Transportation, Cars, Accident, Spiders and Cops: Panic!

Panic!

By Anonymous - 12/01/2011 13:29 - United States

Today, I was driving when I saw a spider hanging from the ceiling of my car. I'm terrified of spiders, so I was watching it instead the road. When I looked back at the road, I had just enough time to swerve to miss the fire hydrant but not the tree. Even the cops laughed at me. FML

Today, a spider dangled an inch away from my face while I was driving. I freaked out and accidentally bumped the car in front of me. Three cops arrived on the scene and I had to explain to them what happened. I can still hear them laughing. FML

Today, a spider came down from its web in front of my face. This would have been fine and I could have killed it easily if I wasn't in my car. Driving on the highway. I cried. FML

Today, I drove my car into a fence because a spider was crawling from the mirror. The police laughed their asses off. One of them asked, "What should I write in the report? That she got scared of a spider?" Then he wrote just that. FML

Today, while driving, a spider crawled onto my gearstick. Not being afraid of them, I casually flicked it off. Onto the person sitting next to me. The person evaluating me for my driving test at the time, who happened to be arachnophobic. FML

Today, while hiking, I walked face first into a spider web. Freaking out, I shook my hair out in case there was a spider. Later on in the day the spider fell from my hair into my food. FML

Today, I walked into two things. The first was a spiderweb. The second, due to blind panic, was oncoming traffic. FML

Leave spiders to chill

Today, I saw a spider in my room. I got a piece of paper to try and put it outside. As I reached, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to smack where the spider was - my face. I fell on the floor disoriented. The spider got away. FML

Today, I saw a spider in my kitchen. Freaked, but trying to be humane, I held out a piece of paper so it would climb on, and I would then put it outside. However, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to whack at where the spider was - my face. I stumbled around, disoriented; the spider got away. FML

Today, I was taking a shower when I noticed the huge spider above my head. Now, being the smart person I am, I sprayed the water up at it, causing it to fall. Right on my face. FML

Thank goodness you made a solo crash. Even when faced with a phobia, please learn to prioritize life over fear of spiders.

Not true. Driving through the Yukon in November, we had a spider decide to hitchhike with us to Alaska. Luckily, my husband was driving - I literally freeze when I see a spider. This wasn't an ordinary, thumb-size spider either; it was rather large. We noticed ours when we had a sheer drop off on passenger side and truckers all around, three days after a massive ice/snow storm. I was ended up sitting entirely to still for about two hours, waiting to feel its monstrous body pulling itself up my leg........

What are you more afraid of: auto repair bills + medical bills + considerable pain + endangerment of those around you, or a small spider bite? It sucks, but YDI.

Believe me, I feel you there, OP. I'm terrified of butterflies and I'd do the same thing. And all of you can go ahead and laugh, hell, I laugh at my damn self! Lol

YDI a million times. Instead of ignoring a tiny spider less than a millionth of your own weight, you decide to stare at it instead of the road, endangering both your own life and those of other drivers and pedestrians. You're lucky that you hit a tree instead of a human.
