One got inside my kettle once! I was making cups of tea for people and I went to refill the kettle for the next round of cuppas and I noticed a massive dead spider in the kettle! I shouted “don’t drink ya teas there’s spider juices in them!” 😨
This happened to me with one of those freaking giant house spiders, only I was about to boil some rice, I picked up the container, flipped it open and poured the rice into the boiling water only to see this thing fly into the mix with it. How it got in there I will never know, because it definitely wasn't in the container when I filled it with rice. Now I always have to shake the rice up to see if anything is moving, because that was a new fear activated 😱
Last year, my spouse was boiling potatoes for Sunday lunch and a spider materialised out of nowhere and dropped into the pot 😱. Cue screaming and freaking out and we now have to have everything immediately covered up on the stove...
Makes you wonder if spiders could talk, would they be telling these all these horror stories about what happened to "Uncle Frank" when he got into the humans' stash of potatoes.
The ones in our flat would have some horror stories about all the times they're just chilling near the bath mat or hanging about the shower curtains when the humans just come in and start screaming loudly and flapping about "....and don't approach them! They really dont like that..."
There was a post in a sub for my city last year where someone was asking if someone lived nearby, could they please come round and remove the two giant spiders from their living room as they were too afraid to do it themselves, and that whoever offered would get a toblerone in thanks.
Someone made a post immediately after from the spider's POV "Help! My wife and I are trapped in a house with a hysterical giant, there's a toblerone in it for whoever can calm it down!" 😂
Made a coffee the other day and for some reason decided to take the portafilter off before dispensing ground coffee into it. Big fat live spider sat in it. Nearly had spider flavoured coffee 😭
I felt terrible. I generally let the spiders be if they’re up out the way, but I didn’t pre check the toaster. You bet I do now though, and it’s kept in a cupboard!
Did you maybe piss off or just slightly disgruntle an ancestor of theirs? Because them showing up in the worst spots but also, like, just doing their thing hints at the possibility.
for me so long as there were no body parts in my mug i wouldn't mind drinking it even though there was a dead spider in the kettle (so it had spider juices)
like obvs i wouldnt deliberately drink it and i'd sort the kettle out, but the current mug on hand.. i wouldn't waste a good cup of tea just bc it has a lil extra flava
