Be decadent for once, they said. Take your shower at 11:30 at night they said. It’ll be relaxing they said. Yeah, well, I wasn’t expecting an eight-legged shower mate who just so happened to lose his footing (I mean, really??) in the sudden onslaught of water or thought to himself, “Hey, you know what would be really funny!? If I jump on this naked human’s shoulder and freak her the hell out.”
Who’s relaxed now!? Not me. And I’m pretty sure not the spider.
Just for clarification … I did not, in fact, wash the spider down the drain. He remains in my bathroom, somewhere, probably muttering to himself and anyone who will listen about “that crazy woman” he just encountered and warning others of my existence.

I was wondering that screaming sound coming from the east was!
I didn’t know spiders could scream that loud…
Oh ha ha, very funny!
It was a slightly mean spirited comment – but I was laughing my pathetic ass off thinking about it, which is usually a tell for me.
eek!
Right!?
All I can think of is how scared an eight-legged creature must be to lose its balance, Wendy. Yow!
Oh great, now I have guilt on top of everything else …
😀
maybe it just wanted to scrub your back for you 😉
Oh yeah, I’m sure that was the plan… LOL
I released two of them into the garden the other day. I’m sure your friend is still terrified. LOL Were you screaming or was it the spider? Seriously, that’s a creepy thing, when you’re in the shower and an uninvited guest shows up.
I always catch them and put them outside. Unfortunately, I wasn’t at my best this go around and was taken off guard … I’m hoping he went back home with stories of the “Screeching Waterfall” never to return again.
