


I am suprised how many people have never been in one. DH hasn't, but he was a NERD..LOL!


( I am in no way calling any of you nerds!!!)

 

[Crankyshank]

Nope. Never done anything involving fists.
unless you count giving Michael Ronci a black eye for inappropriate touching.

I did slap someone across the face too

Yes, several over the years, but would you believe I was a victim of cirucmstance every time?
My son got in a fist fight yesterday, but he didn't hit first. He is only 5 after all.

i've never actually had to fight although I was threatened alot. I guess because I was always ready to fight and acted like I've been in alot of fights, people used to think I was tough or something. The closest I came was when a group was picking on me in high school (new school - they were the anti-everything group). On the bus they were throwing stuff at me (paper, food, cigarettes, etc.) I just collected everything in my lap and when the bus stop came I threw it all back at them, ran off the bus and started walking home (not running). I was holding my book ready to clock the first kid that came up to me. I knew they could beat me up but I figured I'd get at least one good shot in. They never came after me. The next day the leader said they wouldn't pick on me anymore because they respected that I stood up for myself.

The latest was some young girl, probably in her 20's (and here I am in my 30's) who got upset at me when I couldn't help her with a problem at the store I was working in. She told me she was going to be waiting for me when the store closed. I laughed it off and said 'fine, but you'll have to wait till I close up, so why don't you go have dinner then come back'. She just looked at me so strange - must have thought I was nuts. I actually was shaking in my shoes.

I did do this once. I slapped a friend of mine seated across the table from me - in public, at a fish-fry. I shocked and embarrassed myself big-time. He was a friend of mine (and first cousin to my eventual husband), and I wasn't angry or anything when I slapped him (there's story behind it). I suppose that wasn't as bad as the time I dropped him with a knee to the "privates," though.

Yes, later grade school, high school. Never started one, ever.

Ahhhhh, good clean fist fights. Being a bouncer in my earlier days, I had my fair share of them. They weren't really fights though. The opponent was usually plastered and I didn't have an ounce of booze in me. Liquor really does slow your reflexes and gives you the perception that you have very big muscles. Most of the time it wasn't a pretty sight.

I do remember that I lost one back in 7th grade. This other guy grabbed me in a headlock and gave me a shot to the eye. That was enough for me on that day. I think I am undefeated since then. (insert Rockey smiley here)

I've been in a few.....well...maybe more than a few....but not plenty...

Started a few....ended more than i started...

 

[tiggersmom2]

Yes, some STUPID heifer in a bar came up to me and HIT ME IN THE HEAD WITH A FULL BEER BOTTLE!!!! I guess this idiot just thought I would fall down and play dead - not. I gave her one good punch to the face and a kick in the stomach with my high heel before the bouncer booted her butt outta there!

This was not my fault at all - I cannot help that her skanky, trashy boyfriend kept hitting on me. If she had only asked me about it I could have laid her foolish fears to rest!

BTW - this was when I was about 19 and I no longer hang out in bars.

 

[onecoolmama]

LOL Dan - I knew you had a rebellious side to you!!!


Adam.Big Dude - you have a good point that I never considered. Thet guy I got, was HUGE football player in high school. But he could have been drinking...and I forgot I had rings on. I looked bad, but he looked worse! Tore his face up! And I was mad..I think if you are mad enough you can win!

I initiated it..but I was definaltely provoked!!! Anyway, glad to see that some people have had a good fist fight.

I swear she looked at me like I was !

Yes, I got in a fist fight with a bouncer in a bar! He threw my girlfriend out of a bar after she hit some woman on the head with a beer bottle just because I had been hitting on her. I think she thought that woman would fall down and play dead once she smacked her with the beer bottle, but instead that crazy lady punched her in the face and kicked her in the stomach with her high heel!

It was not my fault at all.....

 

[Tinkerbellish]

Err....let's just say I've been in my fair share. One of which ended with the other person have a broken arm.
