Anything can happen to a reporter who is live at the scene—including being interrupted by an onlooker wanting their five-seconds of fame.
Or in this case, getting showered by an irrigation sprinkler from afar.
Global News New Brunswick's Shelley Steeves—that's Canada, not New Jersey—was reporting from a field to discuss how proper irrigation results in thriving crops and was oblivious of the sprinkler that was making its way toward her from behind.
Consequently, she got a surprise and the internet got a giggle.
Global News posted a brief clip on their Facebook page as a reminder that "reporters should always be aware of their surroundings."
Note taken.
You can watch the 11-second video here.
People on social media were amused by Steeves' hilarious response to the impromptu shower.

Others wondered why the cameraman didn't give a colleague a heads up.

Not everyone would have reacted the same way...

...although they should note Steeves' coat and the fact this took place in New Brunswick, Canada with cold water.
