I get a big adrenaline rush when I’m driving and see a spider crawling on the windshield. I reach dow and turn on the wipers and hold my breath hoping that my tiny passenger is on the outside and will be swept away. If not I will have to jump out into traffic and hitch a ride to the nearest car dealer to purchase a new vehicle.

I have got to really send this one to my bro. He’d appreciate it 🙂
…oh ffs.
well, better inside the cockpit (where it’ll die from oxygen deprivation anyway) than inside your sealed high altitude helmet, as has been known to happen a few times…
One time on holiday in France, when I was very young, a huge spider crawled across the back seat of the car while we were on the highway. Obviously we couldn’t stop to deal with it in the middle of the highway, and at the next rest stop we couldn’t find it anymore.
We didn’t trust the car for the remainder of the holiday.
I can only remember having seen a spider in the car once, and I think it was a quite small one (the spider, though the car wasn’t that big either). I would probably have freaked out if the spider had been bigger, or if it had been behaving more like a normal spider, because it seemed to get very dizzy and confused after the short car trip…
As spooky as spiders are, they are *nothing* on a wasp in the car. At least the spider is usually eager to avoid you, too. Wasps always seem to head for you.
I once had a queen wasp in my car… and I’m terrified of wasps *shudders*
Ma was always calling for one of us to deal with bugs and spiders. Once, one of my aunts told a story about talking to her on the phone about something serious, when she started yelling and screaming. There was a june bug flying around, and Ma was throwing whatever was in reach at it, and calling for me to come get it. She never dropped the phone the whole time.
Well, better than the wolverine hiding under the seat. I lose more ankles that way.
My experiences with wasps is that they go for the youngest person present, which is what happened the time we had a wasp in the car when I was 9. They even seem to be able to determine which kid of a pair of twins is younger, and go for that one.
I may have just had a collection of weird wasp experiences, though.
One time I found out a honey bee was in my car. After the initial panic I calmed down because the bee was one from a hive I owned.
Try discovering that one of those boxes from your mom’s storage you just put in the back seat had a pair of bats sleeping in it. And only discover this after your already on the interstate and they decided to wake up and take an afternoon flight.
To this day, people still try to tell me tarantulas aren’t native to this area. BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW.
I don’t understand arachnophobes. You can utterly destroy your fears with a single punch or some hairspray.
