I've been in a few. Most could have been avoided but I wasn't interested in avoiding them in my younger days. Some turned out in my favor while a couple didn't. Overall in every one of them I achieved what I wanted though. Sometimes the goal was to relieve some stress from other areas of my life while others were to shut idiots up who were bothering others.
The last one I was in was at a hill climb in PA. The hill climb was over and me, my girlfriend, and another couple were walking back to my car. There were two bullies picking on everyone that walked by. I saw them harrass some guy walking by with his kid and it bugged me. Then they decided to pick on me calling me names and crap. That didn't bother me and I would have kept on going home but then they decided to comment about my girlfriend. I don't really remember what they said but I went over and got in the loudest one's face. Told him he was an ass and his buddy sucker punched me from the side. It knocked me down and he got on top of me. As we tumbled on the ground I got in quite a few good shots which left him bleeding. I finally kicked him off me and was ready to really start in on him when the cops showed up. We each went our separate ways (me with a hell of a shiner and him with blood coming from his mouth and nose). In the end though, my goal was achieved. It shut them both up and forced them to stop harrassing the people leaving the event.
Ahh well, youth will do that to you. Live and learn.
