They’re scary as shit when you happen across one in the dark and it hisses at you with its pointy teeth and glowing eyes.
I left my car parked in a lot at work overnight, and in the morning it wouldn’t start. A possum had climbed up under the hood and chewed clean through a bundle of wires that apparently was most of the electrical system. It was so stupid that it wouldn’t leave even when I poked it with a stick. That car never ran again.
What exactly do people have against possums? I’ve never seen one.
