Go in there, beat the crap out of the people fighting my dad, take the stepladder, replace the bulb, and suggest to my dad that a meeting room/office is not the place to hold everyday tools
Other Response: Go on the Escapist and solicit anonymous opinions instead of making my own decision.
I hit other and I would proceed as follows:
Knock on the door. Once they acknowledge my presence and allow me in, I'd grab the ladder with a "Just gotta grab this, gents". Fix the light, then set the ladder next to the door to the room and go back to watching TV until business is concluded.

I would grab a gun or a knife and help my dad, of course. No sense in letting my father be murdered while I sit downstairs in the dark.
Or, if you prefer me to pick something in the parameters of being a little cocksuck, I suppose I choose the one titled "Try to find something else to climb on. There's a bunch of useless, sturdy junk in there."
EDIT: Actually, define "somewhat violent." Do you mean I hear struggling or threats? Violence typically means physical confrontation, so I need to be certain that this is what you mean before I go grab a glock.

My mom dated a drug dealer for a few years, I've learned that a light bulb is not worth taking whatever hearing what they're doing will give me.
And it's a light bulb. I'm 6'2", if it's so high that I can't reach it with a chair then I'm assuming two things. One: We came into enough money to afford this somehow so it probably involves something illegal because there's not a chance in hell my mother (it's the parent I live with) was able to make that kind of money doing hair. Two: I'm not going to care enough about the light bulb to try and find a way to get up to it. I'll just stay on my ass and watch TV, it's not like I'm lacking light with the television on.

In that case, prepare for the worst and expect the best. I wouldn't barge up there for just that, but if it continued, I would have to prepare myself as best as I could. My father and I actually have an agreement: "If shit goes down, I'll come for you. If shit goes down, you'll come for me." Anyway, I would do the second thing I stated, then.Gh0st1y_H said:

I would go into the meeting and try to calm everyone down. I know it would most likely end badly but rage really does no one good. I also like being the voice of reason.

Dude, even if the stepladder was right next to me, I'd probably say "screw it, I'll do it in the morning."
