What would someone have to do to you to make you punch them in the face?

[mwmorph]

Put a hand down my fiancee's pants. Happened once. We were both drunk at a party and I woke up with a bloody nose while he woke up with a broken one.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Insult or grab at my wife. Or self defense.

 

[narcotic]

I would usually be the one trying to avoid a physical confrontation, I'm not huge but I'm decent size 6'@200lbs, and if I'll seriously punch someone's face it'll probably cause some damage, since I don't really want to get arrested/sued/etc. I will try to avoid it as much as possible.
I got spit to my face, thrown rocks at, and a bunch of other treats which I managed to contain myself through.

If anyone ever tries anything funny on my family, namely child and/or wife, it'll end up differently. Just this weekend as I dropped off my wife and son downtown , I got picked on by a homeless which I just roled up the window and ignored, but as I was getting ready to leave, I saw in the rear view mirror he was going for my wife & kid, I was out of the car in a second and I started running towards him with a big roar, he took off right away and saved me the experience, I was definitely ready to take him down.

it would take something pretty serious now. Did it a bunch in my younger days if someone looked at me wrong (had anger issues). Being arrested really opens your eyes

 

[dainthomas]

Look at me funny.
Touch my monitor.
Make the voices angry.

Insulting my family/SO would do it. They can insult me all day and I wouldn't care.

i probably wouldn't punch someone in the face as a reaction

i'd be more likely to eye jab or groin kick

followed by a series of close quarters elbows knees and headbutts

and only in self defense (unless someone dicks with my family)

Something that qualifies my punch as self defense.

ditto. it takes a ton to make me toss a fist, ive been told i have infinite patience. but if i had to defend myself or a loved one, id punch the pope (if he were the one accosting my family).

Edit: I've only punched two people in the face. One being a kid who picked on me the entire fifth grade for not having money and I got sick of it. I elbowed him in the stomach, after which point he fell to the ground and I proceeded to punch him square in his stupid face. He's nice to me now when he sees me.

The second time was at a sleepover when a friend picked on my mother for being deaf, I hit her pretty good.

Please tell us you are a woman....

Haha. Yes.

Hurray for civil public discourse? Ah, so much is wrong with this picture.

I'm not into hitting anybody but I will say if you were attempting to physically hurt someone in my family all bets are off.

Id punch the pope just to say I punched the pope.

1. Self-defense.
2. Defense of family and friends (especially my wife and kids).

BTW, if you break into my house, and I get the upper hand, you are a dead person. And I do not mean like kinda dead. We are talking beating-your-head-until-your-brains-spill-out-onto-the-floor, slit-your-throat-from-ear-to-ear-and-pull-out-your-tongue, stomp-on-your-rib-cage-until-I-am-stomping-on-the-inside-of-your-back, THEN-getting-a-bat-and-beating-the-rest-of-you-into-an-unrecognizable-pulp, you-are-not-having-an-open-casket-funeral dead.

I would give you the kind of beating that even Jason could not recover from.

I can tell you what it took for my 12 year old son today.....vmail left for me at work from the principal mid morning that my presence was requested as my son was involved in an "altercation"....after swim class apparently their was some towel snapping in the locker room by another student (who is the twice held back bigger than the rest of the kids equivalent to Christmas Story's Scut Farkas character, but, I digress)

My typically reserved son (Tae Kwan Do black belt) who as far as I know has never laid hands on anyone in anger told the turd to stop. turd snaps him again, son told him he wasn't going to ask again, turd snaps him on the thigh again (large welt still present at this moment)......my son leg swept him and applied a strike to the nose as the turd was falling

Now, apparently there was much rejoicing among the rank and file as Farkas went down. The principal didn't seem to mind much either as the discussion was pretty high level and a one day in school suspension is the punishment (entire day spent in homeroom studying). I punished him with Baskin Robbins and the all glory is fleeting speech.

I really don't know, and I don't really like thinking about such things, partly because I'd likely be in for an ass-kicking - sluggish physical response time, no coordination, and no fighting instincts. You'd see less carnage after throwing Mother Theresa into a mosh pit. I've never even been close to being in a fight. I only ever even saw one fight starting in all my time at school. I saw the first punch being thrown, and I knew a crowd would form shortly, so I turned around and found another route to get to where I was heading.

Right, it'd probably just involve, oh I don't know, steel nails, and many many thousands of volts. :light:
