Man, killin' spiders is bad $$ luck.
And while faeryes seem unlikely, you still don't want bad money luck.
adrian's solution would be to spray the rearview mirror for about thirty seconds with highly-toxic-to-humans spider-killin' spray and then come back in the house lookin' a little pale
try that, maybe
Canned air. Like for cleaning food out of keyboards. Yeah! Wouldn't that work?
...then the spider would be propelled outward...possibly onto YOU!
Dude, Supersoaker. Seriously.
if it's a female spider tell it you find it attractive and want to take it out on a date sometime...
(p.s., i'm sorry. the joke was there and i had to make it)
"Say, baby, you lookin' fine. How about you show me your pedipalps, I been wonderin' what those are."
"magickal faeriyes"
way to get every possible spelling all in both words.
I am having to agree with age's suggestion of super spider killin' spray.
you gotta let it keep its web so it catches a fly so it comes outta the mirror to eat it.
So it comes outta the mirror and straight into my nightmares, maybe
I will look into the purchase of spider-killing spray, not just for this but for all subsequent car-exterior-related spider problems.
I miss Jon and spiders already...his high-pitched screams of terror...his running away from them...ah, the memories.
Now I'm thinking of Meatwad's "immaculate conception". Jon, don't let that happen to YOU.
You know, at my boyfriend's house the spiders descend from the trees at night and attack your car -- I learned the hard way that is not a place to keep your sunroof open overnight. The morning walk to your car is like a walk in a creepy horror movie basement.
Are you certain that the spider is located in the window and not just dropping out of the trees and building a new place overnight? Everynight? Cos... damn, he's dilligent.
Alyssa, I know exactly what it is you speak of, and this is actually part of the reason why I don't like parking under trees.
The other reason is that if it happens to rain, parking under a tree makes your car unbelievably filthy.
would you really rather know there's a spider carcas permanently behind your mirror, or know it's been fully exterminated?
Spiders are gross.
Fight it, Jon, but don't let it live.
1) You used the word pedipalps and have won a massive award in my heart. Seriously. You know how to woo a woman who studies Chelicerates.
2) Killing spiders is bad luck. I'm a scientist. I know these things.
3) Don't you know that the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again (after the rain)? Listen and learn.
4) I suggest something narrow and poky to tease it out. Or just cope with the webs. Spiders won't stay in the same place for long if they don't catch any food.
Basically I am terrified that, being unsatisfied, it will find a way to move inside my car and reveal itself at an inopportune moment while I'm driving down the highway, causing me to attempt to kill/avoid it, thereby running my car off the road and dying in a white-hot blossom of fire and mangled steel.
Jon, the other possibility is to convince yourself that the cobweb is ALL IN YOUR MIND. You can, in fact, do this with every thing/person/fact/occurence that might otherwise cause you stress and discomfort. Just keep telling yourself none of it exists.
Have you tried driving your car off a cliff into the ocean while bailing out at the last moment? It's flashy but it does the trick, you can also stage your own death at the same time, thusly killing two birds and one spider with one stone.
I find that it makes a wonderful joke to your friends
Hang a tiny spider effigy from your mirror to let him know he (or she) is not welcome.
This goes along with my mother's slug removal method of spearing them with bamboo skewers and then leaving them there as a warning to the others.
i'm pretty sure that foul ole ron has the new best idea
you can have my car til i get back.. it's basically the same!
don't use spider-killin' spray on your car, you'll melt it.
don't kill the spider, just let it be. it'll move out in a while. hell, I let a couple of spiders live *inside* my car until they got bored and left. One had a web built into the empty space in the dashboard below the stereo.
