Every time that we find ourselves wondering whether today is the day we finally quit social media… something holds us back. Something happens, a story blows up, and suddenly, we remember just why we love the internet so heckin' much. Sometimes, we find ourselves reading a story about how a cow chased someone on Valentine's Day, and we think… okay, we'll leave tomorrow. Sometimes, we're reading a story about a woman who took her sugar glider to a doctor's appointment - unintentionally, inside her bra, and we think… a couple more days. Sometimes, we read about a bunch of criminal cats locking their humans inside a bathroom and think… well, you get the idea.

And today is no different. It's stories like these that make the internet so friggin' awesome. A bull escapes its enclosure and wreaks havoc in the NEC train station for hours, and it becomes one of the funniest viral stories of the year.

Oh, seeing this story blow up in real time was something else. You'd think that the people would be annoyed by the train getting delayed because of something so silly, but nope, they were not. Everyone was so painfully amused by this situation that we did not see any complaints from anyone.

Just imagine… you are on your way to work, and this happens. Imagine the conversation you would have with your boss. "Uhh… sorry, I'm gonna be an hour and half late." "Why?" "There's a cow on the train tracks." No one could get mad at you for being late that day. Not a single human.
