 If it had of been me I would have gone straight through the wall.

I can sympathise. My sister and I were going through a car wash once, and a spider strolled across the dash. My first reaction was scream and get out. Um...car wash...then it disappeared. As soon as we got home, she put a 'bomb' in the car.

Might be a good time to suggest keeping windows up when parked, no matter where.

  I remember my friend ringing me to come and get her.  [ On a country road.]  She was out of the car when I arrived, and refused to get back in.  She'd had a Snake slither across the dashboard.  Only a tree-snake apparently, but her husband had to go and get the car when he came home from work.

Their cars are parked in a closed shed when not being used, But you know sheds are not hermetically sealed.

Cheers,

Sheba.

We have these lovely little Sunbirds, a bit like a hummingbird,which nest in sheds and other secluded places, and

Wolf spiders that catch and EAT them!There is nothing like walking into a web and have a a spider as big as a saucer right in front of your face. Harmless, really, unless provoked...........Bill

Many years ago, I decided to drive into the city one Friday night. I backed out of the darkened carport and drove a short distance to the SE Freeway, then drove at 100km/hr for just over 10kms. As I turned onto the freeway under the bright streetlights I noticed a 'leaf' stuck in the middle of the bonnet - it stayed there the whole trip - I thought maybe it has some 'leaf sap' sticking it to the bonnet. As I turned off the freeway into the city and stopped at the first traffic lights since I left home, the 'leaf' unfolded itself in front of me - it turned into the most enormous Tarantula I'd ever seen - it ran across the bonnet and down under the wheel well somewhere. I never ever saw it again ! I think I frightened the living sxxt out of it, more than it did out of me !!!

I'll see if I can find a HAIRYER photo. .........Bill

The shower in the van's not that big, although she could be useful if I get a flat

I was reading in bed last night when I caught something from the corner of my eye. A huntsman...the size of a dinner plate...okay, slight exaggeration...on my pillow...very close to my face! I haven't moved so fast in years! I know they're harmless, but any spider in my house is dead. So after giving it a good unhealthy dose of Mortein, I sat in the lounge room till my heart rate went back to normal.

I put a fake huntsman in the paper towel dispenser in the ladies at work.
This was done when we were doing a night shift and my done just before my girlfriend arrived to start her shift.
In the particular toilet I knew my girlfriend used.
Apparently her scream could be heard over the noise of the printing press
