A drunk Australian man went home for a shower to sober up - but got the wrong house.
The woman who lived there was terrified to wake up to the sound of someone having a shower downstairs.
She frantically called the police who arrested her red-faced neighbour, reports Northern Territory News.
"He was very apologetic," Superintendent Daniel Shean told the newspaper.
Supt Shean said the 42-year-old man had been so drunk that he got lost on his way back to his own house in Katherine.
But he thought he had finally found it and went straight into the shower to sober up.
By the time police arrived, the man was dressed and sitting on the 34-year-old woman's verandah.
He reportedly said "sorry" to the police and woman many times after realising his mistake.
The man was taken into protective custody to sleep off his big night.
"The woman was just happy for us to take him away," Supt Shean said. "She thought he was a burglar."
