Spider Story

[Damp Squarie]

I was out under the clothes line last night in the dark and walked straight into an unsuspecting spider web...{sHiVeReD} and began wiping face like Curly Joe of the Three Stooges...

Which prompted this post...

Hopped on the pushy to go to work back last year after not riding for quite awhile.

I got around the corner approx 200 metres away when down my forehead come these HUGE hairy spider legs {out of my helmet} and across my eyebrows

pANiC

Hell it woke me up and damn near ruined my future as I momentarily steered the bike with my "cathedrals" on the crossbar as I stopped and ripped off the helmet to see this big hairy harmless son of a b!tch scurry away.

Anybody got a spider story...

A couple of years ago I went for a bike ride. Before i left, I filled my drink bottle up at the outside tap. Along the way I stopped for a couple of drinks, but it wasn't until I got home and emptied the bottle out that I noticed a HUGE huntsman spider in the bottom I don't know if it came from the tap or if it was already in the bottom....but eeeeek, I don't want to experience that again. What if I had swallowed it?

At a guess you'd only need vegies on your plate at tea time.

Never really had any incidents with spiders, not particularly scared of them either. The worst thing was probably when I was about 3-4, and sitting in the front seat of our van while dad was driving. A huge spider flew out of the air vent and landed on me then fell in my shoe. I remember crying a lot.

Never really had a problem with spiders. I tend to catch the ones inside & release the alive outside. Chopping wood a few years back I came across redback spiders. Didn't really like them much, so they got the back of the axe!

But what did freak me out was this spider I accidently imported from Bali. I bought some handcrafted decorated wooden flowers, which came in a bamboo holder. When I went to unpacked at home, this spider with very long legs lept out & bounced down the hall way (bit like a Kangaroo) at a very quick pace. All the females in the house ran outside screeming. I went straight for the can of mortein & proceeded to spray half a can worth on this spider to make sure it was dead (from a distance). I then sprayed the bamboo holder & soaked it for about a week. An experience I will never forget!

I get them in my car, so that they reappear on the window or windscreen just as i'm driving through the darkest bit of the drive... making it impossible to work out whether they're on the inside or outside. The number of times i've swerved all over the road or almost driven up a tree because of one of these HUGE f*ckers has made its appearance is scary. They're usually about 15cm in diameter

But the worst spider story was the time one jumped (i didn't know they could jump? ) on me in the shower from the roof. I've never moved so fast in my life....or screamed as loud, lol...


So yeah.... I hate Spiders!


*Darky.... try to let this one go will ya?

I hate spiders....im arachnophobic. Even if its one of them little money spiders ill have my eye on it the whole time on in the room just so it doesnt move...and if it does i know where its going.

I have plenty of yucky spider stories but ill just say my latest one.

Disgracefully hungover and bongovered...i was lying on the mattress in my mates lounge in the morning feeling like crap and not wanting to move thru fear of throwing up.
Staring straight up at the ceiling i saw a little black flicker in the corner of my eye......i turn my haid to see a fairly large black spider making its way across the edge of the ceiling......it got inline with my face then started to make its way out from the edge and towards me.
"what a bastard" i thought...this thing is gonna make me move and throw up. When it got fiarly close to almost right above my head i chose to move and quickly got up on the couch.....then the spider began to slowly and carefully drop down from the ceiling to the floor.
big deal you may ask?? Well it dropped dead set right where my nose was...if i had not of moved the spider would of landed on my face, something id have nightmares about for months.
It was almost like those machines with the soft toys and you have to try and grab the toys with the grabber thing but it never works.
The spider deadset went level with my face....made its way out from the ceiling so it was inline with my face....then dropped.
Lucky i moved!!!!!

I'm sure Wilson could of prevented this happening if he was there!
Same happened to me except a friend of mine filled her bottle with cordial and was drinking it on the way to the beach in the car. I asked her for a sip but I looked at her like what are you doing?? It was FULL of ants! Yuk!

i am absolutely terrified of spiders, although not teh armless ones like daddy-long-legs or ones behind cages or on TV or anything like that, but one night i was being driven home from a friends place and across the dash board o fteh car a HUGE spider was crawling. it went onto te screen and even on the wheel where the driver was completely calm, i was in hysterics!
eventually i got him to pull over and get the spider out the window, buti kept checking to see if nay of his friends were still there!

Hmmm spiders I hate them. Big ones, small ones even bloody plastic ones! The last scary encounter I had with one was a week ago when I found a horrible, ugly, big black one under my doona.
Scared me so much I refused to sleep in the bed all night and went out and slept on the couch!
I hate them.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Plastic Spiders are good for a laugh though.
Ive about a 30mm diameter one thats brown with green luminuos legs.
My daughter and I used to get great joy in strategically placing it around the house just to frighten thebejesus out of each other
Good fun for a heart starter.

My my was backing out the driveway when she saw a spider on the winsheild. She jumped straight out of the car, while it was still moving. Quite funny really.

about 8 years ago when i was riding through the bush to a mates place i rode straight through a spider web without even noticing the spider,it landed right on my face,big huntsman i think it was from memory
i jumped off my bike and just wiped my face quickly about a million times,even for a while after getting it off. just hate the feeling of a web on my skin

 

[mantis]

EEEWW too many to mention, hate them totally, the only way a spider looks good is on the bottom of a thong ( that is the shoe variety Darky).

I will relay a story a friend of mine told me, one morning her Mum woke up & couldn't see out of one eye, she got up & looked in the mirror & there was a gigantic huntsman totally covering one of her eyes.
