The computer warned with an error message, something Patrik Bergström interpreted as a problem with the printer. But it turned out to be a snake stuck in the printer.
– I just screamed, says Patrik Bergström in Efter fem.
When Johan was going to print some invoices in the home office, the printer suddenly started to mess up and error messages appeared. Patrik Bergström thought it was just an ordinary paper jam. He began to examine the printer and instead of a classic piece of paper, Patrik was met by a 50 centimeter long hazel snake, something Aftonbladet previously told about.
In Efter fem, Patrik tells that he stuck his hand into the printer to get the paper out but was instead met by a snaking snake’s tail, something he describes as a complete shock.
– I just screamed, says Patrik Bergström in Efter fem and says that his girlfriend thought it was an earthworm he was shouting at.
Probably got in through an open window
To get the snake out, Patrik put on his MC gloves and took out a pair of barbecue tongs as he first thought it was a viper they were dealing with. He unplugged the printer and took it out on the patio to try and get the snake out of it, but it was firmly stuck.
The story also makes presenter Tilde de Paula shudder.
– This is the whole reason why I asked scripta-Linnea to print for me, says Tilde de Paula.
How the snake got in is not entirely clear, but most likely it was an open gap in a window in the bedroom that is the culprit in the drama. The printer has now taken up space in the wardrobe.
