I drove through southern England in a camper van. A car coming the other way at a narrow part of the road stopped and the driver motioned for me to wind my window down. I stopped beside him and did so cause I thought he wanted to ask or tell me something. He punched me in the face and drove off.
To this day I have no idea what that was about, the only explanation I could come up with were my German license plates.

Does getting knocked out by walking into a glass door count? Broke my nose, btw.

The only person I have ever punched and been actually punched by is my brother. I forget what we were yelling at in our apartment but we're twins. We got each other in headlocks and just traded punches to the dome. I'm sure that looked like a cartoon from an outside perspective.

I signed up for it (Muay Thai)

I got jumped out of nowhere by two guys on my way home in the night. It sucked. Couldn't get it out of my mind for the next six months or so.

I like to box, but I'm also not super good at it so multiple times.

I don't think I ever got punched in the face. Haven't even been in a fight.

My brother and I were dancing at his wedding. He was imitating dance-moves that Mac from IASIP does with his elbows and accidentally bow’ed me in the jaw. It hurt but was pretty funny.

Same brother as a teen was showing me his shadow-boxing skills and punched my nose. Again it was funny, but it made me cry lol. Obviously I’m the younger sibling..

Threw a man’s belongings off a train because he was listening to music without headphones.

Worth it.

I got socked trying to break up a 5 man brawl at a steak n shake.

Pulled a guy off another guy and he turned around and punched me in the eye. That was right before someone threw a chair through one of the windows.

Everyone just kinda stopped after that and the dude that punched me apologized.

That was kind of the end of the whole ordeal as everyone just kinda left real quick.

Only if you count the accidental backhanded punch of my ex-wife while I was having a dream where I got attacked and had to punch someone.

I've never been punched in the face, only had my face full force thrust into a vending machine by a teenage bully when I was like 8 or 9 because I wouldn't let him cut in the long line at the pool and use the money I had already started putting in the machine.

Got punched over the counter while working at a liquor store. The dude had been 6 times already that day to get our cheapest/highest ABV Beer and was back for more when suddenly he decided the price was too high. He argued with me (working solo at the time) and things escalated to the point where he pooped me in the nose. I was able to dodge most of the force of it due to the distance and his drunkenness, but he got the tip of my nose with a clumsy naymaker.

After he hit me he suddenly had a realization about what he'd done and he ran away as I threatened to call the cops (an empty threat, I live in America and only call the cops when someone might die because calling the American cops might be the cause of someone's death). Never saw him again.

The kicker is that he'd already paid for his beer when he started the argument and forgot to grab it as he ran.

Yeah. Super drunk dude who got thrown out of a bar decided everyone was on his shitlist. Apparently, he was known to the cops. I was standing outside and dude ran up in punched me. I hadn't said a word to him the whole night. Not sure why he picked me. He appeared to be coked out, so there's that. He was arrested for something else (DV, I think) not long after.

Back when MMA was a new thing I did a class. Made my ears ring lol

I work with aggressive teenagers, so once or twice a year.

Only by the dog, who didn't really mean it.

Many many times. Because I boxed. Nothing more fun than being punched in the face under the right conditions.

If you're counting early 20's as "adult" then yeah, although looking back, I acted nothing like an adult. Adults don't get into fistfights in the tavern parking lot.

When I was 22 y.o. I punched someone from the rival team in a football match until he fell to the floor because he pushed a teammate into a rocky slope after the ball was out of play. I got expelled from the league (and the match obviously). I got kicked and punched but not in the face by the rest of his teammates.

I've taken some practice swords to the face while wearing a plate helmet, if that counts.

I've never really been punched in the face even when I was a kid, unless you count protruding inanimate objects slamming into me. Isn't the head, which contains the skull, a rather unattractive spot to strike one's first move on?

Once, a couple of months ago when a junkie broke into my house.

so many times. abusive gf. boxing lessons. getting jumped by 10 people. fights... etc

No.

I've been able to identify potential incidents before they get out of hand and diffuse them.
