I'm sure you can imagine my reaction. Mid sentence to Dave, I stopped what I was saying, screeched, slinked down into a crouching position, and ran away. I had actually walked under that thing, it was literally right above our door, waiting, lurking.....
I couldn't even get the word "spider" out to Dave, I just pointed and made some concerning noises of alarm. He could tell by the panic in my screech that it must be bug related. And was it ever! That is honestly the biggest spider that I have ever seen in person. Had I known that spiders like that existed here, I'm not sure that I would have moved here haha. It actually had fur. And it's legs were so long and finger like...ugh, I shudder just thinking about it.
Dave wanted to get rid of it, but I was afraid it would try to eat him and he'd die, and then I'd be left alone with the spider. So, we left it there and went out for the evening, hoping it would be above someone elses apartment door when we got back. However, several hours later when we returned, it was still above our apartment door. I guess it liked us
Knowing I would never fall asleep that night, with visions of spiders invading our apartment, Dave bravely went to battle the spider armed only with a broom and dustpan. Now, I wasn't there to witness what happened, seeing as I was busy curled up in the fetal position under the blankets on our bed, but Dave insists that he bravely knocked the spider down from the wall and shooed it , as it quickly scurried, out of the back door of the apartment building. He also says that the spider turned back and hissed at him as it was exiting, but I'm not so sure I believe that part of the story.
Thankfully, I was able to fall asleep that night without too many nightmares about spiders invading our home. However, I'm on constant spider lookout now whenever I enter the hallway. Sometimes it's good to have a guy around, especially when giant man eating spiders are lurking above your apartment door.
Until next time...
Au revoir
