Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. I felt something get caught in my throat so I coughed and spluttered a bit. When I turned on the lights I discovered I'd coughed up a cockroach. FML

Juicy breakfast
Today, I woke up to a spider crawling across my face. I was so shocked that my new house had spiders, I jumped up out of bed, only to slip on the floor and land face down onto the bed. Wouldn't you know it, right where the spider was at that point. I can still taste the juice I squished out of it. FML

Extra protein
Today, I used my inhaler for the first time in a year. As soon as I took a puff I felt something strange go down my throat. Upon closer inspection I discovered there had been a spider living in the mouth of my inhaler... and I had just swallowed it. FML

Today, I woke up to something tickling me. Thinking it was my cat, I reached under the covers to give her a friendly scratch behind the ears. I imagine the giant spider that was actually there enjoyed my terrified screams. FML

Today, a spider crawled across my arm. After a quick dance in a fit of panic, I managed to scramble onto my bed. I thought I would stand up to see if I could spot the spider and maybe kill it. I was then promptly knocked unconscious by my ceiling fan. FML

Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML

Today, I was sitting under a rather large house plant in my dining room, minding my own business when a spider lowered itself right in front of my face. It startled me, causing me to gasp, which resulted in me inhaling the spider. I then spent 3 minutes choking on it. FML

They do say you swallow a few spiders in your sleep each year, don't freak out too much just brush your teeth and try to forget about it.

On the bright side, it's dead now.

Hate to say this but here it goes, The person eats and average of five spiders in their sleep... So on that you may have killed it just another came by...

An average of five in a lifetime. Or even year, not sure which one. But it's not five spiders every night. It's extremely unlikely for him to happen across another one to eat.

That's pure urban legend; someone did an actual study and debunked it. They succeeded in confirming, however, that you're very rarely more than five feet from a spider.

Well, there goes my good night's sleep. If anyone needs me, I'll be standing in the middle of the house with a fly swatter and blow torch.

Maybe it's the victim's family seeking vengeance.
