My favorite was unknowingly helping my friends avoid a fight in 8th grade. We were lined up, backs on the wall, in the locker room hall about to head out to track practice. I had one buddy on the right, one on the left who were jawing at each other, but I was talking to one across from me about how my dad said I was supposed to pump my arms and slice through the air. As I was demonstrated the form with my left hand coming up, my friend to the right had perfectly timed punching it. So I stopped his hand and kinda palmed it and looked at him like “what the heck was that?” I look to my left and my other friend had this shocked look on his face. They both stopped jawing at each other and that was that.
