bloody spiders!

[montyv8]

was driving in the city earlier, on a fairly busy road, when i looked in my rear veiw mirror and saw a huntsman on my rear headrest....
i hate spiders... not scared of them, just not a big fan...
there was no where to pull over for about a kilometre, so i drove with one eye on the road and one on my mirror till i could pull over.
as soon as i stopped, i opened all the doors (in the rain) and grabbed a towel from the back seat. i tried to flick him out the door, but he jumped to the floor and ran under my driver's seat. bugger. i couldn't find anything to get under there with to push him out, so i looked in the boot, and found a can of insect repellant that was left there from a recent trip to the beach.
so i emptied almost the complete contents of the can under my seat.

about 30 seconds later a very dazed and depressed looking spider wandered out from under my seat, over my sill, and fell to the ground. i didn't kill it, i figured being covered in bug repellant was bad enough......
and the rain will get most of it off.

thats the second time i've had a huntsman in mar car (that i know of)

the first time i had only been in oz for two weeks, i was in my xb wagon, and a hunstman ran across the inside of my windscreen....
being from NZ i had never seen such a large spider. i was on the phone to my mrs at the time, (handsfree phone), she had no idea what was goin on as i was yelling like a crazy person lol.... (she was still in nz, and also had never experienced a huntsman, so had no idea what the fuss was about)

i bet you thought this was gonna be an interesting thread lol......
