I just almost threw a newspaper straight into a car.
Yep, I'm officially a spaz. It's no secret that I turn into a giant baby upon seeing a spider. Well, I picked up the newspaper and this HUGE black spider came out of the folds and almost crawled across my hand. I let out a Psycho-worthy scream and threw the newspaper. It missed the car driving past by only a few feet. I felt like such an asshat going into the road after it, with the driver just staring out the window at me.

:blush:

1. There, there, now, haruka...
Take a deep breath. :hug: Want me to come and kill it for you? My big he-man of a husband turns into a blubbering baby when spiders are near, and my sister is an arachnophobe of the highest order. I've perfected my spider-ridding skills over the years dealing with those two. :P

3. Well the spider is probably either somewhere in the driveway, road
or woods. Provided it doesn't try to make a home in my newspaper again, it should be okay. When I find them inside, I either show it to one of the cats or one of my lizards. Either way, it gets eaten.

6. Sounds like a natural reaction
to me. I do not like spider surprises either. The driver is probably wondering about your sanity though! :rofl:

7. One second I look like a normal person out having a smoke, picking up
their paper. Then suddenly, I'm screaming, flailing about and throwing newspapers at their car.
