I can see the resemblance to Stephen Graham, must be the dazed and confused look from the black eye that made me think of Karl!

On a night out I saw a guy (ex marine) that I worked with pinning his girlfriend forcefully against a door outside a bar. It was very aggressive in nature.

I waltzed over and said something along the lines of "Think you're the f*cking big man treating your Mrs like that. Try and do that to a bloke".

He smacked me in the face.

In hindsight, I am not sure what possible other outcome there could've been.

You should have punched his girlfriend in the face and said "Job done!" - would have totally confused him and you could have walked away.

Well at least you took the focus away from her. Not a bad job really.

The punch didn't put me down either and I told him for an ex marine he punches like a pussy.

We worked in a large open plan office and when someone asked how my weekend was on the following Monday I took great pleasure in regaling the story loudly with the guy sat about 15 feet away.

Never been punched but I once stood on a rather large rake in the pitch black and it shot up and smashed me in my nose/eye socket. Hurt like a mother trucker. Was in the cellar at the time and had to stumble back up the stairs before I passed out.

One heck of a shiner, and of course people laughed, one (friend) tt bought me a new rake with bubble wrap around the handle for my birthday the following week.

More times than I can properly recollect these days if I'm honest... Highlights include:

Broken nose (reset myself the next day)

Fractured cheek/eye socket, plus a few broken chipped teeth.

Freshly pierced (that day) Helix stud ripped out. Re-pierced in the same place the next day hehe Not a good idea...

Last time was bit of a multi opponent fracas that resulted in a (from the side) bottle/brass knuckles/something to the forehead and big hole and quite a few stitches, plus a fractured, dislocated right thumb with a UCL rupture and surgery to put it back together... And a very sore jaw/head/face for a couple of weeks after.

Plus numerous other bumps, lump and bruises over the years.

Many years ago, on the way home from college evening classes, had to walk around a group outside a wine bar. For some reason, one of the crowd took exception, and swung an (unseen) punch to the side of my head. Stun me a bit. Still shaking my head, I then heard an almighty crash. Turned out that was the sound of a plate glass window my Judo friend had thrown the guy through. Apparently it was a bit messy, and it took him some while to recover.

Was in a pub, (there's a theme on this thread) drinking diamond white (I was a little under age) and there was a right mouthy so and so on the next table. Having had rather a lot of cider I thought I'd explain what a mouthy so and so he was.

He waltzed over and punched me right on the lip...

Lesson learned...

I posted about it on PH a year or two ago when it happened - some idiots decided it'd be fun to be racist and pop a few punches as they outnumbered me 6 or 7 to 1. In all honesty, the two guys that hit me a few times didn't really punch hard. My eyes welled up and I got a nosebleed, but I vaguely remember trying to focus on a street light to stop myself from going foetal. They fked off after a few seconds and I was just left with a minor nosebleed and wet eyes. The damage was more psychological than physical. There's a small mark on my nose since the attack but my body tends to scar quite easily so I'm not too fussed.

Yes, a few times, and each time the puncher has either been a total wimp or hadn't known how to properly punch, so happily no damage done.

If one of 'em HAD known how to punch, I suspect I'd have been in a pickle because that incident was a sucker punch that I didn't see coming.
