A woman in Australia was just trying to enjoy a normal lunch break when two uninvited guests apparently decided to make a dramatic entrance through her ceiling.
Tiahna, 23, was working from home in Brisbane when she started hearing suspicious noises above her apartment.
At first, it was just another day of ceiling drama.
Then the sounds got louder.
Smartly, Tiahna grabbed her phone and started recording — because after dealing with possums in the roof for years, she figured nobody would believe what happened next.
Seconds later, the ceiling gave way and possums came crashing into the room.
Talk about dropping in unannounced.
“I whipped out my phone when I heard the noises because I thought no one was going to believe me if they fell through,” she explained.
“And they did.”

Tiahna said she and her roommates have been dealing with possums in the ceiling for around two years, including constant scratching and movement at all hours of the night.
But until now, the furry squatters had at least respected the ceiling.
Apparently, that arrangement is over.
She believes two possums may have been fighting in the roof space before the dispute escalated into what can only be described as a full-contact home invasion.
The section of ceiling had previously been damaged during a cyclone, which may have made it easier for the animals to move in.
The hole has since been covered with a board while Tiahna waits for permanent repairs and another attempt to remove the possums.
Her video of the incident quickly went viral, pulling in more than 1.7 million views after she posted it online.
The timing may be hilarious now, but possums living inside Australian homes are a genuine issue.
Research examining thousands of wildlife rescues found brushtail and ringtail possums were among the most common native animals found inside human-made spaces, including roofs, walls, garages and underneath homes.
For Tiahna, though, the science probably matters less than one important lesson:
Never underestimate what might happen during a work-from-home lunch break.
At least things have reportedly calmed down for now.
Whether the possums got the memo is another question.
