Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a surburb of Sydney.
θɪŋz kæn goʊ rɔŋ ɑn ə bɪg skeɪl, æz ə ˈnʌmbər ʌv ˈpipəl ˈrisəntli dɪˈskʌvərd ɪn Parramatta, ə surburb ʌv ˈsɪdni.
During the rush hour one evening two cars collided and both drivers began to argue.
ˈdʊrɪŋ ðə rʌʃ ˈaʊər wʌn ˈivnɪŋ tu kɑrz kəˈlaɪdɪd ænd boʊθ ˈdraɪvərz bɪˈgæn tu ˈɑrgju.
The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner.
ðə ˈwʊmən ɪˈmidiətli bɪˈhaɪnd ðə tu kɑrz ˈhæpənd tu bi ə ˈlɜrnər.
She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car.
ʃiː ˈsʌdnli gɒt ˈɪntuː ə ˈpænɪk ænd stɒpt hɜː kɑː.
This made the driver following her brake hard.
ðɪs meɪd ðə ˈdraɪvə ˈfɒləʊɪŋ hɜː breɪk hɑːd.
His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake.
hɪz waɪf wɒz ˈsɪtɪŋ bɪˈsaɪd hɪm ˈhəʊldɪŋ ə lɑːʤ keɪk.
As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road.
æz ʃiː wɒz θrəʊn ˈfɔːwəd, ðə keɪk wɛnt raɪt θruː ðə ˈwɪndskriːn ænd ˈlændɪd ɒn ðə rəʊd.
Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, pulled up all of a sudden.
ˈsiːɪŋ ə keɪk ˈflaɪɪŋ θruː ði eə, ə ˈlɒri ˈdraɪvə huː wɒz ˈdrɔːɪŋ ʌp əˈlɒŋˈsaɪd ðə kɑː, pʊld ʌp ɔːl ɒv ə ˈsʌdn.
The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road.
ðə ˈlɒri wɒz ˈləʊdɪd wɪð ˈɛmpti bɪə ˈbɒtlz ænd ˈhʌndrədz ɒv ðɛm slɪd ɒf ðə bæk ɒv ðə ˈviːɪkl ænd ɒn tuː ðə rəʊd.
This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind.
ðɪs lɛd tuː jɛt əˈnʌðər ˈæŋgri ˈɑːgjʊmənt. ˈmiːnˈwaɪl, ðə ˈtræfɪk paɪld ʌp bɪˈhaɪnd.
It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again.
ɪt tʊk ðə pəˈliːs ˈnɪəli ən ˈaʊə tuː gɛt ðə ˈtræfɪk ɒn ðə muːv əˈgɛn.
In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles.
ɪn ðə ˈmiːnˈtaɪm, ðə ˈlɒri ˈdraɪvə hæd tuː swiːp ʌp ˈhʌndrədz ɒv ˈbrəʊkən ˈbɒtlz.
Only two stray dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily devoured what was left of the cake.
ˈəʊnli tuː streɪ dɒgz ˈbɛnɪfɪtɪd frɒm ɔːl ðɪs kənˈfjuːʒən, fɔː ðeɪ ˈgriːdɪli dɪˈvaʊəd wɒt wɒz lɛft ɒv ðə keɪk.
It was just one of those days!
ɪt wɒz ʤʌst wʌn ɒv ðəʊz deɪz!
