Things that make you go "Oh Sh*t!"

Had a birthday party at the house last night, son turned 22.

I was inside playing Singstar when someone ran in and said the neighbour down the back was trying to climb over the fence with a carving knife in his hand.

So, went down the back yard to chat. He was seriously pissed off (it was around 3am), a kid who has an intellectual disability who came with his father, my ex wife's new boyfriend (he's 17 and no he wasn't drinking) had got wound up by a couple of the others who had been drinking and pegged a couple of empty stubbies onto the roof of this blokes house.

The rails on the fence are on my side and the bloke has some of that stck cladding on his side so he was having a bugger of a time trying to climb over, and that was quite a big carving knife.

Spoke to him from about 2 metres away, apologised and calmed him down, yelled at the peanut gallery up on the deck to STFU.

talk about a twat though. Threatening to bring his bikie mates around etc, trying to climb over with a carving knife, WTF was he planning on doing with that? A few of the boys who were there would have torn him apart if he actually made it over. He had every right to be angry, which is why I apologised and didn't argue with a couple of his more outlandish threats and comments but geez.

I told him if he had a problem and wanted to talk, he obviously knows where I live, come around to the front door and I'm happy to have a chat. I'm still waiting.

Calmed him down, made sure the music was off, had a chat to the kid who'd thrown the bottles (with his dad standing nearby) and told him I hope he'd learned from this not to let people egg him on - evryone makes mistakes, he'd just made one, learn from it and don't do it again. Poor kid just nodded, I think he was shitting himself, but I kept my voice quiet and calm and his dad had no comment, except a couple of nods when I was speaking.

The doofuses who egged him on came up to me individually and apologised, so all was good. Music's off, people are settling down. Cool. Have a smoke and a drink and chillax.

"Stui, the Police are in the front yard"

Oh shit.

Walked out the front with a glass of red in my hand, said to the constable, "G'day mate, what's up?"

Noise complaint. Music was already off, no big deal, Asked for name and date of birth, provide that, constable writes it down in his notebook, "Too easy" he says, after getting an assurance the music was staying off.

"You're bleeding" says the female cop. "Huh" says me? She points to my foot, I obviously got some scratches from the garden when I was down the back talking to knife boy. "Meh, it's only blood" says I , the male cop laughs, they leave.

Got to bed about 4. Got up at 10, expecting a bomb site. Oh Shit. The Captain pulled her finger out, got the remaining bodies to help and cleaned everything up before they went to bed. I got up to a clean house.

Oh Shit
