Why cause fights?

I really don't understand it...

 

Went out for my mates birthday tonight, and another one of my mates decided to jump out in front of a car. The passenger in the car (clearly drunk as well) decided to get out the car to him. So trying to be the guy in the middle, I pushed my mates away and tried to calm down the guy in the car....

 

Long story short, I ended up taking 3 punches to the face. I decided to let the dude that came out the car away with punching me, because to be fair it was my mate that caused it.

 

So anyways, after 3 punches the dude obviously realised I wasn't budging and letting him get to my mate, so they gpt back in the car and drove off.

 

I just don't get why you would start a fight for no reason, and to put the icing on the cake my mate said he didnt remember me taking the hit for him...

 

 

/RANT

 

 

Apoligies in advance. Just not amused about it. (ps. yes im drunk as well lol):D

Your mate is a prat. It's typical of needless escalation of an avoidable incident, caused by your friend. If you want to point fingers or give someone a slap do it to him.

 

Stop the trigger point from occuring in the first point and the rest of us will live a lot easier.

You sound like a good bloke and it's just you mate is a tool. I once had a similar ish situation with my idiot mate and 3 nutty blokes.

 

I quickly realised my future wasn't looking rosie when my mate opened his stupid gob.I said to the 3 thugs staring at us "Excuse my learned friend, but he doesn't know what he's saying...so go easy on him"

 

Then I walked off.

Little did they know what you are capable of.

 

Why didn't you open a can of wing chun...on your friend?!?

 

:D

Being brave sometimes could cause more harm, your lucky these guys did not have punch power unless you have a rock jaw. Next time let your mate deserve the punishment :).

 

Getting a few dings when you know you don't deserve it is always going to be painful and upsetting Jazz - regardless of 'punch power'! :rolleyes:

Jazz has a point though. If the passenger was good at punching (most people aren't, me included, and especially drunk people), he could have put the OP on his back, unless the OP is good at taking punches (again, not something most people have much practice at). :)

 

I think we're all agreed that the OP's friend is an idiot. The question shouldn't be, "Why cause fights?" but "Why drink so much that you can't keep yourself out of serious trouble?" A lot of young men drink heavily to prove to their mates that they're the archetypal "Bad Man", but it's not cool to be run over because you're too sozzled to help yourself.

I'm 'brave' like that too. :)

I've had a few situations where my mates have bitten off more than they can chew. They generally learn the hard way when I step asside and let the offended party at them for a few swings though :D

 

My advice is to get out the way, let your mate get a slap then pull the guy off. The guy will feel a bit better for getting a swing at your mate, he'll get a lesson (hopefully) and you won't end up with the chance of going to A&E.

:yeahthat:

 

However good a friend is, if they start a fight and it's all their fault, I'm not going to get hurt to save them. If things get out of hand and someone's going to get seriously hurt then I'll jump in and (try to) stop it.

 

They need to learn.

This clearly doesn't happen to you then.

 

Believe me mate, you are incredibly naive if you think the type of person that does these things does them only once. The mates that I am talking about are notorious for it. The reason they get themselves into trouble in the first place is because they think I will get them out of it. As soon as we are all out together they, one in particular, struts around like the cock of the walk because they are out with myself and my other mate (both pretty big). In the past we have bailed him out simply by going over and talking to people, they often calm down when they realise they are dealing with 2 6'5 18 stone guys rather than the 10 stone mate of ours. We got fed up of them getting into trouble and running to us expecting us to deal with it so eventually we just left him to it. He soon stopped it in our company, although my guess is he still acts like an idiot when out with other people. When he did get a slap we simply explained that it was either that guy that was going to hit him, or us that was going to.

 

Don't get me wrong, I would never let any of my friends get a pasting if I could help it. As soon as enough is enough I'll try to stop the fight, if I end up involved then at that point I will stand by my friend but when someone deserves a slap they deserve a slap regardless of whether they are your friend or not.

 

Thankfully most of those days are behind me as I'm getting on a bit :D

 

Oh.... to the op... tell your mate not to jump in front of my car again :p

Actually, I am fairly good at taking punches (not that thats something to be proud of lol). From being an "easy target" when i was a bit younger, and taking many slams to the face/body through biking I guess I've sort of got used to taking a few hits now and then.

 

Oh.... to the op... tell your mate not to jump in front of my car again :p

 

Jeez, sorry bud! I'll let him know. ps. I never realised you were a short blonde female? ;)

 

If he'd jumped in front of a Supra I'd have knocked him out myself :D

 

 

All good in the end I guess. Bit of a sore nose but no real harm done. Haven't spoke to my mate yet. Wondering if he actually remembers it :p
