Have you ever been punched or had drinks thrown at or spat at or hit or slapped for making a comment to them?
Fortunately I have never had this happen. Maybe because I am lucky I have not ran into those people or because I am shy so I don't say much to people unless I know them well enough or get comfortable with them. Then I was shocked to learn some people actually punch others when they get insulted or something so that is why people are jerks online because you can't punch them for things they say. To me that is just them being cowards because they can't say it in real life due to the worst consequences so they do it behind the screen where they can't get punched or have drinks thrown at them, etc.
Then I read another thread here in the parents board that her aspie son said to a boy "hey acne face" and she heard from that boy if her son were his age, he'd deck him. I assume "deck" is a term for punch. So it made me wonder how many of us have been decked or had drinks thrown at us or food, etc. for comments we'd make. If this has happened to you, did you learn anything from it like you shouldn't say that to people or tell them about something because it can make them mad?
I've never had that happen but I don't go around insulting people or trying to start fights either. That boys mom should probably explain to him it's not ok to insult people or call them names...I don't blame the kid who said he'd hit him if they were the same age I wouldn't have liked getting called acne face either.
