Hasn't everyone? I honestly can't count how many times. Fortunately it hasn't happened since I turned around 30, so it's been a while. Lesson? Each one was a little different, but the overall lesson was to avoid physical confrontations because I am a terrible fighter.

Since you were 30, really? You've been doing it for quite a while then. It's happened to me, especially in my youth when you lack control and reasoning.

I'm really old now. I don't remember exactly. It might have been my mid to late 20s.

I understand you now, sometimes when you're young you can't control yourself

I haven’t. I hear older folks talk about their youth like it was the Wild West, getting in fights on a daily basis. Perhaps I live a sheltered life, but I’ve never had this experience

Count your blessings. It's no fun. Schoolyard fights were common when I was a kid. As a young adult the scenario was always one of my friends getting into an argument in a bar, and everyone jumping in. I was the innocent bystander.

I once had someone (a countryboy) tell me he was surprised when he went to university and finally attended a party that did not end in a brawl. People raised outside of the city are made of different stuff, I guess.

He is millennial.

Yes. College parties were peaceful in my day too. I do remember one time, though, when a commuter friend invited his neighborhood buddies to a party at our college, and all hell broke loose.

Perhaps this is it. I’ve never been one to go to a bar, I can probably count the times I’ve been on my hands, and many of them are for work events

Definitely. Alcohol was always involved.

Not everyone grew up with big Italian lugs.

I did, though, so I also have been punched in the face.

I wasn't going to say that, but it's true. Thinking about it, though, it was usually my Irish friends who opened their mouths and got me pounded.

My NY area family is actually Irish-Italian, so we have all the belligerence anyone could ask for.
