That's nothing. I ride mountain bike and last weekend I rode thru a spider web. I rode 40 feet before I could stop with a banana spider the size of my hand ON MY FUCKING FACE! When I brushed it off I felt it fighting back. It's web was orange and super sticky and covering my entire body. I was immediately done for the day.
I've used a French Press for years. For those of you that are familiar with them, you'll know that the occasional chunk of grounds will make it into the cup.
No big deal. I usually chew and swallow them.
All that so I could tell you this: One day the grounds I chewed felt a little funny, so I spit them out only to find the remains of a fully-cooked and partially mangled Wolf spider in my hand (nowhere near the size of the one in the picture).
My oldest son, who is standing behind me as I write this is jokingly saying "It was delicious". It wasn't.
Im gagging reading that. I was in NYC years ago and bought a small sealed pack of shelled peanuts.
So I'm dumping them in my mouth and chewing while walking and I get a bit that was super chewey.
I spit it into my hand and it was about a half inch piece of rat with short brown fur! Luckily the salt had cured it. I threw up until I was weak and could barely walk!
I've had a nice big bite of cockroach once in Japan. Fucking rice-niggers in the on-base food court didn't notice one of the ever-present things made it into my wrap.
Oh oh rice nigger .. in Hawaii my mom was going to buy us some food from some weird hut thing . So we are standing there waiting and our mom whisks us away. We didn't know what happened but she was pissed.
Later she told my dad that she didn't want to live there anymore that those people are disgusting ... Yeah so the guy apparently spit in the wok he was heating up. Presumably to see if it was hot enough yet.
I used a french press for years before I quit caffeine, and never had any chunks of grounds get into my coffee.
Are you sure you're using it right and/or your french press isn't shit? It sounds like the mesh or the coil-y part isn't doing it's job if you're ever eating any coffee grounds.
Had a big grey hairy one try attacking me in the shower once. Thank fuck the water pressure was too much for it and it went down the drain. Angry little bugger.
when I was really young I put on a gumboot without shaking it first. Felt a tickle on my ear and brushed off a massive huntsman (can bite no poison) and saw another one half way up my leg. Spent the next 5 years in therapy (not really).
that's a hunstman spider in aus, it's our most common big spider which invades our homes and they are just as active during the winter. they're always about the size shown in the pic, however for some reason some of them can reach gigantic bird eating prey spider size. it's rare though, but fuck me they are terrifying. and they are fast and jump.

I don't miss living down south and checking my bedding often for black widows. One time I hadn't made my bed in over a week and went to make it and found a huge one under my pillow.

More likely because we weren't "locals"
