When I used to stay over at my dad's house, i'd have to sleep in the basement, and wolf spiders loved living down there. I found spiders in my bed several times. The worst was a spider that crawled into my mouth while sleeping. Something freaking in my mouth woke me up, i bit it instinctively, turned the light on and found the remnants of a wolf spider in my mouth. They do not taste very good.

But I like the spiders that hang out up in the corner of a room I rarely occupy and eat all the flies and stuff. Those dudes are a-ok in my book.
I started itching just now.

Maybe the spiders had a suicide pact from having to live where someone craps.

So I was just in the bathroom, doing nature's business, and a spider dropped down from the ceiling right in front of my face. It was a startling moment. This spider was clearly not my friend, and I don't want to share a bathroom with it. Not cool, dude, not cool.

I trust you crushed the life out of it with your bare hands, yes?

btw, this happened to me once in my car while I was driving down the highway. It was a big spider. I pretty much had a total freak out.

Good news everyone! A new spider, no doubt the great-great-great grandspider of the original, has taken up residence in the same corner of my bathroom. I have named him Leroy.

Are you billing your clients while spending so much time in the crapper?

I love that they insisted on using "human face" as the comparison point just in case the picture itself wasn't enough to make you [expletive] your pants. I guess 'spider the size of a sheet of paper' doesn't have quite the same impact.

This is a fun bump. It brought back a lot of memories about life at my last firm, and how much I hated it so much that I went fairly well insane.
