So this is loose in my car **picture warning**

[Hoolajerry]

What the hell do I do? Had to pull.over as it was on my steering wheel at first. Tried to get it outside but couldn't manage it. I'm going to have to burn the car aren't I?

Just buy a new car. 🤣

Can’t you just grab it in a tissue and drop it outside (not tissue, the spider) and let it run away? You could burn the tissue later...

Pick it up and gently find it a new home in a hedge.

We actually did this last week ( dh did!)

Fuck me

😳👀

It might have babies!

It's already loose somewhere..

Is that under the glass ?
Oh dear god. Leave it unlocked somewhere dodgy and pray it’s stolen 😂

I just hope his mum and dad and the rest of his family are not also living in the car.

You need to catch it quick before it runs and hides because then you'll never be able to drive again without wondering where it is and imagining it running down the back on your neck.

I had one just like that in the boot of my car a few weeks ago. It scuttled into the corner, right behind DS2’s car seat. Kept expecting it to pop out but i’ve not seen it again. Who knows where it is?! Mind over matter. Don’t think about it.

I've got three quarter length trousers on. I keep "feeling" it crawl up my legs.

We had a false widow in the car when driving on holiday. It had taken up residence in the sick bowl. Dh sat looking at it in the sick bowl until we got off the motorway. Didn’t want to try flicking it out the window in case it blew back on to a child. But it was fine really. It’s just a spider. I’d freak at a mouse mind!

Abandon car and then get
Someone to go back and squirt high power spider killer in it and leave it overnight. That's the only way

Burn the car. Buy a new one! It's the only way!

Petrol bomb the car. It's the only way

@aliceneedswine great minds think alike!

Oh my god. I had this recently. Driving along the motorway and a giant spider casually strolled out of the air vent in the middle of the dashbord. It's hard trying to drive and pay attention to the road while simultaneously keeping your eyes on a giant hairy bastard laughing at you from the top of your gear stick. I felt like I was having a heart attack.

Leave it the keys and registration document. It it's car now.

Buy petrol, douse the car, chuck a match in and hope for the best.

That is quite literally the stuff of nightmares! You have to set your car on fire immediately. Sorry OP.

I would definitely burn the car! I know how you feel. A few years ago I was driving on a freeway over a bridge so could not stop and pull over. A huge spider starting dropping on a string of web down right in front of me. It was heading for my lap. Honestly, it was traumatic. I can't even remember how I got it away from me.

Don't set your car on fire!

Abandon car.
Walk to nearest car showroom.
Pick brand new car.
Buy brand new car.
Drive home.

Job done.

I once swerved off a road into pub car park because of a bloody great spider. I got out of the car phone in hand wondering who the hell to call.

A car pulled in behind me and aman said "Is that a spider problem?" I nodded and he sent his daughter, about 8, over to sort it out!

Turned out he saw me pull over and leap out, rcognised the look on my face and decided to help... but a he too was an arachnaphobe he asked his daughter if she would mind. She didn't, she just seemed to find it fairly amusing. But did say thank your for the ice cream I made her dad promise to get her on the way home from school!

So whilst I don't really like the "Burn it" thing, maybe you should just leve the car witha 'free to anyone brave enough" sign on it! Walk home, it's safer!*

*Yes, I Know, please don't tell me what I have been told a squillion times before. Just read it as it was intended - an arachnophobe empathy statement...

I’ve had three of those huge ones in my bathroom this week. I feel your pain.
You deserve a medal for not crashing!!

Are you in Yorkshire? My dc love spiders. They were playing with a similar size one t'other day. I'll send them over.
