She awoke to find the spiders' revenge, and coined the phrase.

It happens to be a fairly common occurrence. Many biologists say that the surest way to get a spider bite is to kill a spider. You can shower, bleach yourself, etc., but apparently the scent of dead spider remains and drives all remaining spiders around you into a murderous fury. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a spider slowly crawling up your thigh right now, or in a shoe in your closet, or behind the soap bar in the shower...

Why the fuck did I read that. I did not need to know that.

Its true :(

Need a better picture or at least something to reference the size. Although a large spider did not look like the size of a palm.

Great story though.

ROFL! Well done. However, you know the spider guild is gonna put a contract out for you now...those are closely guarded trade secrets that they've killed for millenium to protect.

Worse: Yesterday, I did some laundry and lazily threw most of it in a pile on the floor in my closet. In the morning I went to grab some underwear and there was a spider the size of a kitten sitting there on my shit. I started throwing textbooks at; finally a huge Java book killed it.

I spent all day imagining what would have happened if this monster had been camped out inside the boxers and I put them on without noticing. No crotch necrosis, thanks. I also kept picturing a face-hugger-sized spider crawling on my face and biting my eyeballs out while I slept.

So I went to bed last night and I woke up to see a fucking spider dangling in front of my face. I freaked out, jumped out of bed, and turned the light on, but I couldn't find it. You better believe I slept on the couch. That bastard was out for revenge.
