I've nearly wrecked my car before because of a spider. I was driving to work one morning and while going down the road, I noticed a spider was lowering itself from my visor and heading straight for my lap. I completely freaked out, swerved off the road, slammed on the brakes and immediately got out of the car. Once I killed it, I was able to continue driving but ever since then, I've never left my sunroof cracked open at night.

That was a funny story, OP and there's no doubt I would have reacted the same exact way had it happened to me. I cannot stand spiders.

Well at least I'm not alone here. 49erinnc and shadowofmyself are in the same boat as me.

49erinnc, this has happened to me before while driving on a road. It's actually a very bad situation becuase you panic. However, it's a lot more convenient than being stuck in a drive through because at least on the road, you can pull over and take care of it.

this whole story is even funnier if you know him in real life, wearing cargo shorts and flip flops, going ballistic in the drive thru.

I think this is payback for all the drive thru torment you caused when we were in highschool.

:laugh: Why would this happen to me, seriously? Especially in the drive through stuck between cars. It's almost as if I'm being tested.

You should see me running around in our back lawn cussing up a storm while getting chased by the carpenter bee's that have taken over our shed.

Speaking of that.. I gotta get the mower out today.. could make for an interesting afternoon and a good laugh for the neighbors

Do you want the bees in your backyard? If not, isnt there something you could do to get rid of them?

I've read that Seven dust will kill them off.. but you have to be able to get it deep inside their holes they dig in the wood.

Wasp & hornet spray didn't do a damn thing but piss them off

Is that the same thing as mason bees? If so, they don't sting.

Spiders aren't insects.




And all you little girls who are screaming about spiders need to get yourselves a boyfriend to take care of the big scary creatures. :laugh:

Bonus points for acting like an Ewok :thumbsup:

I had a friend that feared spiders just as much as you. In fact, back in high school one day students were bringing in things for their ecoterium(sp?) projects. You had to bring in things like grass, insects, anything from the place you had chosen.

One girl brought in a spider in a jar along with some other things, well she makes the mistake of letting it out right at my friend walks in. That spider didn't last two seconds outside the comfort of its jar before SMASH! My friend has stepped on it and screamed like a girl.

Funniest thing I have seen.

I must have watched that movie a hundred times when I was a kid. Come to think of it, I think thats when my fear of spiders began.

Such a horrifying movie...

First, Im terrified of spiders. With that said, our house has plenty of trees around and we have no choice but to park under trees. Occassionaly, we'll see a small spider or two on or around our cars. No big deal for me though. Last night, I headed out for some fast food at Wendys. As I'm in the drive through line, there is a car behind me, and a car in front of me ordering. At that moment, I look to my left out the window and I see a spider. Im a little shocked, but a glance a little more to my left, and theres another spider inches from my head inside the car. I panic, turn off the car, climb through to the right side door and get out. I get my flashlight out of the glove box and head over to the drivers side door.

The guy behind me starts honking, and I shout "theres something in my car!!!". Then I grabbed a stick to get rid of the spider outside. I then try to open the drivers door to get the spider that was inside, but the door is locked. I run around the car, climb through and unlock the drivers door. Then I climb out again through the right side door, run around the car and open the driver's door looking for the spider. I finally see it and flick it out of the car. Mean while, the guy behind me has a frustrated look on his face but he looks a little scared of me like I'm crazy.

After a couple minutes, I was just too embarressed to even order food from Wendys, I drove across the street to McDonalds.

Thinking back at it now, that guy must have thought I was crazy running around my car, screaming that something is inside, and poking my car with a stick.

That's all. I'm considering fogging my car this weekend.

sounds like that bees trick from tommy boy krunchy!

i'm not arachnophobic, i just squish 'em. but i am more likely to be labeled ophidiophobic.

This probably just payback for all the times I caught a bug and threw it in the toilet and proceeded to pee on it.

Come on guys, don't act like you've never done this.

No, but in 4th or 5th grade, we all discovered one use for magnifying glasses at recess. The ants trembled that day.
