yes, a great many times. Once I was approached by the owner of a bar as I walked in, and was instructed in no uncertain terms that I was not to get into any fights that night. He spent 15 minutes trying to make me understand how very much he didn't want me to bash anyone's head in. Here is the funny part. I had yet to even order a drink, and the guy I was wingman for was a state-champ wrestler and could bench over 300lbs. it is amazing that I was the one the bar owner was worried about.

I believe there is a saying from somewhere stating "No matter what you do...do NOT (mess) with the guy in the kilt!"
