You must have some idea of how unsafe driving can be. Lets take it a step further. Do you have any idea how dangerous it can be? I do, especially if there is a distraction while approaching the on ramp and cruising home from work at 8:15pm doing 80ish mph on the highway. Let add in that distraction shall we? A spider happily frolicking to and fro across the inside of my windshield. Sitting in the driver's seat at that moment wasn't where I wanted to be. I froze. Swerved a little. I drove faster than I should, shifting my eyes back and forth across the window and clutching a shoe in one hand.
This is not the first run in I've had with a spider in my car and it probably won't be the last. Luckily it has been a number of months since the last incident. But yeck!!!! I can't stand spiders (with the exception of daddy long legs). I had creep crawly feelings the entire ride home. I'm officially cleaning my car tomorrow, inside and out. I was also reading some online stuff about ways to get rid of spiders. Some little odd tidbits (not sure if they're true so don't go quotin'), apparently they aren't too fond of chestnuts. Maybe I'll must fill my car to the brim with nuts. Of course I would have a different and more noticeable problem: squirrels. I've heard they don't take to citrus either. I'll have to remember to spritz my car with a little lemon here and there.
Looking on the bright side of things, I won this battle because that little spider met the business end of that shoe I was holding. Take that you evil creepy crawly. You have been squished!
