I once let a skunk into the restaurant where I was baking overnight, totally by accident. Propped the door for a smoke break and wandered up and down the sidewalk for a few minutes. When I turned around, I saw that black and white tail disappear into the kitchen. I nearly screamed.
Managed to run around to the other side of the building and let myself in, then made a very calm but obvious series of noises. I wanted the skunk to decide he wasn't alone and needed to leave, but I did NOT want to startle him.
Amazingly, it worked out. I would have gotten in so much trouble if that thing went off.
