A huge spider crawled in front of me last night...in my car...

Year's_End · 12-26-2008, 01:38 PM

I flipped a shit. I'm not arachnophobic (sp?), but I'm pretty close. It's like 10 at night and I'm driving to my friend's house and this fat white spider crawls right down the driver side of the windshield. I would say it's close to 1.5-2" in length. I pulled over to try and get it, but it crawled down the windshield under the cowl panel.

Got to my friend's, it popped out, merc'd it.

I dunno about you guys, but I've never had spiders (or any other kinds of significant crawlers) in my car before. Word to the wise: Don't leave your sunroof cracked open overnight.

I fucking hate spiders.

mmm def · 12-26-2008, 01:52 PM

Man I would have flipped if that happened to me, yuck!

O-cha · 12-26-2008, 02:14 PM

I came to my car one day to find a big fat one had made one of those really dense webs (not the pretty ones) in the corner of my windshield, FAT type of spider. Sucked it up with a wet dry.

I fucking hate spiders..

number335 · 12-26-2008, 02:37 PM

LOL...I had a similar incident in my car. I had the sunroof open and as I started to drive i see this spider slowly dropping down in front of my face, hanging on its web. I'm not usually afraid of them, but that scared the crap out of me!

MCMLXXXIX · 12-26-2008, 02:59 PM

LOL i had a spider crawl onto my arm once when i was driving with my sis. i quickly shook it off. we had to pull over and find that sucker! i didnt want it in the car and she refused to go back in till we got it. never did find it.

also, one day i was driving with the sunroof open and i hear like crackling noises and im like wtf is that. i get to a light and i look in my rear view and there was a dragon fly in the back of the car!!! i kept watching it the way home and it just stayed in the back hitting against the window. i got home, opened all windows and try to force it out. i dont remember seeing it fly out but it wasnt in there anymore. freaked me out

DougLikesBMW · 12-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Holy shit, I would flipped the fuck out. I hate spiders soo much, but I'm not arachnaphobic either. Ooh man, you bastard BL I'm gunna think about this when I get into my car at night time every night now.

40yroldawakening · 12-26-2008, 05:10 PM

don't like them either

The_AMG_Hunter · 12-26-2008, 05:13 PM

I got stung by a bee once in my car

Sara · 12-26-2008, 06:10 PM

That happened to me once I was driving and it was on the passenger side of the dashboard. I pulled over instantly and got out of my car with a piece of paper trying to get it out. I turned into the biggest scared-y cat.

bmstyle71 · 12-26-2008, 06:15 PM

apparently I'm sweet to the max. Twice I was driving and I find a bee on my thigh just walking around. First time I froze up and drifted 3 lanes because I was staring at it..hahaha good thing no cars were around. Buy bug spray and spray it around, it helps. I bought the raid brand that's lemon scented. Smells like air freshener, works like magic and makes the car smell good

GreenThree · 12-26-2008, 07:45 PM

Yep, thats pretty much the worst. In my last car, I was driving, and a small light brown spider repelled down right in front of my head. I almost swerved off the road!

CatchM3 · 12-26-2008, 09:51 PM

maybe they come with the car?

chuck92103 · 12-26-2008, 10:03 PM

No spiders, but I did have a chick crawl all over me in my car once.

I can top that. One time I was waiting at a red light with a whole row of cars behind me. Next thing I know, this spider started to dangle down from my visor right infront of my face and just then the light turned green! I didn't know what to do, there was no time to reach for a tissue and if I accelerated I knew it would swing into my face.

So as I accelerated *slowly* I kept having to blow at the thing to keep it at bay until I could pull into a side street and stop to catch it. True story
