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.
Does getting knocked out by walking into a glass door count? Broke my nose, btw.
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.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.
ah, a local welcome punch. a highest honor
You were on the right lane 🙂
No. Most of the world drives on the right lane. The British drive on the correct lane.

I signed up for it (Muay Thai)
I like to box, but I’m also not super good at it so multiple times.
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.
Threw a man’s belongings off a train because he was listening to music without headphones.
Worth it.
You’re doing God’s work.
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 don’t think I ever got punched in the face. Haven’t even been in a fight.
Many many times. Because I boxed. Nothing more fun than being punched in the face under the right conditions.
Back when MMA was a new thing I did a class. Made my ears ring lol
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.
When I was 22 y.o. I punched someone from the rival team in a football match until he fell to the floor because he pushed a teammate into a rocky slope after the ball was out of play. I got expelled from the league (and the match obviously). I got kicked and punched but not in the face by the rest of his teammates.
Once, a couple of months ago when a junkie broke into my house.
Got punched over the counter while working at a liquor store. The dude had been 6 times already that day to get our cheapest/highest ABV Beer and was back for more when suddenly he decided the price was too high. He argued with me (working solo at the time) and things escalated to the point where he pooped me in the nose. I was able to dodge most of the force of it due to the distance and his drunkenness, but he got the tip of my nose with a clumsy naymaker.
After he hit me he suddenly had a realization about what he’d done and he ran away as I threatened to call the cops (an empty threat, I live in America and only call the cops when someone might die because calling the American cops might be the cause of someone’s death). Never saw him again.
The kicker is that he’d already paid for his beer when he started the argument and forgot to grab it as he ran.
