Baboons: A woman got more than she bargained for when unexpected guests crashed her birthday getaway party.
Williams and her friends were enjoying their day when baboons broke into her rental home in Knysna, South Africa. They began helping themselves to her brunch spread and hard liquor.
Victim Esethu Zoe Williams wrote on Twitter about the incident with footage included.
Baboons just came inside our house, ate our avodacos we were making for breakfast and drank our Hennessy ??????????

“I’m traumatized.” She wrote in a follow-up Tweet that racked up over 84,000 likes.
The post showed the baboons jumping from counter to counter and opening bags of chips while Williams and her friends cowered in fear.
Another clip shows one of the primates guzzling brandy from glasses left outside on the patio.
Apparently, the animals got into Williams’ home because she forgot to shut the door after entering. That’s where the baboons entered and ate the food in their kitchen.
Although the group initially feared the baboons, they eventually managed to scare them off by screaming and charging toward them.
Once they left, her friends were able to continue with their party. Williams posted a follow-up tweet showing her monkey-free seaside home along with the caption, “Restored.”
Followers reacted to Williams’ tale with a combination of amusement and sympathy.
People are trying to make the situation light by joking about the incident. At least no one got hurt and even the animals left with full stomachs.
