Showing Original Post only (View all)OMFG - a HUGE spider just dropped off of the ceiling onto my desk! [View all]
Right in front of my face. AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!
I deal with lots of stuff, but spiders threatening to get ON ME freak me the fuck out!
First thing I did was to roll my chair back, jump up and run out of the room. Then I found a weapon - the extendable net that I bought to skim crud off my pond but that serves duty in the house to direct birds out of the house.
I had to hunt for the spider - it'd dropped down under the desk and was cowering at the back corner.
Then I beat that fucking spider TO DEATH! I'm leaving it's dead body on the floor so I can check to make sure it is STILL DEAD.
I was only awake because I needed some water. Now I am pumped with adrenaline and feel crawly as if there were little spiders all over me. GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I may not be able to get back to sleep- EVER.
Too bad I pulverized it - I went to look it up and it could be a brown recluse spider. Now I will never know - not that I would have EVER examined close enough to be sure. They say the way to be sure is to count the eyes. Oh HELL NO!
Excuse me while I jitter for a few hours....
