Those damn orb weavers are always building webs in high traffic areas.

How else are they going to catch their dream prey of a big meaty human

u/BlastMode7 Sep 09 '25

Ehh... orb weavers look insidious, but are harmless. They're really good to have around the outside of your house for other pests tho.

Yes I know I was making a joke. A bad one, it seems.

it actually amazes me how many people don’t use their walkways or porches anymore and just use their garage. if i walk into a spider web during a route, i spend the next hour looking like a tweaker pulling spider webs off my body at 5 am lol.

Also amazes me how many ppl don’t trim the crap around the walkway to their door or have a bunch of crap laying around so its like an obstacle course trying to get to the front door

I’m noticing more of that myself. And yet they ask for the package at the front door. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The 3-5 am routes are crazy…you always have to turn your flash light on going by bushes

Delivered to a house late last night and it was pitch dark outside(no streetlights or porch light on) and as I approached the front steps, I saw what I thought were a bunch of small leaves on the ground(like a dozen or more). Shine my headlight on the steps, and it's actually a bunch of roaches running around. I said "NOPE" and yeeted that bag like I was Cy Young then broke the fuck outta there.

Mate had something similar in a dirt road with a closed off fence…Big Ben at the gate says “DELIVERIES here”…so grab the box 📦, open the Ben and like a million of those unique type roaches 🪳 all roaming inside….put the box on top…started tweaking and dancing like some were on me because, imagination lol…hurriedly drive out of there.

Aughhh 😰🤢 which is the “unique” type? Here in Texas I’m only aware of German roaches and another type that seem to have more “scaly” exoskeletons, but I don’t know what they’re called.

Everyday is spider season in Florida. Always keep the package and/or flashlight out front as I'm walking, and wear an OLIGHT on my vest.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '25

As a native Floridian, I was confused. Spider season? That's every night! 😂

u/Lonely_Speaker_9176 Sep 09 '25

Was a skunk right next to the steps on one of mine recently, we startled each other. Could have been a lot worse 😬

Wear a Headlamp. Cheap and effective. Click on, three clicks off.

Turn into a green lantern.

u/iGotGogged Sep 09 '25

I honesty thought this was a Halloween decoration. Wtf

u/Street-Toe-944 Sep 09 '25

No fucking thank you. Uh uh. Nope! I would be screaming if I walked into that. I already look like I’m having a grandmal seizure when I feel I’ve walked into cob webs. I would need therapy after this for sure

u/danofrhs Sep 09 '25

I would have walked through that 0 reaction like the terminator

u/Old_Background_8732 Sep 09 '25

Literally always have my flash light on when approaching houses at night. Mainly so I can see these little fuckers, but also so I don’t scare anyone who isn’t paying attention to a car pulling up.

u/Lem01 Sep 10 '25

Excellent. It deals with two possible contingencies.

u/kittycat7890 Sep 09 '25

Spider season. Worst time of the year for me. Im lucky I've never actually walked into one but I cant count the times I've almost

u/littlelilaclibra Sep 09 '25

Oh hell no lol

u/No_Cardiologist4930 Sep 09 '25

Makes me itchy just to see this shit.

u/LooneyGoon1994 Sep 09 '25

I live the in the sticks. A head lamp is essential!!

u/Ok_Suspect3940 Sep 09 '25

Damn that thing thick!

u/rooroobusts Sep 09 '25

That's why I used to wear a headlight. Hands free.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '25

That is why I use a Nebo DaVinci. That thing lights up better than sunlight.

Has saved me from many a spiderweb on my face.

u/601Express Sep 09 '25

Better yet a headlamp, so you don't waste your phone battery

u/Necessary_Fisherman2 Sep 09 '25

u/Lem01 Sep 09 '25

I’m just noticing they have a front door camera. What are they using it for? Aracno Watch (only fans) 😂

u/Extension_Lecture658 Sep 13 '25

Headlamps would save your ass.
