We’ve all had our fair share of uncomfortable car rides, but this zookeeper’s story takes the cake! Our protagonist, an experienced zookeeper of eleven years, was tasked with transporting two cheetahs from another zoo four hours away. Along for the ride were two coworkers, Seth and Megan, who were about to embark on a wild journey they’d never forget. Little did they know, this trip would be filled with drama, smells, and a desperate plea for relief.

A Wild Ride to Remember
In the end, our zookeeper protagonist managed to get the cheetahs and coworkers back to the zoo, but not without some drama. Megan’s desperate plea for a pit stop to clean up the mess was initially denied but eventually granted when even Seth couldn’t handle the smell. Despite the cleanup, the van still reeked, and Megan was left feeling ill and miserable for the remainder of the drive. Now, she’s been a bit standoffish, leaving our zookeeper to wonder if they made the right call. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this wild ride!
