'Snakes on a T-Mobile Cell Tower' is the IRL horror movie nobody wanted

Warning: snakes can climb.

Here's something you don't want to see while working on a cell tower 125 ft. in the air: a big bundle of snakes just chillin' on top of all the tower equipment.

Well, that's just what happened to one unlucky T-Mobile engineer.

According to CNET, a T-Mobile field engineer climbed up the 38-meter pole to discover this giant mess. The engineer snapped a photo, like we all would do before probably falling to our deaths out of pure horror. T-Mobile later tweeted the photo with a request for its followers to come up with some movie titles based on this shitshow. They did not disappoint.

T-Mobile has confirmed that the photo is real, but hasn't shared any further details about the reptile pile. If you're wondering why your service has been shoddy lately, it's probably because of snakes.

Ugh. Snakes, stop being weird and just stay on the ground. There's nothing worse than a snake in a place where it's not supposed to be, especially 125 ft. in the air.
