My cat sits in strange places when she's not feeling well. Birds and squirrels that are about to die will often sit in public spaces seemingly unperturbed by humans because they're not actually fully conscious.

Dunno if you saw, Reddit thinks the rug cleaning one was faked: https://www.reddit.com/r/specializedtools/comments/7v839e/steam_cleaning_a_rug/ The wheels don't quiiiiite line up with the cleaned line, and you can see the pre-cleaned area through the joints of vacuum early on.<br /><br />Of course, finding that lead me down a rabbit hole of how high-quality rugs actually get cleaned.
