Insects, Spiders and Animals: Chance encounter

Chance encounter

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my cat ran outside. As I ran around the side of my house to get her, I felt a gigantic spiderweb land on my face. I also felt a light thud on my eye and it started to tear up. I ran inside and looked in a mirror, the spider was in my eye. FML

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, with water in my eyes, I stepped out of the shower and rubbed my face with a towel. When I looked in the mirror, I realized there had been a giant spider on the towel. Its guts and legs were smeared all over my face. FML

Today, a spider crawled across my glasses' lens. My first reaction was to smack myself in the face. FML

Today, I thought I felt a spider crawling by my eye. Having a huge fear of spiders, like an idiot, I lamped myself in square in the eye. I now have a partial black eye because of what turned out to be a feather. 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 washing dishes when I picked up a plate and saw a huge spider. Trying to be nice, I took the plate outside and tried to gently push the spider off. The wind blew it into my eye. 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, 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

Freaked

Today, as I put on my pajamas, a large spider ran down my leg. After freaking out, killing it, and recomposing myself, I went to the bathroom. As I sat down to go to the toilet, I looked up to see hundreds of baby spiders hanging over my head. FML

Today, I was washing my hands in the bathroom when I looked up and saw a spider on my cheek. Panicking, I slapped myself in the face as hard as I could to kill it. Turns out the spider was on the mirror. FML

I've had a wasp sting me in the eyelid before, but getting a bug stuck to your eye sounds awful. I'm assuming it was a pretty small spider as you didn't notice it but still...ouch.

why didn't you just swat the spider web away when you came to it? idiot.

cause spider webs are hard to see and if the spider's small enough to get in her eye anyway it would probably be too small to notice when you're running straight at it.

YDI for running after a cat. Seriously? Who runs after a cat that goes outside? WTF.

Really, are you that ******* stupid? You wouldn't run after you're pet if it went outside? Not all cats are outdoor cats. To the OP, I really hope you got it out. That's gross, FYL. :(

Sounds like something that happened to me. I wasn't running after a cat, per se, but I walked through a spiderweb on the way to my car. A spider got stuck in my hair, close to the hairline, and bit me. Guess how I developed arachnaphobia? #76 - some people have indoor cats, which can be hurt severly if they get outside.
