Before our unfortunate flannel-wearing friend was dealt the most devastating knockout punch of his life, this whole encounter couldn’t have started out as more of a textbook drunken argument.

Mr. Tough Guy Right Hook was clearly convinced his soon-to-be victim was trying to act all tough, while Flannel Man had no idea what was going on.

Then came the seemingly harmless “Fuck off.” It wasn’t an “I’m going to fight you” fuck off, but a “hands behind the back, I have no idea what you’re talking about” fuck off. Apparently, Mr. Punches took that a very different way. If we had to guess, his Tinder date blew him off, and he needed to blow off some steam.
