Got mugged on the way home from work once a couple of years ago. I was working as a barman at the time, and I had a lot of late (i.e. early-AM) finishes. The normal bus route I'd take back to my house was diverted and so I got off a little way away, and it was either go the long way around and get home later (but, in hindsight, safer) or take a shorter way that I'd taken before anyway which involved going through some not-so-safe places.
Needless to say, it didn't end well for me. I wasn't a big fan of just handing my stuff over, so things got a little unpleasant aaaaand I don't think either party was feeling particularly, uh, great afterwards. Funnily enough though they didn't take much - my best guess is that they'd not done this sorta thing before and didn't want to take anything too "serious". They definitely weren't very intimidating so for all I know I could've been their first "victim". Fortunately though all they seemed to really be interested in was money and some other, uh, stuff I had in my wallet (lol.) and I was feeling fine after a couple of days. Plus, fighting back made for a badass story, so there's always that.
Plenty of other stuff's happened too, but nothing that I care to go too much into.
