I once nearly broke my mom's hand. Yeah, me is idiot, but being honest. It's just conditioned.

yup, thats exactly what i'd do, but of course it depends on the circumstances....are they approaching from the front, or from behind you? how to they react to your first reaction? where is this taking place?
one of my teachers always said that it's best to react first...and you learn very quickly how to apologize!
but the proper reaction doesn't necessarily mean kickin ass without using some judgment first. similar things have happened to me, but i've only ever had to apologize for being defensive at first -- i've never tagged anyone who was innocently trying to get my attention...
what also comes to mind is the difference in environment! i'll use this as an example -- i come from a small town in PA, and now i live in washington dc.
when i'm back home and talk to people from the city (for example NY or DC), they say that they actually feel *safer* in the city!
because in the city, ppl don't roll up to you and start a random conversation, touch you, ask for a cigarette or directions, talk to you or even make eye contact without a definite purpose, which isn't always good. especially for example at night when the bars are letting out
coz in the city, you basically just keep your head up, and look straight ahead as if you'd kill the next person who makes eye contact with you, and that's what *everybody* is doing so we all get along fine! hehehehehe
so if i'm in southeast dc or even florida ave nw and someone comes up and lays a hand on my shoulder, i'll immediately rip their arm off and beat them with it
but if i'm back home, the environment is different and i won't be so quick to beat 'em down right away...there's less of a chance that they're up to no good but i'll still protect myself at first.
