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

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

*facepalm* It's Women like you who make us Female drivers look bad. I bet the spider was as big as your brain or as big as your rear view mirror. Do what #17 suggested earlier; Pull the damn car over and let the spider crawl away. You could have been killed if you took you eyes off the road and rode off a 4,000 ft. cliff. Remember OP, you're driving 2,000 lbs of moving steel. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE DAMN ROAD AND THE COP WON'T CITE YOU. >:( Moron.

And you make Americans look bad. Go read your English textbook and study harder, because it's not cool to leave messages like that on a public forum. -In reply to #66

Agreed, and we do have this thing called the Grand Canyon, but America doesn't have cliffs... ugh.

You're kidding, right? America does have cliffs. I drove up to Yosemite National Park last week, and a good half of that drive is along a cliff. Cliffs are anywhere the land isn't flat, such as mountainous areas. You're a moron.

You know what's worse? Driving down a 4 lane highway at 110kms hour, with no areas to pull over and stop in. You're in a little Mini Cooper S, and you're 1.82m tall, so your head is close to the ceiling of the car. Then, in your rear view mirror, you catch a glimpse of a spider about the size of your hand (yes, Australia) walking upside down on said ceiling, coming from the back of the car (where it has no doubt just finished a meal of, oh, I don't know, ******* radioactive chainsaws dipped in a hydrofluoric acid sauce or something) towards you. Just then some juggernaut goes past, his wheel nuts uncomfortably close to your low traveling head. You deal with staying alive, then you frantically check the rear vision mirror but the spider is nowhere to be seen. It's either on the ceiling but in some blind spot (straight over your head!?!) or it's dropped off. Neither thought is comforting. It's a long trip to the next freeway exit. As soon as you leave the freeway you skip to a stop in a blizzard of loose gravel, kick open the door and execute a commando roll out into the dirt. Cue 10 minutes of gingerly investigating the interior of the car with a stick and your hand wrapped in a greasy rag (in case I have to stuff it in its mouth to stop it from tearing my throat out). And you never do find that spider....

Hey. I've got the first paragraph for my next twilight book "Vampire spiders". Perhaps I'll get a movie deal. *thinking of ways to not give HomeAl0ne any of the royalties*

Excellent narrative HomeAlOne. Why do I get the feeling your camp fire stories would cause insomnia?

Haha, we had the same thing happen while driving through Canada. (BTW, did NOT realize that they could be so freaking huge in November). Only husband was driving and my phobia paralyzes me. Good thing he was driving - we were on cliff with small little barrier between us and the small looking lake. He wouldn't pull over car either, so I didn't move a muscle till we hit a rest stop (if you've driven through the YT during winter, you know that they are few and far between.). Once at rest stop, I stood outside till he found the nasty creature. Ugh, I have a million horror stories bout them.

OP, you are so dumb. You are really dumb, for real. I have a fear of spiders and one day I also noticed a small spider right next to me in my car while I was driving. You know what I did though? I kept driving and paying attention to the road and waited till I got to my destination before I did anything about the problem. For goodness' sake, it's just a damn spider.
