WHY did I open this thread!?
I am scared SHITLESS of spiders & now I can't stop shivering while reading everyone's stories.... *shudder*.... Ewwwwwwww.... no sleep for me tonight!
Here goes my nasty spider story:
I was getting ready for school one morning when I thought I heard a knock at the apartment door. I grabbed a work shirt out of a box nearest me so I didn't have to answer the door topless.. lol.. so nobody there. I take the shirt off so I can continue drying my hair without overheating when I feel something icky on my back. Like a little tickle, but gross feeling. I look over at the box I took the shirt out of & realized it's a box my Dad brought from his garage that was full of old work stuff for Mat to wear while roofing...
I swat at my back, terrified of what I'm going to find.. when PLOP a gigantic bush spider plops onto the floor & starts leisurly walking around my bathroom... like I mean, casually strolling about as if to say "yeah, I'm here... deal with it!" Now it wasn't huge or anything (body maybe the size of a loonie) but it was SO disgusting & fuzzy looking & the thought that it was on me was just enough for me to lose it (I actually just gagged thinking about it!)!! I speed-dial Mat's cell phone. He's working on a roof, 4 stories above the ground.. with me crying hysterically (like almost hyperventilating) It takes him about 10 minutes to calm me down enough to understand what I'm carrying on about (he's about to jump off the roof & run home since he probably though I had broke some bones or something major) and once he finally gets it, he tells me to suck it up & hangs on me me!!!!!!!!! Now that I look back, I understand completely. I was a spazz & it was dangerous on the roof... But man that set me off even more!! LOL Another 10 minutes of crying & I finally got the nerve to put a bowl on top of the spider & finish getting ready for school... I couldn't even bring myself to kill it!!! Although I squirted it with Windex before I left because I thought it would immobolize it enough until Mat got home & could take care of it! I didn't want it to escape!! LOL I was so shaken up alll day! I was going to hairdressing school at the time with like 50 other females at the time so everyone was thoroughly understanding & almost as grossed out at me! LOL
Man, I'm a spazz for sure!
At least Mat finally understood how bad my fear was!!
(WOW, sorry that was so long!)
