Centipede crashes mookata dinner
There’re many scary-looking animals that we would prefer not to encounter, let alone party with.
On the other hand, it seems to us that some of these creatures want to befriend humans. Some of them even try doing everyday activities that people do, like visiting the bank or fixing a car engine.
Here’s the story of a group of Thai friends who hosted a Mookata dinner, and quickly scattered when a centipede joined the party.

Teenagers host Mookata party on Christmas
On 25th December 2021, a group of Thai teenagers were hosting a mookata – or “grilled pork” – party to celebrate Christmas at one of their houses.
While they were enjoying the grilled pork, one of them felt something strange crawling under her leg.

She stood up to check what it was, causing the others to also glance over.

Instead being welcomed to join the grilled-pork circle, the centipede instead caused everyone to move away from the table quickly.

However, it seemed that the creepy-crawly also trembled with fear – just like humans did – as he crawled quickly away of the scene, leaving everyone silent and terrified.
Netizens react to party crashing centipede
After the clip was posted on TikTok, it managed to gain over 181.3K likes along with tonnes of comments. Here’s what some of them said.

Translation: Crowd scattered = the centipede must be 500% handsome. So much so that the girls made a noise.
One netizen hilariously shared the creepy animal must so good-looking that all the women screamed.

Translation: The centipede says, “Why you guys are so scared? I just wanna join your grilled pork party.”
Another netizen spoke for the creepy-crawly and suggested that he might’ve just wanted to try grilled pork.

Translation: The uninvited guest LOL
One TikToker even dubbed the animal as “the uninvited guest”.
Organise the party on a table instead
We’re pretty sure that those teenagers whose party was crashed by a centipede have learned an important lesson and will find ways to prevent future occurrences.
One good way to avoid a visit from uninvited crawling guests is to organise the party on a table instead.
But, if the creature they’re avoiding is able to climb up table legs, they may need to consider booking one seat for him.
