I got slapped across the face once, for sassing my Mom, when I was a kid. Don’t even remember what I said. I know it wasn’t slap worthy, but Mom was having a bad day. I never forgot it though. And I knew then, if I had a child I’d never, ever treat it that way.
I have never delivered a slap across the face to anyone though.
Pretty sure I’ve gotten smacked across the face multiple instances from talking back to mom and/or dad. Not the way I’d treat my kid, but not something that bugged me at the time, either.
Sure, my pop did it to me a few times. I got my revenge by fucking his wife (kidding) – but he did slap me on the face a few times. When my parents die I’m going to take great joy in liquidating their assets. Punched in the face a few times by other people, but not a slap.
Oh, wait, there was this chick I was with and, walking a long block to my place, she thought it would be fun if I spit in her face and she slapped me. I guess that’s a funny game, but we kept it up for quite a while before we decided it was stupid. It was a game – and we kept it up almost step-for-step. I don’t know why we decided that would be fun, but the lady was the boss, so good for her.
I once slapped a girl I worked with at some fast food restaurant, right there behind the counter during lunch rush. Darned if I can remember why, though. I was 14, so probably something to do with a boy.
My mother only hit me one time in my entire life. I remember it vividly. I was 16 years old, and I mouthed off to my grandpa (mom’s dad). Mom had one hell of a backhand!
Not slapped, but my 7th grade ethics teacher once smacked me on the side of the head with a tin can. It hurt. (This was in Korea, obviously, where such things are legal.)
I was slapped by my mother once, in my teenish years. She was not as wrong to do it as I would have told you she was then. (I’m not sure it was the best/right choice, but I understand it better now)
I slapped a boy in a play–he went on to recieve a Paper Plate Award for enjoying having his face slapped, when he ended up being the victim of a face slap in a subsequent show.
I was “slapped” a couple of times by the professor of a class on Shakespeare my senior year in college. It was odd, because I don’t recall him slapping anyone else, but somehow I ended up standing in for both Desdemona and Lady Macbeth. It was probably my fondness for sitting front and center that did it.
I have been slapped once by my younger sister when she was in the beginning stages of heroin withdrawals. Probably lucky that’s all she did. She was mad I wouldn’t give her money and/or take her to her dealer’s house.
I slapped another girl when I was 17 or so for belittling a friend and keeping it up until the friend was in tears. Yes, it shut her up and I was the heroine of the evening.
When I was 16 I broke up with an asshole of a boyfriend and ended it with a slap. I took off the necklace he had given me, said “this is yours… and so is this!” followed by the most beautiful, dramatic movie worthly slap across the face I’ve ever seen. Then I high tailed it to my car, cause he was a big dude.
A year later I was trying to help get my mom’s wheelchair out the back door down a wood plank being used as a ramp when the wheels got stuck. I told her I wouldn’t be able to move it with her in it, and I needed her to try and get up. She insisted that if I would just try harder I could do it. After about twenty minutes of me struggling, she pushed me away, stood up, grabbed my hair to pull me closer, slapped me, and then threw a hammer after me when I sprinted away.
I got slapped in the high school lunch room, by a male friend of mine. It’s so far in the past that I can’t remember the deets, but the little I remember was that I was standing behind him talking to him and some other friends, and was teasing him about something. He was in a bad mood, and I poked him on the shoulder and he stood up and swung.
My dad once slapped me for very justified reasons.
I slapped another student in junior high, right after the class(in front of the teacher) as he was heckling me throughout the class. Everyone watched the incident, he didn’t expect it and was stunned. No more heckling after that.
Slapped by an ex-girlfriend, for reasons I don’t remember. I did have enough presence of mind to say “Not sure I deserved that” in my best Jack Sparrow voice, though, so no worries there.
[Edit: I also was slapped repeatedly in a high school play , because the actress opposite me could never make a stage slap believable. The sacrifices I make for my art.]
