It just kept escalating. I was like stop guy, please!

Belongs on a "don't laugh" challenge.

Not true, but the actual story is just as good. Also anyone who has 2+ domestic cats knows this all too well.

God I hate how people on social media take cool stories and just steal them with a "quick, catchier" reason thrown behind them.

It's crazy how often I see something on Reddit and the top comment gives a completely different explanation. People repost to get karma so they change the headline without the knowledge to do it accurately, or they just plain lie.

I can see the allure of doing it as that DTM woodworks twitter guy two posts up got 150k views for making up a different scenario for the video. But it's just so annoying when cool stories/videos come across your feed and you know there's a better than good chance it's faked/manipulated.
