On the subject on insects / creepy crawlies; I accidentally left my car window open last night, was driving to work this morning and a spider crawls up the driver's door window. Now I'm a right wuss when it comes to spiders so I'm leaning as far away from the window as possible whilst still trying to drive. It crawled up onto the frame of the door and I saw an opportunity to open the window and flick it out. Now in hindsight I should have just squashed the little prick when it was on the window, but I panicked. My plan back-fired as the spider fell but it managed to shoot a bit of web, creating a sort of bungee and it just hung, suspended from the door frame, level with my chest. I was seriously freaking out now, then it fell, the string of web wasn't strong enough and broke. At this point I had no idea where it was, it had potentially landed on my seat or may have dropped down the gap between my seat and the door. I had no choice but to bounce up and down trying to squash the bastard, in case it was on my seat, I must have looked a right tit to anyone looking into my car. When I stopped at the lights I had a quick look and couldn't see it so assumed it had dropped down the gap. This sort of made things worse as I no longer knew its whereabouts. Then, 5 minutes of worry later, I saw it again. It was now crawling up the jumper I had on a coat hanger hung up in the back. It stopped level with my head-rest meaning it was just inches from my neck, I wasn't best pleased about this and spent the rest of the journey leant very far forward with my rear view mirror angled so I could watch it. Just as I pulled into the car park at work the bugger moved again, crawling out of sight. I parked up hopped straight out of the car and saw if on the back of my jumper, I grabbed a tea towel that was in the boot of my car (I'd been using it to clean the inside of the windows previously). I managed to reach in without disturbing it and squashed it using the tea towel so I won in the end but it was nip and tuck for a while. One of the worst car journeys ever.

Can we ask all owners of CCTV in the area to send in their footage from this morning? This sort of thing deserves a re-enactment worthy of Crimewatch.kenzie115 said:On the subject on insects / creepy crawlies; I accidentally left my car window open last night, was driving to work this morning and a spider crawls up the driver's door window.
