When is it okay to punch someone in the face

[Andy]

So, at what point would violence be appropriate in your mind?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

never.  but any insult is worth humoring myself with the thought of slugging them in the face.

As I am explaining that not only is this something I don't want to talk about, it turns into an argument I should have walked away from but I grabbed the bait like a chump and I am accused of a) "I've probably had more sex than you" and b) "this makes me more experienced, where you, having had less sex, would not"

You do know that the value of your existence can be measured by things other than bedpost notches, right? I have found that the best method of dealing with folks who make their present or past promiscuity into some sort of "achievement" and want to compare scorecards with you, is to completely and totally take an asexual stance (whether or not that is the case) and refuse to divulge any information at all about what you do or don't do between the sheets.

It's also kind of fun to sing the chorus of "Glory Days" by Springsteen over your coworker telling you 20 year old hookup stories for the fifth time this month.

If you hit the guy, it's your ass no matter what happens. So you need to settle on the classy response- the open-handed slap.

If you happen to have a glass of something, then even better- you throw the drink in his face. Nothing that man can say or do will get him out of that. Plus, it's nice and legal.

Rules for that-
1: No hot drink. Burns=lawsuit.
2: Nothing bottled. Trying to shake out a bottle of anything is embarrassing and will just kind of splash around, getting yourself wet as well. Plus, you've made the hand-job gesture. Now you're in deeper.

My ladyfriend and I have a pre-arranged rule: no fighting ever. The only loophole is if someone calls her the C-Word. Then if I do not fight him, I am a coward and will face an even more severe beating later.

That's my word.

yes yes, i understand this KTB.  im convinced im more upset at the audacity of someone saying something so insanely irrelevant in the form of an insult.  nonetheless, ive queued "Glory Days" for my next confrontation.

Spoony, we had a rule as well: "don't stop me from fighting just bail me out of jail"...works for some, not for many.  best advice. 

[Regular Joe]

My advice is to punch out every single person who annoys you, everywhere you go, work being no exception. Eventually word will get out about what a badass you are and nobody will ever give you lip again.

If someone tries to call the cops while you are beating them up, rip the phone out of their hands and beat them with that. If the cops still show up anyhow, beat up the cops.

PROBLEMS SOLVED!

[iAmBaronVonTito]

sold.

Do you secretly kind of have the hots for him?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

OK, Iam, I think I found someone who's had less sex than you! So cheer up!

yeah, well a dirtbike accident when I was 13 pretty much assured that.

at least I still have my dignity, and a demo of acoustic guitar/ spoken word "Shame Poems" I composed.

[Nicksy]

I got punched in the face outside of a bar for a rockin' air guitar solo that wouldn't stop for anyone. Instead of punching back, I just soloed harder.
