A woman’s party was disrupted Saturday after Baboons infiltrated her home and joined in the festivities.
Esethu Zoe Williams was having a birthday party in a house she rented in Knysna, South Africa, New York Post reported. The party animals then apparently sauntered into the house before eating an avocado breakfast and drinking Hennessy, party host Williams tweeted.
Baboons just came inside our house, ate our avodacos we were making for breakfast and drank our Hennessy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

One baboon popped a bag of chips onto the floor while apparently trying to bite it open, a video of the incident showed. The animal then grabbed a second pack before repeating the same tactic to try and open the bag. “I’m traumatized,” Williams wrote to Twitter.

The partygoers managed to remove the uninvited guests by “screaming and charging towards [them],” Williams said, according to the New York Post. One baboon made his exit by drinking nearly an entire glass of cognac and almost walking away with the glass, according to Williams.

After the baboons left, Williams and her friends were able to return to their brunch celebration, she said in an update.
One user likened Williams’ encounter to her own, commenting on a time a group of monkeys ransacked her meal and “literally left us with no breakfast,” in Zimbali, South Africa.
