  • Spider attack.

    My car has been in for repairs recently and the garage loaned me an old BMW to ride round in. I picked my son (34) up frow work the other day and because Danny my Jack Russel was sat in the front (he likes to control the windows and radio) Will my son hopped in the back. Driving along I heard a terrified howling and screaming similar to that a 12 year old girl might make. Now my son is a pretty tough dude so I reckoned there must be something pretty awful going on back there. I pulled over and turned round to see him manicaly brushing of thousand of tiny spiders, the rear headlining was just one huge grey stain of spiders and more were pouring from the vents on the parcel shelf. He came and sat in the front.(wimp)
    On opening the boot I found several bags of garden rubbish that the previous borrower had kindly left and spiders pouring forth. They must have hatched out in the heat.

    eeew!

    We seem to suddenly have lots of those very thin daddy long leg looking spiders around at the moment!
    ( just as well with all the flies we're getting inside the house at the moment..yuk!)

    Hope your son hasn't got a phobia of them now????

          *shudder*

          Just seen this. Has your son managed to sleep through a full night since that nightmare episode?

            Think I would have died on the spot too - and definitely would have been abandoning the car and never going near it again!

              I've always been pretty fearless when it comes to our arachnid friends ... All my work colleagues are women terrified of the 8 legged blighters, so I'm always called on to bodily remove any offensive dudes from the workplace (standard glass/cup/paper trap) and to safely deposit them far, far away outside!
              A car load of them crawling over my head though, don't think I'd be over happy about that!!!

                  I like spiders, the webs are beautiful and catch dirty flies

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                      Omg! That's the stuff of nightmares my OH is enormous but turns into a big girl when faced with any kind of arachnid! I've seen him standing on a kitchen chair and calling my (then) 5 year old son to come and get them! Hahaha
                      You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...


                      I'm an official nutter - an official 'cropper' of a nutter! I am sooooo pleased to be a cropper! Hurrah!

                        So funny, i do not mind anything really, but i do not like to touch them over here as some can leave a nasty bite.
                        I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

                          I love spiders, don't have a problem with them.

                          Wasps on the other hand, I turn into a screaming little girl. Hate hate hate them. Terrified of them.
