When you work in the hospitality business, you learn very quickly that anything can happen. Hotel employees encounter people from all over the world, and no two workdays are ever the same.

According to Daily Post World, staff at a Gatlinburg, Tennessee hotel called 911 after hearing strange sounds coming from inside one of the bathrooms. Sure that a guest had locked themselves inside, an officer tried to get them out.

Police heard noises from inside the bathroom, but when they opened the door, a black bear greeted them. Yes, the black bear did get itself locked in the bathroom, but it’s not quite clear what they were doing in there in the first place.

The police officer on the scene didn’t want an explanation and ran like heck when the animal came out of the door. A video of the incident went viral on Instagram, and people couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“First time I see a police are running for their life,” someone wrote.

Others couldn’t help but joke about a black bear in a bathroom.

“Does a bear s— in the woods? No they actually use public toilets these days,” a comment reads.

“He was trying out the charmin toilet paper,” another person suggested.

The black bear really was pretty darn polite as they opened the bathroom door.

“The bear open the door! Like checking who’s knocking,” someone noticed.

We’re not sure where the bear is now, but we have a feeling it won’t be back to powder its nose anytime soon. Just no privacy these days!
