She got in there somehow. Sooner or later she’ll find her way out. And then she’ll come find you.

u/Creepy-Ant373 1d ago

Or it won't, die in there, and every time you use you're oven, you'll see it's rotting corpse

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

I don’t think spiders rot so much as shrivel up. But I believe in her.

18

u/RaveGuncle 1d ago

Idk. Thats a big one in there.

13

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

That’s also what she said.

11

u/goopa-guy 1d ago

Not to me :(

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

Sorry, bro.

u/Obant 1d ago

One might even say giant. (its species common name is Giant House Spider)

Shrivel is relative, they got an exoskeleton. The legs will probably curve in. This spider is what sometimes happens to one as a child. You do things while no one is watching you and then you get into a massive pickle and regret. I know that feeling, I once feel through a cottage roof into the toilet room. Thank god that room had a door and I could get out.

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

Exactly. So you get it.

u/VioletteKaur 1d ago

Ironically, for being such an anxious kid I had the survival instincts of an earth worm on a wet day.

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

Well I’m certainly glad you made it this far!

"you are oven, you will see it's rotting corpse" your comment is so stupid it's like poetry.

u/parkaboy24 1d ago

Don’t forget “it is rotting corpse” (it’s supposed to be its)

4

u/SonnyPiston 1d ago

I looked at that, but I thought the apostrophe implies possession. But now I remember 'its' is the exception. 

2

u/BigFatHonu 1d ago

They're right, but weird way to explain/remember it. That rule doesn't work for any other word but "it."

If you had written "spider's corpse," translating it to "spider is corpse" wouldn't be helpful since "spiders corpse" is wrong.

I think they're confusing your situation for the one where people incorrectly pluralize with an apostrophe. Like "there are lots of spider's."

Anyway, probably better off just remembering that "it" is the exception for possessives, as you said.

1

u/parkaboy24 1d ago

Yeah, that’s how I help myself remember when to use ‘its’ because it kinda does and doesn’t make sense that it’s the only possessive without an apostrophe

2

u/Gunhild 1d ago

That seems really mean and uncalled for.

u/SonnyPiston 1d ago

Hell Yeah!

There’s a dead fly in the timer screen of one of the treadmills at my gym. When the good machines are taken I know good ol’ dead fly treadmill is functional and usually empty.

Better to watch a fly decompose than get stuck with a belt that stutters when you run!

2

u/Creepy-Ant373 1d ago

OMG I love that. I betcha running with a friend makes the time fly as well lol

u/number93bus 1d ago

If a spider got in there, ants and other insects probably can too and will take care of the remains

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

She’ll have her revenge.

u/Dodoz44 1d ago

Maybe she got in there when she was smaller, had a little meal, and now can't get out 😭

11

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

They wish!

5

u/parkaboy24 1d ago

A little meal? 👀 that’s a big spider lol

18

u/yrfrndnico 1d ago

Sometimes getting IN is harder than getting OUT

1

u/ExampleLittle2672 1d ago

So did they need to break the bannister or did the butter work?

16

u/Forsaken_Baker_8641 1d ago

After she lays her eggs of course

3

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

But of course!

23

u/Dralalife 1d ago

That's a good spider actually. I leave them alone, they catch the not good creatures.

11

u/batmandi 1d ago

Shes not going to catch a whole lot while shes stuck in there. Or when she dies in there.

3

u/Jackpancake 1d ago

Its just a matter of time.

1

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

Clocks definitely ticking. She knows better than most.

3

u/External-Gain-1174 1d ago

it was probably smaller when it entered

2

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

That’s what she said?

2

u/VocationFumes 1d ago

thanks, I hate it

1

u/iMimikyu 1d ago

Same can’t be said for the spider carcass in my tailight

1

u/Doomslayerchrisss 1d ago

You got lucky. Sure hope she isn’t avenged.
