I came home from work one day to find my wife huddled on the sofa. When I asked what was wrong, she said that I needed to go kill the spider in the guest bedroom. I walked into the bedroom, didn’t see a spider, so I asked where it was. Wife replies that it’s on the wall by the window. Nope, no spider. Finally, it occurred to me to ask her how long it had been since she’d seen said spider (mind you, it’s approximately 6:00 pm) – wife says, “I saw it this morning.” Right. As if the spider will not have moved in the 9 hours since she’d first spotted it. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to sleep if she knew there was a live spider in the house, I waited a few minutes, then slapped the wall real hard with my hand, and called out, “Got it!” Never did see the spider.
I live in League City, TX in an apartment block…AND YOU NEVER SAW SO MANY DAMN SPIDERS IN YOUR LIFE!!! Everything from tiny jumping spiders, to spindly daddy long-legs to Tarantula-like monsters as big as an old-school laser disc are skittering the walls 24/7! I’m glad I got over my fear of them; this place would have me neurotic inside of a day! 😯
