Moments of sheer terror

Walked out this morning and straight through a huge spiderweb, which is far more annoying than it is terrifying. But about five minutes later, I was looking at a fox in the yard looking at me when the mother of all spiders started crawling up the back of my neck! :O

 

Ungoliant?

 

Shelob

 

Do you suffer from Arachnophobia?

 

Not really, though I was bit by a recluse once as a cub scout on a campout. Still have the scar after 40 years.

 

Well, personally I know how I'd feel if some large lumbering biped just destroyed the web I spent hours constructing

I'd be looking for some payback, out for some revenge ...lol...

Just kidding

 

Never been described as a lumbering biped before, but if the shoe fits...

You had any moments of sheer terror or mortification lately?

 

Oh my!
I will be back later.

 

Betcha there was a lot of passengers who needed a change of shorts after that one.

 

Lady friend and I came back to her house after a movie--it was dark. So I got out, opened the garage door ( by hand and it opened out) and felt a bunch of stuff hit my face and i jumped back and looked down. It was a huge black widow that had scraped across my face and was now scampering toward the inside of the garage. My friend had lived in this house since 1963 and had never sprayed anything for bugs or spiders. There were lots of black widows living on the bottom of the siding on her house, so I had to watch myself when I was in her yard. I don't kill little spiders when I find em' in my house--I put em'out, but I don't like spiders at all. They're creepy! My aunt, who weighed about 90 pounds was bitten on her neck by a black widow and had to go to the hospital.

 

I was trying to think of moments of sheer terror in my life. I did not experience that when a guy pulled a gun on me from 3 feet away--I just hauled ass. Not when I was in a car wreck drag racing going a hundred or so----two killed--one a veg for life--and me. Didn't have time for terror falling off roofs four times. Although I was pretty upset when the 747 I was on was hitting enough turbulence to make the movie screen bend again and again and the wings flap! That's the last time I have flown--1976.

Although I do startle very easily which has provided my kids with an endless amount of entertainment over the years!

 

I think I behave strangely when I am terrified. My car caught fire many moons back, I went back to retrieve my handbag.

 

I do like those little jumping spiders. Every time I have held my finger down to them , they jumped on, I raised them up and we looked at each other for a bit and then i put them back down.
