Chaotic Possum Who Trashed Woman's Office Has Become an Unapologetic Hero
Among one of the more important developments in dramatic animal incidents bringing a devilish attitude to the internet this week, there’s this possum who pulled off a next-level break-in.
It got in, like many criminal masterminds, through the roof. From there, this possum messed up the office of an unsuspecting woman by the name of Bree Blakeman in Australia. Blakeman, a research fellow at the National University in Canberra showed up to work after the weekend to find maps and paintings stripped off the walls and lying everywhere. Even tiles from the ceiling came down.
“Walked into my office and thought someone must have broken in because it looks trashed… and then I saw this little sweetie covering behind my computer,” Blakeman tweeted.

The pair of photos were liked nearly 304,000 times since the original posting.
And it did not leave the scene, because evidently there was nothing to feel guilty bout. It just sat right there on the fellow’s desk behind her computer. Who knows where this possum will go or what it will do next.
Despite the fact that the mischief maker really did some damage, Blakeman stayed positive about it all and even cared for the possum.
But eventually, it exited the office, its appetite for mischief evidently satisfied. People were hilariously rapt as they engaged with the pictures of their possum hero story.
And now, the possum has become something of a hero for being anti-work.
Update: three lovey people came to assess the situation. They are going to come back with a little possum box and some fresh fruit and then we must all wait until it decides to go into the box. Possibly 24hrs. Not even mad. 😆

Looks like Possum will be spending another night in my office. It showed no interest in alternate accommodation provided (+ fresh fruit). The wildlife people will check again in the morning. pic.twitter.com/alyyXZ5Wf5

World exclusive possum update lol: as of 3:50pm today (Tues Jan 21) the discombobulated possum is still occupying my office. They are going to check the box trap again in the morning.
