no, she stepped between two people talking (that were standing in front of the women's bathroom) saying excuse me and everything..

It depends on the situation, and now that I have a family to deal with I have to temper my couragous ideals with the real concern about being in a wheelchair due to some moron giving me brain damage.
I'd say the real problem here was thinking about fighting a stranger for a verbal insult. There are 6 billion people on the planet, so why would one person's judgment about your gf make you want to get into a potentially very serious medical situation?
What I can say with certainty is this: if a friend was talking crap and he got jumped and was losing, I'd let him take it. He deserves it. He may be my friend, but he deserves it. I'll personally put loyalty of a friend behind the justice of him getting a beating he deserves. The best course of action, of course, is to not hang out with people who invite combat with strangers.

This is regardless of situation... I edited the post to reflect that

Some people walking along the sidewalk were throwing stuff at our car and yelling obscenities. The car was still rolling when the passengers poured out. No physical confrontation needed, just large intimidating friends.

You like the guys with the big balls eh?
There you go. I've done that exact thing. Was at a football game, and a friend (intoxicated) tried to start a fight with about 4 other guys. I waved at them, sort of got them laughing, threw him over my shoulder and walked away....with him still talking crap to them over my shoulder the whole time.Originally posted by: Hyperblaze
if my friend got into a fight for honorable reasons then yes I would.
if my friend got into a fight due to being a complete moron, then I'd try to apologize on his behalf and get him away from there

But in a different situation, a friend was being harassed by a guy he'd had a problem with before. The guy had a buddy with him this time, and both were getting in my friend's face.
I saw what was happening, ran over, stood by his side, and they backed down.
If they hadn't, someone's ass would've been kicked. Might've been ours, might've been theirs, but I wouldn't have left my friend fight alone against 2 guys.
As far as a friend fighting someone 1 on 1, I'd pretty much let that run its course, unless my friend started losing badly, then I'd stop it.

No because I know for a fact my buddy could take 2 guys with ease. I would just sit back and watch the guys get beaten senseless

Theoretical situation.. You are with your friend and he gets into a fight w/ two other guys (him against two others) would you step in and help him out, or stay out of it and call the cops? (assume you are a rather small person..)
My bestfriend basically said he wouldn't. I almost got into a fight the other day, (some punk and his friend called my g/f a b!tch.. )and my friend was like dude... don't do that.. cause I'm not going to step in, I might get hurt. he's sort of small). I was like wth dude, I wouldn't even think this would be an issue.
WTF. I was under the assumption that this is just something you do.. your friend gets into a fight.. you back him up. am I wrong?
EDIT:
he wouldn't get involved REGARDLESS of situation.
