Walked into any good spiders webs today !

Post by krussel »

For the past couple of weeks all i seem to be doing is walking up pathways straight into spiders webs !!!!

In a certain light they are impossible to see and the trouble is you normally get the bloody spider as well :left:

Had one across the face last sat with the spider ending up on my ear :shock: The web took ages to wipe of my specs, it was like a kind of glue :confused
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Its not so much the walking into the spiders web, its the silly dance after, when your trying to get it off, or avoid them in the first place.

Strangely enough, the spider induced mummification extravanganza has yet to commence down this way, and it's usually September when the little bleeders try to snare you. Maybe we've missed it. :pray

Happens to me a lot, especially in gardens where people don't bother to trim their bushes, as it were.

One estate on my round is like spider city! Not good for an arachnophobic! Terrified of the buggars! :oops:

I call it stripey spider september and I hate it! I walk up drives with letters flapping infront of me trying to break them before they get me. The spiders look evil. :wave

I just want to say about this whole thread

<puke>

This is one part of the job I really don't miss. I used to walk with the mail held up at eye level to break the webs before I got a face full. If there was a spider in the way, I had to seriously consider endorsing their mail! <shudders>

I have one house on my round that has a long path to the front door flanked by three separate conifer "archways" ... I feel like Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark except I don't recall him walking through the tunnel flapping a handful of mail in front of his face like a demented lunatic :oops:
