    I was walking home last night, walked past three guys, and one of them just punched me in the face as he walked past. didn't rob me, didn't say anything, just punched me in the face.

    I think I'll stay inside for a while


    Have you ever been punched in the face for no reason? I would probably rate it about 2/10 and wouldn't recommend it to a friend

    I've been kicked....by fac.. a guy falling down from being crowdsurfed at a gig once.

    3/10. His form, although sloppy, was impressive. Like Jackie Chan when he pretends to be drunk in that movie....what was it called....Police Story....or his other one.....Dragon Wounds...no Exit the Dragon.

    Don't. Then he wins, when in fact you won by taking the punch and walking on home. You're a hero.

    try getting a slap of a bottle. its no fun either, happened to me in a nightclub years back - a case of mistaken identity i found out later, the dirty skobe even apologised. It doesnt break to bits like in the movies, and you dont stand up and right the wrong with roundhouse kicks either.

    You need to do Krav Maga. You'd be aware of your surroundings and trained to instantly react to someone about to throw a punch at you.

    My friend was being a dick one night, and later on, one lad who was pissed off with him came up and just leveled me, without me ever seeing or talking to him, just because I was in the pub with my friend.

    Cracked me right on the cheek bone, and left me with a black eye and sore face and teeth. My mate didn't get a scratch.

    We laugh about it now, but at the time I was furious with him!

    Quite often. Sometimes even kicks.
    The whole getting more points for kicks and punches to the face makes it quite a nice target.

    Yeah I have been punched in the head and it's no fun at all . It happened while on a night out . I was kissing a woman and we where having a flirt . Her jealous ex punched me to the back of the head . It wasn't one bit fun at all .

    Not just punched, but kicked. Repeatedly. It wasn't fun.

    I've never been punched. I find that if you walk really quickly, nobody ever bothers you. Also, I don't drink, and I rarely find myself in the presence of drunk people or the kind of people who like punching.

    that's awfully kind but really all I did was take a punch to the face, wasn't even a fight or flight kind of thing I just stood back up and started walking again and didn't look back. now I'm sitting here drinking through a straw and I can't remember the 4-5 minutes after it happened. But I was up until 4 spitting blood into the sink :cool:

    All jokes aside, don't dwell on it and don't let it affect your confidence, ts easy to overthink these kind of events and get obsessed / depressed by it. there are ar$eholes in all walks of life and you were just unlucky to run into a major one. Chalk it down to experience and move on.

    I've been headbutted. It sucks, I'd much rather a punch.

    Not yet but I will. I don't think there will be any possibility of the person being found but it'll at least have it on file so they know to check up on that area in case these people do it all the time

    Nope, I've never taken or given a proper smack :o

    If the time comes for taking or giving punches, I'd like to think I'd be well able to do both, but I suppose you never know 'til you're there.

    I was drunk one night and got a punch very unexpectedly for no reason.Burst my nose and lip too , herself was with me , pissed herself laughing .
    It was her fault too , her and her bottle of wine and that stupid fcukin corkscrew from Barcelona.
    She wasn't laughing when she saw the cork had broken and was stuck in the bottle.

    Once. By a 10 month old baby :o
    And then he sort of headbutted my nose which was actually sore. He didn't manage to pull my hair though, I was ready for that. The punch was unexpected. And people say they're harmless, the little beasts :pac:

    Punched, headbutted, kicked etc. I've returned the favour to those who kindly gave me those, with interest :p

    There was this one fella who tried messing with the mrs back in the day, he got floored for doing so... I was quite sauced at the time :o

    Although yonks before that this one time I copped off with this fellas sister, I could see his point though, we shook on it afterwards and left it at that :)

    In this instance this would give you a better chance of having your head kicked in by the other two lads.

    Aye. Best thing to be good at in a street fight with scumbags is the 100m sprint.

    Not worth getting your head kicked in, or worse.

    Yup, few years ago, walking home on my own at like 3am, and some crazy dude shouting at his OH saw me across the road, walking home, not saying anything, just ran over to me and punched me about 4 times full force in the face for no reason, absolute PR!CK!

    Never been hit or even been in a fight, didnt know what to do so ran, and he ran after me! Then he gave up, prob to beat the **** out of his poor girlfriend. Never forget it. Didnt know what to do. Black eyes an all.

    I prob should have rung the cops on him for his girlfriend but was in so much shock I just went home.
