Felt something going up my leg :mad:

….jumped up in blind panic to find it was a spider, about the size of a 50p piece.

Argh…hate them, worse thing is, I can just keep feeling things crawling over me now when they aren’t eugh…

Lights are now on, the thing has crawled under my TV stand but I can feel it watching me

How the ...... did I post this in General Hardware

Mods please delete or move to GD.

Unless of course ths thing crawls in my computer and shorts the pc in which case I will be back.

Put some survival techniques into practice like Bear Grylls. Cut it's head off & eat it!

It's waiting for you to drop your guard...

...Then it'll jump on your face and start gnawing on your eyeballs.

I can't stand the spiders in hl2, they are worse than real ones. The sound effect is too good.

The big black ones which rattle at you then inject poison? They always make me jump. Thought the Doom 3 ones were worse tho.

Find it and murder it

It's more likely it will crawl into your open mouth while sleeping & take up residence.

Stop being a big jessy and get on with your life?

It's a single spider from the UK, it's about as dangerous as farting in a lift, unpleasant, but its not going to kill.

You've eaten more spiders and insects in your life than you've seen on your leg in any rate.

You know that the average person swallows something like 20 spiders in their life, whilst asleep............ :eek:

As above, that's not true.

No, I mean cut it's head off and eat it.

Who cares that Bear Grylls stays in a hotel/uses bottled water etc. Does it really matter? It's entertainment, it's good.

obligatory spider photos.

That's what I thought as well, but not all sites on the interweb agree...

Doesn't sound implausible though
