The only time I’ve ever been slapped in anger was in a bar. I was up at the bar buying drinks for my friend and myself, and some drunk guy up there wanted to buy me a beer. I declined, but he pressed the issue and I accepted. Young/poor/naive/whatever.
I’d been feeling a bit off the whole day, and for whatever reason, that beer (which was only my third of the evening) put me over the edge. I went outside to get some air and ended up puking in the street. Classy, I know. I really didn’t think I would be throwing up, or I would have gone to the restroom. Anyway, after I’d composed myself, I stood up, and that dude was standing there watching me. I said something along the lines of, “I guess I shouldn’t have accepted that drink after all.” He replied, “THAT wasn’t very ladylike,” and slapped me in the face.
I was more shocked than hurt, but before my brain could process that this was likely my one and only chance to be justified in kicking a dude in the nuts, one of the bouncers tackled him. It was NFL worthy. Strange night all around.
I got slapped by my parents all the time. My mouth was constantly getting my ass in trouble.
I don’t recall slapping anyone once I got past the age of about 5 or 6 (as kids we’d do that to each other sometimes), but I did throw my keys at an old boyfriend’s head once. Lucky for him he was (rapidly) on the way out the door and they hit the back of the door right behind his head.
Given, once. I was very drunk (we all were) peer pressured in to climbing up a steep, snowy hill to take a shortcut to a house party. I kept losing my footing and the roots I grabbed on to kept breaking. At the top I slapped my friend whom I felt was responsible for this.
Once, in college. My (male) roommate was on the phone with his GF (one of two, but she didn’t know it. I did.) He was trying to talk her into driving to town and staying overnight, basically being really manipulative. I began to make some comments in the background about his shitty behavior and his other girlfriend.
He took one look at me, said to GF: “Excuse me, I have to go slap someboby.” Put the receiver down, walked over to where I was sitting and slapped me. It burned.
Still hate that guy.
I realize this was several days ago, but just a reminder that this is not appropriate language at the SDMB, not in the Pit, and definitely not in MPSIMS.
