DH just brought me a little post-prandial liquor. Nice surprise. On my third sip there was something weird in my mouth. Pulled it out. It was a dead spider.

We don't use the shot glasses very much. It must have been dead in it and he didn't see it.

So that's been nice!

So not like a tequila worm?

I think this kind of accidental protein is permissible in veganuary (like weevils in a sack of grain). B12 and extra crönch, delicious and nutritious.

Not sure I can see dead spider catching on like the tequila worm!

I once poured some boiling water into a pan - only to fine a huge boiled spider in a nest of silk as the water cooked the poor wee thing. That right put me off my pasta...

@Lordfrontpaw That's gross too. Do feel a bit sorry for that poor spider though!

Why? It probably died happy.

Lordfrontpaw · 25/01/2020 21:13

It was a monster - it would have eaten me given half the chance...

DappledThings · 25/01/2020 21:13

Not my one fjreflycaramel. I feel sorry for the one Lordfrontpaw boiled alive!

My washing machine began leaking from the drawer I uncooked it and began cleaning it out a huge monster of a spider slid out which has been blocking my softener drawer not to worry it was so soft it slid down the plug hole and my machine worked again 🤮

Ugh, I somehow didn't see that. Now I'll depart from the thread as I dislike spiders but couldn't ignore it because of the title - reverse psychology at it's worst.

I found a dead one on the cat litter tray too it was big and looked like it had just....keeled over I kept thinking it was a horrible way to die because I was pregnant and not changing it my partner had forgotten and my sister hadnt been that week so I gloved up to change it it was dirtier than usual so that was a grim death

Am I the only one that had to google postprandial?. Thought it meant after sex but realised that was post-coital.

I had a massive spider on my shoulder once after putting on a top from the clothes horse.

A spider got into my swimsuit quite recently - I sort of felt something on my shoulder when I put it on, then I saw it swimming away from me in the pool!

I rescued it and put it on the side but I had the shivery feeling for a while afterwards.
