Have you Ever been in a physical fight with someone?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

Yes. I was bullied as a kid because I was taught that "fighting was wrong", and I was a good kid that didn't like to get into trouble. Thus, I didn't fight back when attacked.

The bullying really escalated in Jr. High, and at some point in 8th Grade, I had reached my breaking point, and I no longer cared if I got into trouble. One of my bullies tripped me when running a lap in gym, and I fell and got a rock embedded under the skin of my elbow. I finished the lap with blood dripping down my arm, and proceeded to beat the shit out of him for about 90 seconds before the gym teacher pulled him away from me. The gym teacher was old-school, and knew perfectly well that I'd been bullied, and was happy that I finally took care of it myself. I was ordered to take another lap, and didn't hear another thing about it. The threats of that bully to beat me up after school never materialized - I messed him up pretty good and he didn't want any more.

A couple of weeks later, another bully flicked my ear really hard with a new (full length) pencil. He sat a few seats behind me in math class, and to his surprise, I got up, pulled him out of his seat and slammed him against the back wall, and told him never to touch me again. He was smiling at first, but in a bit of shock when he hit that wall. He was waiting for me after class, and I beat his ass for about 2 minutes before several teachers pulled us apart. I got a week's worth of on-campus suspension - we had to go to a classroom and sit in silence, doing nothing all day.

One other bully poured a bottle of Elmer's glue into my backpack on the school bus without me knowing it and ruined my school books, notebook, and the backpack itself. He thought it was hilarious until I hit him. This kid was a better fighter, and he did some damage to me (I had a black eye and a split lip), but I ended up on top of him and gave him a really good beating - and this happened at the bus stop after school, where there were no adults to stop us. As far as I can tell, he never even looked in my direction again.

My assumption was that everyone would hate me for defending myself, but just the opposite happened - I went from being an outcast to being invited to things, and people who had never talked to me were now doing so. Of course, I now understand that they couldn't respect me until I respected myself, but at the time, my misguided and mis-articulated parental teaching wouldn't allow me to do anything - until I finally got to the point where the consequences no longer mattered to me.

I've technically been in a couple of fights since then, but only in the defense of someone else - they weren't "my" fights in the way that those were.

Been in more than my share, likely😅 Had my scraps on my own time, plus I was a bouncer for like ten years, so I’ve seen some action. Hadn’t gotten into anything for another decade until a couple of months ago, I got in a fight with a goalie in one of my hockey games lmfao. But it’s the one time I’ve gotten myself on tape fighting (the rink has cameras and there’s a subscription service for rink cameras all over North America), so I’m just glad I looked good in this one😂 That goalie is a punk who fucks with people ALL THE TIME, so I was happy to be the guy to finally sit him on his ass lmfao.

Look how slowly the referee pulled up to break us up, not even striding, just gliding in casually lmao, and how half-heartedly #31 in yellow is trying restrain me…. everyone in the building wanted to see this kid get laid down😂😂😂

A girl smacked my guy in a bar. She thought he said something, when it was actually another guy who said it. She made a mistake. I had no choice but to pulverize her.
I gave her a beat down that she will never forget. My husband is a kind gentlemen.
One thing that my papa taught us kids, is to NEVER mess with a mamma bear or her cubs. Wise advice.

I have twice. Two times I was pushed, not literally but pushed to my limit in terms of patience by someone who hated me for some reason and wanted to ruin my everyday. And I snapped.
And some friendly sparring with my brothers :)

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Yeah, I have been in a dozen fights or so. Got bulli edd d hard when I was a kid and since the teaches didn't do shit and only amplified to pro emblem when I spoke, I took matters into my own hands and punched a lot of them out. That got it to stop.

Useful skill should you get caught on the wrong end of someone.

I'm a second degree Brown in both Judo and Akkido and teach women's self defense and bar bouncers (I'm like the movie Road House's 'Cooler') and a retired police officer and Executive Protection bodyguard ('Dark Angel').

3 deceased and one lifetime-disabled who'll remember HIS choice EVER TIME IT RAINS.
I don't START fights, but if pressed, I WILL finish them. This isn't high school.~

I got into a fight with a friend of mine years ago when he locked himself in the bathroom and downed a bunch of stuff in the medicine cabinet.

I still have scars from him throwing me into glass and pulling a knife out at some point. If the cops didn't show up, he would have driven away.

Yes.

Most people are complete pussies by the way. 90% of the time if anyone ever bullied me or fucked with me the minute I just said, “okay, well let’s fight then” 🤷‍♂️ they stopped and never bothered me again. Most people are all talk. Especially bullies.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, a few. Mostly in junior high and high school. The last one was when I was around 20. It was not a real fight, I just pulled a loudmouth backwards off a bar stool and slammed his head on the floor. He was insulting my best friend's wife.

MCheetah · Answer

Yeah, plenty. I used to work concert security, executive protection (bodyguarding), and was a bouncer ten years ago. Never lost a fight yet.

_deeznuts · Answer

Yeah this one guy in high school kept trying to grab this girls ass whom repeatedly asked him to stop so like I walked over to him and punched him, then the whole thing escalated. This happened like another time with a different group of people and it was basically the same thing.

Plenty when I was young, but not for a long time. With age comes wisdom.

IJhonnyI · Answer

Yea, don't know why he had the idea that I was friendly but he learned his lesson

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

No. I’ve wrestled and boxed and fenced and sparred with pugilist sticks—but I can’t imagine getting in a fight.  …not with a person. I’ve been in some real fur balls with livestock….
