BTW: I didn't win that one. There were two of them, and one was HUGH!
Hugh Grant? You got beat up by Hugh Grant?? 😉
 
Last one was in 10th grade. Was away at a summer band (trumpet) camp thing and one of my 4 roomates was beina jackass. He thought he was all badass cus he grew up with gangs n stuff like that. So one night he was tryin to provoke me into attacking him and evetually he got close enough and grabbed my arm, I figured he was gonna hit me so I hit him first. Only the 2nd time I've hit anyone in the face, he crumpled to the floor, but he was pretty calm when he finally got up(5 minutes later). My pinky hurt like crazy though.
Last time before that was in jr. high some dumbass who I didnt really like was tryin to make fun of my mom, so I started beatin his ass, he ducked into the fetal position, but I hept wailin away at the back of his head. lol I love bein the smart kid so all I had to do was serve 1 lunch and write about how I wouldnt do that again.
 
Back in college. Was at bar with some friends. Some drunk guy was shooting off his mouth and trying to pick a fight. One of my friends shouted to him to "shut the fsck up" (he was a little toasted also). The guy comes over and gets in my face (thought I said it) and pushing me. He took a swing and missed, so I backed up a step and landed one that cost him the last few of the drinks he had paid for.
 
besides fighting my brother, I got in a bizarre fight probably about 3rd grade with this guy much bigger than me. We kicked each other back and forth and then we just got bored and stopped.

Another time, I was at a hockey game with a youth group and this guy was annoying the hell out of me and he was sitting next to me. I don't remember why or what he did but I got mad enough and punched him once in the face and that was that. We watched the game and never talked about it again. He's still a tool today.

Last almost fight was in summer school after 10th grade. Some guy was messing with me and I think he was even a bit shorter than me. I got fed up and was about to throw down and for some reason I really snapped. I started laughing and the guy took off. My friends were worried about me that day when they saw that.

The best fight I ever saw was when I was going to high school. There was an on-ramp for the expressway and one guy was trying to get on at the last minute and cut another guy off. The other guy honked and cursed. The first guy slammed his brakes and the back guy rear-ended him. The front guy jumped out of his car and dragged the back guy out and they went at it. We were late to school and I was the only one who saw so the driver didn't stop or anything.

Hey I NEVER said I could spell!! 😉
 
8th grade... I slammed a locker closed right next to a friend and turned around to walk away and he pushed me to the ground. I got up and got one punch in on his face and pushed him back into a trash can. He couldn't get out... 😀
 
The funniest one sided fight I ever saw was in downtown Chicago. I was going to lunch with 2 of co-workers and as were crossing the street an obnoxious cabdriver who could'nt make the light had his cab right in the path of crosswalk. Instead of backing up he sat there forcing everyone to walk around. My co-worker cursed at the driver, who jumped out of his cab and ran up to him. Before the cab driver got the first word out of his mouth he got sucker punched, he then got in his cab and meekly backed it up.

We laughed about that one for about a year

(Damn squids...) 😉

Most of my life it seems I was someones punching bag....being small when ever someone wanted to "vent" they would pick on me (figuring I could hurt them much)

I guess I'll blame that, and the resulting brain damage, for my lack of spelling expertice..... 😉

I caught someone attempting to steal my stereo out of my Jeep CJ back in highshool, many many years ago. That's the last time I ever used my fists in anger. It was not a pretty site. Trust me.

Not a pretty site ehh? Got your butt kicked pretty bad?
 
Every time I see my brother clinton, I can't stand that fisker. Usually it's friendly since we're both above 30 but we always arm wrestle at least.

Funny how no one here has ever lost a fight. (i'm not counting the sibling one, because everyone gets beat up by their older siblings)

I've had my share of bruises and black eyes from the martial arts school. Got a concussion from being kicked in the head, too. But that was my fault 100%.
 
Real fight?`In third grade (9 years old) I lost. I don't remember why we fought, but the other guy was an asshole.

Few months ago this guy grabbed me and started pushing me around. No fighting though. I noticed how helpless I was in that situation, so I decided to do something about it. So I enrolled to this place, and started studying this. I will NOT be pushed around again :frown:!

You asked about the last fight, not every fight 🙂
Besides, what's the point of getting into a fight you can't win?
