Dead fish mysteriously appears in woman's car and she lives to tell the tale

Lifehack: If you don't leave your house, this won't happen.

Lifehack: If you never leave you'll house, you'll never have to find a dead fish in the passenger cushion of your car.

Some of us still take task the risk regardless of the consequences.

Take very brave Facebook user Zola Cheyenne Hayes, who recently came back to her car from an otherwise pleasant trip to Taco Bell. She lost her debit card and searched through the seats to try and find it. She found a dead fish instead.

I'm not sure if there's anything worse than discovering a desiccated tiny fish sunbathing in the hot car heat. If it's going to be a marine creature, at least let it be something adorable like a baby turtle or a small jellyfish.

Whoever did this prank clearly knew how to get under all of our skins.

Hayes emphasized that she had no idea how the fish got in there, as her car doors were completely locked.

"A FISH. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAF AND I TOUCHED IT AND IT WAS A FISH WHAT THE FUCK," Hayes wrote on Facebook. "PICTURE IS THE FISH. HOW DID THE FISH EVEN GET IN THERE? I HAVE MY DOORS LOCKED. I HAVENT BEEN TO A LAKE SINCE I GOT THIS CAR. HOW THE FUCK DID A FISH GET INTO MY CAR."

We are you keeping you in our thoughts and prayers right now. Don't be afraid to use Clorox wipes on the cushions, regardless of what the haters tell you.
