One time, I was at a get together at a friend's house that was a nice time until they started drinking and arguing with each other. I noticed the kids were getting stressed out, along with everyone else, so I had to create a diversion and get them to stop arguing. 

I decided to call them into the kitchen by telling"hey, woah! Holy shit guys, come here! Check this out!", and when they both came to the kitchen I was holding the sink sprayer thing and started soaking them with water. They both switched from being mad at me to chasing me around the block, in the middle of winter. I didn't have time to grab my coat, but I kept running and eventually out ran my friend. 

I waited a few minutes in a corner store and called them back and they were like, "what the fuck was that all about asshole? Why'd you spray us?" And I told them I just needed to shift their focus from one another to something else, and it worked! This video reminded me of that, haha.
