Not necessarily physical - could be a verbal yelling match.
p.s. I am not talking about some beeotch in high school that talked smack about your hair style behind your back. I am talking about something that has happened once your prefrontal cortex was developed enough for you to know that it is generally frowned upon to yell at strangers.

LOL. This lady cursed me out because she wanted one of our chairs but I told her we were using it (I was holding the seats while FI and my brother got food). She called me an idiot and started yelling at me for taking the chairs. I was like WTFudge? but remained calm since I had DD with me. FI came and told her to sit down and shut up which she did.
Oh helz no! She yelled at you when you had a baby!
Many times. My favorites:
-Yelling at an asswipe who threw a rock at a freshly dead black cat in South Central LA (I'm glad I didnt get shot for that one),
-Yelling at a pervy, high dude who was trying to hit on my BFF (I made him cry),
-And yelling and getting up in the face of some drunk English dude in Oxford England after he swore at me (I scared him so bad he freaking ran away- that is my pride and agro joy).
If confronted I can get scary.
LOL at making some dude cry
I told the sales clerk at the local Zellers that they really needed to check their signage for their sale items after she told me, while at the cash, that the sleepers I had picked up were made of two different materials and they weren't both on sale even though they were both on the same sale rack..(??!!) I told DH I was leaving, and I left. He stayed at the cash while she figured it out..which led to another thing..but yeah
and then last week I was on the phone with Storkcrap..I mean Storkcraft. I was on hold for 20 minutes, so I had it on speaker because one cannot expect their 8 month old to entertain themselves that long, and the ladythat finally picked up was speaking with an accent. I didn't catch what she had said so I asked her to repeat it. She. replied. like. this. So I told her that she had no need to be rude. She said she wasn't, and I said, "uh actually, yeah you were. This is my third issue with this crib, I haven't had it a year yet, and I would like some service.".or something like that.
Dude, Zellers is a mess with their sales. They never take their sale placards down when they should and confuse people.
I got into it pretty good with some guy at home depot. My mom was talking to the store mgr about a price mistake. I was about 20 feet away from her just waiting. Some guy came up to my mom, called her a bi!ch, and threw $20 at her and said she was holding up the line (she wasn't even in the line).
I pretty much was in the guy's face in one second flat. I was enraged & was trying everything to get him to throw the first punch. I think he was in shock because he probably thought my mom was alone. His wife, I think, was pretty nervous too because she was pulling him back.
Not only did I yell at him, I also had some words with the mgr for not steping in. Who stands by and lets a 50+ yr old, 5 foot woman get treated like that. The guy end up apologizing and I told him I would be waiting outside. lol.He probably thought I was going to kill him.
I got into one with a pushy energy sales guy who wouldn't leave my front porch. He kept insisting on seeing my bill, blah blah blah. I told him numerous times I wasn't getting my bill, I had a baby inside, we weren't interested etc. He had the balls to say "you go get your bill, I'll wait here."
Yeah, that didn't go over well. After I told him I wasn't getting my bill for the 5th time, I told him to be on his merry way and shooed him off my porch, complete with not so nice hand gesture.
He was so not impressed that some SAHM wasn't able to be persuaded to hand over her energy bill for his perusal.
