Why under the telly?? (Trigger warning, spiders)

[Justask]

It's bastard spider season again. The big fat juicy ones.

You see them at night when you are trying to relax, they leg it X8 across the carpet and aim for the corner where the TV sits. Every single bloody time.

I thank god DH hates them more than me and is prepared to dispose of them while I cower in the corner.

Is it me or is spider season early this year? Is this global warming in action? Why are they drawn to the TV?

Btw, I am definitely not BU 😁

They usually run out from under/behind the tv once you turn it on because they don't like the vibrations.

I remember a real monster goosing me during the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. I cannot speak or hear about that episode without shuddering, people think it is because the episode is so sad (it is!).
