I only spit once in someones face, like 30 years ago at work. Dude says to meet me in a conf-room, he has a beef w/ me.
He was italian, but I called him "Chico". He did not like that. He gets real mouthy, pointing in my face yelling, chest bumping. His buddy is watching the door for him in case employees come by.
So I lagged right in his face. He tries to come at me, I punched him once in the jaw, Grabbed him in a head (neck) lock to quiet him down and calm him down. (He was bigger than me, but such a weak puss).
He calmed right down, couldnt move his neck for about a week, and never bothered me again. I didnt want to lay punches into the guy, as he was so pathetic.
(Plus risk of firing, I was smarter than that). It was degrading, but so is some tool knowing he is safe at work, yelling with his finger in my face. (1st and last time I did that).
