rugener92 tells us more.
Hi guys, OP here... Didn't really expect this to get published, just a casual 'I could tell this story' thought. Basically I was remembering childhood stories and this is one of them (as so people asked how old my sister was) This was about 10 years ago now, my sister was 7 and I was 11. Recognising it was my dad was never the issue as he was wearing a hoodie! and it wasn't a crowbar, it was basically a pole with a hook on it, we use it to open the hatch for the loft/attic as no one can reach it (me and my dad are 6ft so it's pretty high up' My dads reaction was something along the lines of 'Oh 'ello son, what are you doing with that pole?' - nearly splatting your head, dad, you sneaky dick! and about other burglary and death exclamations my neighbourhood was lovely when I was young, but recently has gone way downhill and has suddenly become the attack, drunk and drug capital street of the town so would be more likely to get ACTUALLY robbed now. I've been bottled twice by the same person at the same event two years running next to my house when there were police there and as the police can't control this gang of about 40 they leave it... anyway! Hope this answered some burning questions and I intend to remember some more stories like this soon!

Unless they look under the doormat, right?
Look on the bright site OP, at least it wasn't a burglar!
And just think, if you'd had a firearm in the house this would have been one of those news stories which point out how much we need gun control
They don't need news stories of burglaries when they have false flag attacks.
I don't know why 16 is getting voted down, if there was a gun in op's hand this story could've gone a completely different way. In fact even with the crowbar it sounds like it could have gone a very different way. Sounds like the dad turned around just in time.
That's why you always check before you swing.
hitting someone from behind is never a good idea, especially if they're unarmed, even in your house
Well what would you suggest he do instead? Tap him on the back and challenge him to a duel? I'm pretty sure you should have the right to defend yourself if some random person comes into your home.
where I am, if you hit an un armed person, you can go to jail, especially with a weapon, not saying I agree, but that's our stupid law here
that is a stupid law.
I know, you can fight them, but if you use excessive force, you face being the one getting in more trouble than the person breaking in, if someone breaks in and my dog attacks them, I can get in trouble, isn't it the same over in America? I'm in Australia, but I've heard stories of intruders injuring themselves breaking into houses and then winning court cases against the homeowner
That's adorable. :D
Yeah, their dad almost ended up with his skull caved in. A-*******-dorable.
At least you are reliable, OP!
did you hit him hopefully not OP
there might be one FML from your dad too..saying today my daughter thought I was the burgler and try to hit me with crowbar FML...
OP is a boy.

Thats actually kinda funny and cute lol
I'm curious as to how old your younger sister is. It can greatly change how much of an FML this story is
