FUCK ME - You will not believe what just happened to me!

[PurpleToeNail]

There I was, driving home, minding my own business.... When a fucking gargantuan large spider crawled down the windscreen right in the centre of my view! Then I realised it was on the INSIDE. 😳I had to turn into side road super quick, stick my hazards on, grab a tissue & fling the thing out the window.... Arghhhhhh.

I GOT PROPOSITIONED BY LEE FROM BLUE!!!!

In a real classy joint called China White, circa 2002. What a time to be alive.

I had one come down from my visor when I was going down the M5 a few years back - I don’t do spiders bigger than a 10p unless they are tarantulas ( basically hamsters with extra legs) and it took a LOT for me to carefully open the window and watch it get sucked out…

in a horsebox one time a dragonfly flew in - unfortunately for him he hit the windscreen with such a force he died, but he was MASSIVE ( and beautiful )

Happened to me on the M25. Luckily it was on the approach to the Dartford Crossing tolls, so managed to make it to the barrier and then exploded out of the car. The toll guy came out of the booth to ask what on earth I was doing, and then refused to let me back in the car until he’d found it and evicted it. It was so kind of him. But he knew he was averting an accident in doing so and was a kindly, understanding soul. I have never forgotten him, all these years later.

Well done ,I would have screeched to a mad halt and run for the hills shouting like a madwoman .

My worst spider experience was when walking upstairs to bed one night. Something landed on my face, assumed it was hair and flicked it away. Only it wasn’t hair; it hit the wall next to me, bounced off and clattered onto the wooden stair behind me. I looked down to see the biggest spider I’d ever seen outside of the tropics. It clattered because it was so fucking huge. And it had landed on my face. My FACE.

i still feel nauseous at the memory. It was a Cardinal spider - look them up; biggest spider in the U.K. On my chuffing face.

If spiders are so frightened of us, why are they always flipping dropping down onto us or crawling on us. Why don’t they stay the f away? We are massive compared to them and they have 8 eyes so why come near us at all? Terrifying creatures

I nearly drove off the great ocean road because I though there was a massive Aussie spider on my leg. My friend quickly took over the driving of the rental that day.

On my honeymoon we were on a ship and the captain had an enormous praying mantis on his hand. I stayed about 10 feet away from the huge thing but decided to take a photo with my camera. The flash went off and then thing screeched with rage and flew straight at me, I can still see it flying directly towards my face. I was at the top of a staircase and shot down it, I’ve never moved so fast. My DH was doubled up with laughter.

That happened to me on a very hot day, all my windows were open because my air con had packed up☹️….. I was stationary at the front of a long queue of vehicles at red traffic lights. The wasp🐝 was buzzing around inside, all I could do was put my hazards on switch the engine off and exit my car very quickly to await the🐝 leaving. The lights changed to green, lots of cars horns blaring behind me then back to red before the 🐝 left.🙄 If it had only been a 🕷I would have calmly stayed inside until I could have stopped in a convenient place to deal with it, I like 🕷🙂

Wahey! Lee Ryan in Chinawhites. That's so Heat magazine of you.

Were you receptive to his charms?

This is exactly what my DH did once and it resulted in spiders and a really bad smell which lingered and reminded me of the spiders. As an arachnophobe I was livid with him.

Bloody heck that’s awful. I shudder to think what I might have done in that situation. Swallowed my fear hopefully, but I am arachnophobic about big ones. Well done. Phew.

Its actually light hearted and helps readers escape from all the bad things in the world right now,you didn’t have to read

This happened to me 20 years ago!! Bloody massive spider hid behind the sun visors and took every opportunity to jump out at me - needless to say I sold the car after many efforts to find him failed, and my nerves wouldn’t stand for any more motorway scares! 🤣

I once went to the forest and collected a load of pinecones and put them in a bag in the boot of the car. We were driving home on the motorway and when it got dark all the spiders in the pine cones started crawling out all over the car. Couldn’t stop till the next garage. Was a nightmare.

How pathetic! It was only a spider. If it had been in Australia, then maybe panic but not in the UK. I don't understand people bring scared of insects. Why?

Do you understand how phobias work?

Wow. I assume you've heard of phobias, right? Are you this empathetic in real life? 🙄

There’s not a single insect I’m scared of. I’m scared of spiders.

I guess you don't know how phobias work then? Have you had an empathy bypass?

You also don't seem to realise that spiders are not insects.

I'm in Australia. I'm scared of spiders. I was just as scared of them when I lived in England. Do I get a prize because the spiders that I see now could be venomous?

People aren't scared of spiders because of the risk of being bitten. They are scared of them because they suffer from arachnophobia. I can't believe that an adult needs this to be explained to them.
