I'm in the shower, rinsing shampoo out of my hair. Open my eyes and see a spider half an inch from my foot. Spent the next 30 seconds dancing madly, trying to get away from it, shrieking the entire time. Footsteps running down the hall, then some banging on the bathroom door. "Mom? MOM!! Are you okay?? What happened?!?!!? MOM?!?!?!" Then I realize the spider is simply a wadded-up length of hair, being bandied about by the water currents in the shower. Here's the bad part - I was so frazzled, I forgot to lie. They're STILL rolling on the floor, hooting and hollering.

Sounds like something I would do!

I would have done the same.

I had a fright many years ago - we had a bath mat with Mickey Mouse on it and from the angle I saw it with a head and eye full of shampoo it looked like mens feet. And hubby was away at the time. I just about died in the shower.

Well look on the bright side...at least you didn't slip and fall. I had kind of a reverse discovery. I thought I saw a thread with fuzz dangling from the clothes in the closet. I grabbed it to throw it in the trash....a big spider. Are you totally grossed out now?

I think I have done the same thing - except my spider was just a wad of quilting thread that followed me.

At least you were able to see it even if you couldn't identify it.. I don't see crap without my glasses..

bet they'll think about everytime they get in the shower. Keeps the blood pressure down. My husband installed a few years back a pull down stairs for the attic. He attached a string like the instructions showed. I told him he needed to make it long enough for me to reach. He has very little hair any more. Few days after he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. About 2:00 a.m. he walked into that string and started whoopin'and a hollerin' to "get it off me, get it off me. Of course the dogs started out and I jumped up out of bed and turned the light on to see what was on him. He nearly knocked him self out smacking his own head. The look of absolute terror on his face. Dogs barking and a very heavy knock on the door; yep, the police were ready to burst in and the dogs were still barking. The neighbors thought it was a domestic disturbance going on. We assured the police and showed them there was nothing but a string in the way of his bald head. That next morning he installed a screw hook into a dowel rod end and the stair door. We ended up laughing most of the night and i'm sure the police did too!
