Ever had a non alcohol-related skirmish with a random in public?

Broke a scallys nose in Salford this summer with my car door on a driving lesson. He was acting hard with his mates ****ing around next to the car when i was sat in it with my instructor and didnt actually know how short a fuse i had... until i waited till his face was at window level and threw the door open and spread his nose across his cheeks - followed by getting out and staring at them all - good times.
 
Yeah a white van cut me up, force a cyclist and 2 cars to swerve out of the way - I hooted. He came out to have a chat, I knocked him out (pretty much). Not proud of it at all, and was very close to being arrested, but the witness statements cleared me as well as my humble and remorseful behaviour.

In fact I posted it here:

Got attacked on a bus once, on the way into Wolverhampton city centre...11.30am on a Friday morning.

Single decker bus, me sitting fairly near the back but minding my own business. Some chav morons, all probably 16-20, thinking its hilarious to chuck small balls of rolled up newspaper at everyone. I ignored it completely until they decided paper wasn't good enough and chucked a half full can of coke at the back of my head. I told them where to go (couple of four letter words included as you might expect). They did nothing until about 30 seconds later when one of them decided it was funny to get up, run at me and punch me in the back of my head. I stood up and punched the guy back then 3 of them all piled in and I got battered :(

Nobody on the bus did anything but start screaming apart from one random Eastern European guy who got up and started punching the chavs....legend.
 
I was once in Basildon when.. :p

In actuality I've never been involved in a physical fight with another person since I was about 14 years old. Similar to others there's been a few close moments.
 
I've managed to never get into a fight. Not that I go looking for/avoiding them.

Normally the only time I might kick off is on nights out. The fact I've had a few might have something to do with it but isn't the sole reason. Lack of peoples manners really annoys me. Specifcally barging/bumping into people on the dancefloor. There's no harm done with a hand on someones back an 'excuse me' and squeezing past. Full on knocking into me is only going to end badly.

I haven't got a problem confronting people if I have an issue and I sure as hell will not be intimidated. Never will I swing first because I've paid to come out and have a good night and it ultimatley lands you in the **** having started it. Normally people intervene before anything gets to kick off.

Funnily enough I usually end up stopping skirmishes as I manage to diffuse situations quite well.

Don't get me wrong I never wish to hurt another human being, especially for such petty reasons. But if I'm pushed to the point that I snap I know it won't be pritty.

Some advice I once heard was to 'never let women see you fight, because they'll never look at you the same', wether it be because you absolutley destroy somebody and horrify them with your 'no mercy' tactics or punch like a 7 year old girl.

Edit: People not moving out the way/letting you past easily really grinds my gears too. Specially if there's a group which forces me to step off the pavement. I don't see why anybody should have to walk in the road when one could just drop back and behind momentarily to let you pass.
 
"grinds my gears" reminds me of that Family Guy episode.

On topic, yeah have never fought myself, always best to run when you're little :D
 
Never really had much major when sober. Just usual big man neds around here thinking they have a name for themself. Fat boy aroung 5' 5" telling my mate whos 6' 4" and slightly built that he wasn't getting his games back....funny.

I tend to talk my way out of fights(even after saying Tiocfaidh ár lá to two irish men during an argument). My mates on the other hand get random headbuts or done in by 5 boys on the bus.
 
Queuing to get in Amnesia last month were were in the guest list queue and had to be in by 1am or something, the queue was hardly moving when one foreign guy (lol I say foreign but I think he was spanish and we were on a spanish Island anyway I digress) walks straight up in front of us and barges in..
My mate was face to face with him and started with the "who the **** do you think you are, get to the back of the queue and wait like everyone else" Foreign guy starts going on about it being his country and we should also learn his language.

Anyway the queue shuffles forward and I lean through between my mate and the foreign guy and grab a hand rail effectively barring him walking forward.
He start jostling me trying to get my arm off the rail, I twist my head round and look at him and just said "I don't think so mate" and looked away.
I was all prepped for a fist to come at me at that point, I had my elbow of the arm going across his front poised to engage with his chin... but the punch never came and he never muttered another word.
Cream on the cake was when we got to the front of the queue, his name wasn't even on the guest list and de management wouldn't let him in. we lol'd at him from the doorway knowing full well his only other option would be to get in the main peasants queue which went the whole way round the club and and came with an entrance fee of 60 euro LOLOLOL

I suppose I can't count this weekends antics with another mate getting barged around on a dance floor by some meat head who couldn't lower his arms because of his wings.
Thought he was hard so my mate egged him on to the point of him losing it and shoving my mate backwards. he made the most of this and threw himself across the dancefloor knocking stools and drinks flying, bouncers waded in and lobbed the meathead out. :D
Alcoholic based though I guess so doesn't count :D
 
when I was 16 coming out of a local swimming pool some hoodied git pinned me to a wall with a knife and said im going to kill you ... stopped and went oh sorry mate your not him. Just forget I was here and ruffled my hair like he was my dad. My mates of course stood there watching.

Was a totally wtf moment but damn scary I dont think I went back to the swimming at night for a year :D
 
When I was much younger and less than entirely sensible, I ended up in a late-night scuffle in a 24-hour garage forecourt that I could easily have avoided if I had just let an insult from a fool slide by me. The aforementioned fool was a lot better at it than I am and landed a very competent punch on the side of my jaw that I never even saw coming. I acted like it was nothing and his mates took him away, teasing him about his weak punch. I continued to act like it was nothing to the concerned employee inside the forecourt shop and bought the sundries I was there for.

In fact, he'd really clanked me one and it hurt like hell. I couldn't eat solid food without a fair bit of pain for several days.
 
I heard that this one time, Platinum87 totally fought a whole city just because it looked at him funny and said something about his mum. He wasn't even drunk.

True story.

Same sort of thing happened to me when I was 16. I was walking into the town centre you have to walk under this tunnel to get past the main road. 3 guys just ran up behind me and pinned me against the wall. Me being a cocky 16 year old at this point was going to at least try and get a kick in 2 one of them and run away. But then I saw the knife.
I will hands up admit it was only a small Paring knife but I just stood there frozen solid. They said sorry mate wrong guy and then left mocking me saying they were proud of me that I didn't wee or poo myself :-\

I stood there for another 5 minutes frozen then when I went to move I started to cry. It was the scariest moment of my life. I couldn't sleep for weeks.

It was in broad daylight as well. About 4 in the afternoon

When my daughter was about 4 these three chavs were walking through the local park with a dog. Dog did a big turd right near where I was standing, so as they walk by I was looking at them, saying nothing, but clearly implying 'gonna clear that up?' They just walk on like these sub-human scum tend to do (no interest in taking responsibility for anything but the first to complain and go for compo when anyone infringes their tiny little lives).

Would have ended there (not the fighting type) when of course my daughter runs up to me to tell me something and goes straight through it and lands on it. Red mist. The three had taken up position on a park bench by then so I get a big stick, take her shoe off and proceed to start flicking what I can off the shoe and onto their backs. One of them goes ape, but the other two don't look interested. Would have been an interesting one - they were all about 18 so it was three on one with a 35 yr old guy but I think they saw how angry I was. There's something about feeling your kids have been violated/threayened. The brave one said I was only being hard cos I had a stick. I calmly bent down, gave it to the offending canine, gave the dog a big bit of love and attention and strode towards the chav.

He backed down and left the scene.
