Ever since Pizza Rat came on the scene in the subway of New York City, people have had a fascination with animals doing human things. Namely eating. While it's funny to see a cat slouched over like Al Bundy, there's something about a critter chomping on a very human treat that just seems to tickle our collective fancy.
Twitter user @heatherchristle reminded us of these simple pleasures when she shared the tale of being woken up by a mouse attempting to dig into a Lindt truffle.
The experience at the inn may sound perplexing to some people, but the tale seems to have charmed a relatively large portion of the internet - including people who saw fit to share their own stories of similar situations.
Unfortunately this mouse's ending was less than happy.
These stories are a reminder of life's simplest (and cutest) pleasures, as well as a reminder that at the end of the day, we all just want to eat something that tastes good.
