People Reveal The Reason Why They Actually Punched Someone In The Face, Accidental Or Not

They SO deserved it.

Make us preferred on Google

Some people go their whole lives without punching anyone in the face. There's a strange satisfaction in the act, especially if the person deserves it. For example, if they were your high school bully and you uppercut them at the 10 year reunion to prove how much you've grown. There are those other times, though, when the person doesn't deserve it, but it still makes a good story.


Reddit user, u/shakesula9, wanted to know about the best face punching times when they asked:

Why did you punch that person in the face

My fiends dad (who is like 6'5, solid 250 ish) knocked a guy out with one slap to the face in the store one time. The guy slapped his wife in the face. He walked over all pissed if and said did you just slap that woman? The dude said "mind your business old man". So my friends dad slapped him back and knocked him out cold

When They Don't Know The Meaning Of "No"

Giphy

Ex-boyfriend tried to break into my parents house in the middle of the night. He probably would have been successful had he not been so loud.

It ended up being a tag team effort by my brother and I to get him to leave and several blows were exchanged.

Weird bonding experience between us and we never spoke of it again. My parents never found out either.

3rd Grade Memories Lasts Forever

Giphy

Because someone threw a ball that I was trying to catch, and I did not see the girl standing there next to me, and definitely didn't mean for my rapidly thrust-out hand to hit her in the side of the face - I was going for the ball, but caught nothing but cheek.

This was in gym class in the 3rd grade, and I got teased mercilessly for popping a girl in the face and making her cry.

Don't Mess With Mom

Giphy

Gotta share my mom's story. A 28 year old junkie kept hitting on my sister and started showing up around the property. My mom warned him to leave her daughter alone and never come back. Few days later mom's boyfriend is driving with mom as the passenger, they roll up on the property and this dude is there trying to get through the gate. Mom is insta-pissed and jumps out of the moving vehicle to punch him in the face. He finally got the hint and we never saw him again and this is still my favorite story about my mom.

The Couple Who Fights Together...

Giphy

Because he made a very rude gesture with his hips towards my then girlfriend. I called him a loser and kept walking. He followed me out to my car and swung at me. I punched him in the face. He was my size 5'10". Unfortunately, his two 6'4" Baby Huey friends (they were brothers) jumped in. I didn't care. I saw my girlfriend (now my wife) on one of their backs just clawing the crap out of him. And that's when I knew I'd marry that girl.

Classroom Brawlers

Giphy

A guy (lets call him Josh) in my grade was a self-important bully. His mom was a gym teacher (middle school) and dad was a chemistry teacher (high school), so I guess he just go away with crap.

I made friends with an autistic guy in our grade (lets call him Mark); he was far along enough on the spectrum that he was mostly in SpEd classes, but had some general ed classes like gym. One day in gym, the teacher was held up in the boys locker room. Josh was bullying Mark and was about to throw him into the trash can with his buddies. I saw red. To this day I lose all respect for someone going after someone with a mental disability like that. Anyway, I went up to Josh, pimp slapped him in front of the class (I'm a girl, much smaller than him) and absolutely railed on him for bullying a awesome guy who happened to have special needs.

My teacher walked in during my b-tch fest. I never got into official trouble for slapping Josh given the circumstance. I did pay for what I did though. His dad made my life a living hell in Chemistry and I ended up failing. Ironically, I went on to get a BS in Bio-Chemistry later in life.

Rihanna Applauded For Powerful Response To Cancer Patient Who Apologized For Looking 'Terrible' Without Wig

Rihanna’s latest viral moment has nothing to do with music, fashion, or beauty launches. Instead, fans say the singer helped someone shine bright “like a diamond” after reassuring a cancer patient who apologized for not wearing a wig during an unexpected meeting.

The nine-time Grammy winner, 38, made a fan’s day during a recent trip to a supermarket, where she posed for a photo and offered words of encouragement after learning the woman was living with cancer and feeling self-conscious about her appearance. The interaction appeared in Jason Lee’s video series, Jason Lee Unlocked: Grocery Shopping with Rihanna, released on Monday, July 6.

Reporter Puts NATO Secretary General On The Spot With Brutal 'Self-Respect' Question About Trump

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte found himself on the spot after Danish reporter Rasmus Svaneborg questioned whether sitting silently beside President Donald Trump as he discusses "conquering" Greenland and criticizing allies has impacted his "self-respect."

Rutte, a former Dutch prime minister, has been forced to manage Trump's repeated criticism of NATO while contending with his public insistence that the United States should acquire Greenland from Denmark.
