I used to start fights in questionable establishments because I could. I carry a cluster of cigarette burns on my left shoulder from one of the ones I lost.
I've never had a knife pulled on me, but I've seen it happen.
I openly admit that I am an aggressive driver and have occasionally gotten into bad positions because of it. There was only one that would've been declared my fault had it resulted in an accident, but it happened to be the one that probably would've killed both myself and my girlfriend of the time next to me had it occurred. Needles to say I've gotten a lot more cautious since.
And then an incident that involves an emergency procedure and near-death on my part, but that was caused by my Crohn's Disease and I'd rather not recount the full story.
