A carb-loving raccoon broke into a woman's home and ate all of her bread

Respect.

One raccoon in Toronto took the phrase "never back down" a little too seriously, after it broke into someone's home and ate all of her bread while staring at the resident.

After loud noises roused wedding planner Jenny Serwylo from her sleep on Tuesday, she walked into her kitchen to find three raccoons had broken into her kitchen, according to the Star.

While Serwylo was able to scare two raccoons away with a broom, one raccoon refused to budge, and seemed completely unfazed by Serwylo's presence as he sat defiantly behind her toaster oven munching on an English muffin. It's hard to not respect this raccoon's moxie.

Serwylo shared a video of her stubborn raccoon intruder in an Instagram story, in addition to posting a photo of the fuzzy little bandit.

“He was like, ‘I’m eating here, get out of here,’” she told the Star.

Serwylo tried to get a wildlife removal company to help her evict the raccoon, but had no luck. Instead ,she waited about thirty minutes for the raccoon to leave her home, in which time he polished off every last piece of bread he could find.

“I was growling at him and hissing at him, trying to scare him out, but he wasn’t having any of it,” Serwylo said.

But even after the raccoon left, Serwylo said she heard them clawing outside her door for hours.

Despite the startling experience, Serwylo said she found her raccoon encounter "hilarious." And based on her most recent Instagram stories it looks like she's restocking her bread and taking a few extra precautions to keep uninvited visitors out of her home.
