VIDEO: Man desperately chases after ticket lost to the wind

• Cutesy video: Baby hippo is too precious for this ugly world
• We shouldn’t laugh but: Great danes ruthless in bid to go for a walk

If you're having a Monday akin to a sad, lukewarm cup of instant coffee then this might cheer you up.

No, it's not a heart-warming, cutesy video – it's a chance to laugh at someone's misfortune without feeling guilty.

Sometimes it's nice to see someone other than you struggling feebly for a change.

Because someone scrambling after a piece of paper lost to the wind is funny, and the added guilt-free bonus is that no one was seriously maimed as a result of this amusing incident.

So you're free to drink deeply from the goblet of schadenfreude.

While boarding a plane in Beijing Capital International Airport, one passenger's ticket apparently escaped him after being blown out of his hand by a ferocious gust of wind.

And instead of letting it go like an ice queen casting aside her oppressive regal cloak, he went after it.

Thankfully, another passenger had a frim enough grip on their phone to film the whole thing.

The footage obviously went viral in China, clocking up nearly 50,000 views on a Chinese news site and attracting the attention of the always entertaining Shanghaiist.

Old mate tries frantically to get a hold of his ticket once more, desperately running after it like his life depended on it.

We're not sure how this fellow was allowed to run out on to a busy airport tarmac in the middle of a low-visibility dust storm, or why he thought chasing after the ticket was worth the risk but we're glad he did.

Cheers, mate.
