I have just gone down to the garage to fetch the washing from the dryer and an absolutely huge spider just dropped down, landing about 3mm from my hand. Seriously, it must have been 3 inches from top to toe - and we don't get spiders that big, generally. And it just hung there, looking at me malevolently while I freaked.
But that's not the worrying thing. Oh no.
It only had five legs.
Somewhere in my garage there is something that took on this monstrosity. And won.
...
Anyone want to fetch the next load from the dryer while I quietly rock and whimper in the background?
I mean, even Dean wouldn't tackle that motherfucker alone. Not without a flamethrower and a shitload of holy water.
I really, really, really do not like spiders. I don't kill them, because they've got as much right to live as anything, but that doesn't mean I want them anywhere near me.

Don't worry about it. You weren't the only person to post to the community, which was why I was getting a wee bit cranky about it :) I know that it's difficult to tell sometimes that things aren't as clear cut or as threatening as portrayed when things are written in DOOM and GLOOM and DIRE WARNINGS, so that many people take them seriously. You aren't the only person to have become worried about it and on the surface, it certainly looked as though the original poster had done her research.
Me, I'm just a cynical bitch ::g:: I've seen these things so often now that I roll my eyes and take them with a bucket load of salt.

The post-er posted it on the 14th, and has replied to several comments from the 15th - but only the ones who say they're gonna x-post about it. They've ignored several comments pointing out the mistakes that have been made, and then gone and thanked someone else for saying they'll spread the news. :s *blinks*
And after the 15th they haven't replied to any comments at all...me is thinking this is irresponsible!
Soz, went a bit rant-ish there!^^ Thanks for the forgiveness - you didn't have to, but it makes me feel a lot better! ♥
