I was on the phone to a friend today when I idly opened the bathroom door and saw this ENORMOUS spider, the size of a 75c piece in the bath! EWWRAGHEEEOW!!! Begorrah and hapotchikin, it gave me the heebie jeebies.
I'm somewhat ashamed to say that my solution was to fill the largest container I could find with water and squemishly chase the spider around the bath (from a terrified distance) until I washed him down the plughole.
Only somewhat, because there appears to be a co-ordinated strategy here. Early today (before the petrifiying bathtub experience) I found another, smaller, 5-cent-piece spider LURKING ON MY CHAIR RIGHT WHERE I REST MY HAND!!! I squished that one with a Resene test-pot and spent the next hour freaking out every time I touched the chair by accident, because of the spider juice.
Simply by the power of suggestion, my finger burnt and itched where it had touched the chair.
*BLEUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!*
Spiders! I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
my dear, a 75c piece??

Posted by: Karen at January 11, 2005 08:01 AMA 75c piece is what you get when you hysterically add together the sizes of a 50, 20 and 5-cent piece. Of course.
I think if I developed spider-like powers I'd go insane from fear.
... actually, now I don't feel so bad about washing and squishing the two I saw yesterday. They were probably suicidal reincarnated arachniphobes.
Thanks
