Darian Herbert got quite the shock when she answered the door for her food delivery and a squirrel launched itself into her house.

Nothing could prepare the homeowner, nor the pizza delivery guy for that matter, for the chaos that ensued during a routine food delivery in Louisiana.

Homeowner Rodney Herbert's Nest camera footage showed a squirrel clinging onto the interior archway of the entrance as the delivery guy approached and rang the doorbell.


As the door opened, chaos ensued.

You can watch the hilarious TikTok clip shared by ABC News via Storyful, here.

Chaotic footage captured by a Nest camera shows an opportunistic squirrel launched itself into a home in Louisiana when the front door was opened to receive a food delivery. đŸżïžđŸ•đŸ€Ł #abc7la #news #abc7eyewitness #animalsoftiktok #squirrel #squirrelsoftiktok #animals #lousiana

When Herbert's wife Darian–who was off-camera–opened the door to receive the warm food order, the critter suddenly launched itself like a caped superhero through the open door.

Darian could be heard screaming bloody murder after the airborne woodland creature granted itself access.

The oblivious delivery guy–who had his back facing the stealthy critter the whole time and likely missed the lightning-speed action–looked on in confusion after initially being startled by her screech.

The camera continued capturing him with his hand stuck in the food order retrieval position and wondering how to proceed. Eventually, he pulled the food order out from the insulated delivery pouch when the screaming stopped.

Herbert was heard asking where the little intruder was so he could grab it and Darian–still in distress mode–yelled back:

"I don't f'kn know!"

An amused Herbert laughed over the pre-dinner mayhem and reported back to the delivery guy:

"Thank you. Squirrel got in I guess."

After realizing what all the fuss was about and clearly not having seen the flying squirrel make its landing, he replied, gobsmacked, "Oh my God!" and staggered off in shock.

TikTokers chuckled and and wondered how the delivery guy missed all the action.

Darian apparently had her eye on the squirrel prior to the incident.

According to ABC 7, she told Storyful she saw the squirrel outside her home when she went out to the store.

She said she "immediately went back inside," because she knew "it was going to jump" if she walked down the pathway.

Darian changed her exit strategy by using the backdoor to leave and re-enter to bring the groceries in.

"I just had a feeling," she said, suspecting the squirrel was just waiting for the right opportunity to gain entry.

"Well, Rodney ordered pizza, and I saw the pizza guy at the door," Darian said, adding that seeing the delivery guy "standing there with no problem" assured her it would be fine to go forth with the delivery transaction.

Well, we all know how that turned out.

Darien recalled:

"I ran to our dining room and stood on a chair and yelled at Rodney to come get it."

Eventually, he managed to boot the unwelcome guest and restored peace inside the home.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les MisĂ©rables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.
