So, how's YOUR morning been?

[Poll #1900730]


EtA: And yes, this is a common occurrence. Or common enough that I'm more exasperated than surprised when I pull back the shower curtain and find orb-weavers playing a game of morning tag....

I hang out with Keith and Wrenn. Enough said.

[lagilman]

you're comparing Keith and Wrenn to a couple of oversized spiders?

No but it can be used as a baseline for my reputation in fandom. :-)

Good grief. I thought they only hung out in Guatemala. How hot is your bathroom?

[lagilman]

what, orb-weavers? They're all over the east coast - I had one that used to build the most lovely webs outside the front window of my apartment in New Haven.

These are about the size of a silver dollar, and I suspect they overwinter in the eaves outside, and slide in through the bathroom window to grab a drink. I don't mind them (anything that eats mosquitoes is a friend of mine), I just don't want them sharing a shower (or a bed, there are limits) with me.

If I went into the bathroom and saw spiders, they'd hear the screams a block away. I really hate spiders...

[lagilman]

That's how I feel about things with more than 8 legs. Millepedes make me react like a stereotypical cartoon housewife seeing a mouse...

I need more options in your poll. You have cats. "Damnit guys, NOT in the shower!" could reasonably be aimed at them.
