Our calender is on the back of the shithouse door, so it gets read daily.
As I pressed on it a huntsman spider crept out from behind it.
Luckily I was in the right room for an event like that!!

Re: Just had the fright of my life!!
I would sympathise with you, but as you spent a couple of days blowing on the spider whenever you passed her in the corridor, I am not surprised she decided to hide behind the calendar.
I am just grateful it ws YOU she jumped out at and not me.

I'm surprised the poor thing didn't meet its demise from methane poisoning.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Maybe I'll put the UK- and two or three other places - ahead of Oz in my future travel plans.

It is an environment that requires the use of common sense. Which can be a good thing in the long run.

Dales, the methane may well have struck after all.
The spider is curled on the floor, looking dead, but isn't. She may be getting ready for a skin-shed.

Re: Just had the fright of my life!!
Yeah, that's what I like to see in a ten inch spider....They are able to travel extremely fast, often using a springing jump while running,
The ability to spring....

Not only that Jim, I kid you not, they swim too. They FUCKING SWIM!!

Ours is hiding again, and I'm NOT going to tell you where.

Aaaahhh, so it's a Hunts(wo)man....

I'm not a fan of killing spiders myself, but I'm curious; why don't you relocate her outside?

We could, and often do.
If this one poses a scare to more than just the Gob, we might. I like their ability to seek out hidden daddy-long legs in the house and dispatch them.
I like to consider her my spider-spider-trap.

Re: Just had the fright of my life!!
Shouldn't you be training the daddy-long-legs to hunt the huntsman instead?
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Perhaps it's just me, but I think I'd prefer a few daddy long legs around the house to one of those beasts.

I love them, I just prefer not to encounter them unexpectedly.
