Man live-tweets efforts to get a raccoon out of his home and there's a hilariously wild twist ending
He took the Twitterverse through a nerve-wracking journey right from being alerted of the animal's presence to efforts to humanely escort the visitor out of the house.
A Twitter user named Drew Olanoff had the internet entranced for a few hours a couple of months ago when he live-tweeted a "raccoon" situation in his attic. In a series of tweets, Olanoff took the Twitterverse through a nerve-wracking journey, right from being alerted of the animal's presence to getting wind of his uninvited guest's supposed liking for king snow crabs to efforts to humanely escort the visitor out of the house. "Actual thing our electrician just said: you have a raccoon nested in your attic. Did you guys eat king snow crabs, because he has a bunch of them up there. (we did not have any snow crabs)," begins the raccoon saga.
Here's how it all went down:
1. The calm before the storm
apparently it has been there for a really long time because it has, in our electricians words, "a nice fuckin' setup"

it also hissed at him.
2. What is it with all the snow crabs?
"it's got a lot of them snow crabs, they're stickin up in the air"

11. The mystery of the snow crabs—and the "raccoon"
12. Moral of the story
moral of the story: see something, say something. when you live outside of a city, there are critters who will invade your space. please do your best to find a humane solution.

And there you have it. That's one way to be welcomed to the suburbs.
