I'm surprised you guys haven't been in fights. Maybe it's a generational thing.
My generation was not internet and texting, it was in person, in your face. If someone said the wrong thing or pushed, you pushed back. I have been hit in the head with an ax handle, hit guys who didn't hit back and just collapsed and gotten the shit kicked out of me more than once. Some of the more vivid memories...
In college, a guy hit on my GF. I grabbed his throat and put him up against a wall. He was a wuss. Never looked at her again.
In HS, a guy was making smart comments about me in front of a group. I punched him in the nose and he went down against a locker. A teacher turned the corner at the other end of the hall and everyone scattered. I picked the guy up and we both told the teacher everything was OK.
A "friend" of mine went behind my back and started dating my ex fiance after we broke up. I slapped him hard a couple of times but he wouldn't fight.
I had the headlock fight in front of probably 25 people. That's the worst I was ever getting hit. Even the ax handle didn't hurt that much. That time, I got hit, went to my knees and the guy moved on to someone else.
I had a rivalry with this guy who was a black belt in judo. First time I ever met him was at a drive in where he threw shit out the window of his 4X4 onto my Camaro. We never liked each other. I ran my car into his one time. He started dating one of our group girls. I had the opportunity to sleep with her and did. He did not like that and tracked me down. Hit me in the solar plexus which stopped that fight immediately. I could not breathe. My buddies separated us. Years later, I read in the Economist that he was walking into White Hen with a gun in his wasteband that went off and shot him in the dick. Never found out the results. He had talked about pulling off crimes so I still wonder if he was going in there to rob the place.
I had several bar fights where one of my buddies was usually the antagonist. Had my glasses broken one time when a guy blindsided me. Hit guys and got hit in a couple other fights until the bouncers showed up. Got pissed at my buddy after the glasses incident and hit him in the parking lot for starting the shit. He was a wrestler and tackled me and we rolled around trading blows. I also hit him through a car window one time when he was being an ass. Felt bad and took him into Burger King to wash his face.
When we were teens, we were arguing and he threw a glass of water in my face. I chased him up the stairs of his parents' house. Caught him half way up and slammed his head into the metal stair edge. His parents were at the kitchen table at the top of the stairs. We have been through so much shit together that we will be best friends forever.
That was the result of many of the fights. You hit a guy, he hits you and you buy him a drink.
Gotta be generational because I don't see that much now-a-days. We rarely used weapons and I never had a gun.
