It's one thing to find a snake in your house, and another to find it after sitting on top of it for almost two months.

A woman from Michigan thought it was a good idea to bring home a couch found on the street with the sign reading “Free” on it. The woman claims to have cleaned and properly groomed it, but how can you not see a huge snake lurking inside it while cleaning it?

After having the piece of furniture in the house for almost two months, the more dead than alive snake came out crawling from the couch. The woman didn't run, instead she poked the snake with a hanger and started recording the finding.

The snake barely reacted and then died, before she even got the chance to alert authorities and have the reptile taken to a special facility. After giving the snake a proper burial the woman decided to get rid of the couch and threw it away.
