I was attacked by hundreds of little white baby spiders in my car as I was driving home from work tonight. It was all I could do to keep calm and pull over and get out of traffic. I don't usually freak out over bugs, I'm not the girl that screams when I see a spider or anything like that - but these were micro small baby spiders and LOTS of them!
I immediately got out of the car and starting jumping up and down and brushing all the spiders off of me, screaming and cursing up a storm the whole time. I'm sure I was quite a sight. I did have one homeowner come out and putz around his yard, but really I think he was trying to figure out what the heck the crack head was doing on his block.
I called Q ... crying... "baby they were all over me (sniff, sniff, gasp for air) I'm so freaked out right now (sniff, sniff) I can't get back in the car (sniff, sniff) please come get me and bring bug spray!!" Q asks "Where are you" and I respond "I don't knoooooooooooow, (I'm sure I sound like a whiny little girl at this point but Q stays strong and calm for me) I just turned down a street but I don't know the name of it" (sniff, sniff)
Q found me and like a good knight in shining armour he brought weapons of mass destruction - bug spray! He bravely opened up the car, looked for those little buggers and sprayed away. Enough were killed that he could drive the car home and I followed in his car - ain't no way you could get me back in my Prius!
We went to Rite-Aid and picked up some of this -
Did you know that Raid kills spiders? I didn't know for sure but it says so on the label. My car is being bombed overnight and I think I'll just have Q drop me off at work tomorrow - then have the car detailed on Saturday to get rid of those residual chemicals.
I have a super short commute right now - I may switch to bike riding to work, as soon as I buy a bike!

ewww! unfortunately that's more common than not. hope the raid takes care of business.
Oh, I feel so sorry for you! But atleast Q got them out of the car :)
Thank God for Q, I would have had a heart attack twice and then prob caused an accident, and then my husband would have laughed at me, wait til I tell him what your husband did!
Carrie - Yes lets hope so!
Sandra - It was horrible!! but thank goodness I have the best husband in the whole world
Dana - my husband is a very smart man. He knows that if he rescues the princess I'll treat him like a prince and shower him with romance later that night. Now if he were to laugh at me, well... he can sleep alone if you know what I'm saying. ;-)
Good man, that Q, coming to the rescue.
It might take two details to get rid of all the chemicals, but better that than tiny little crawling things.
I shivered just reading this post. Creepy! But glad they're all gone!
he's a keeper for sure
