I was very happy in my little flat which had a bedroom a living room a kitchen and a bathroom. All what I needed.
One night I woke up switched on the light and saw a very big spider just sitting besides my slippers. I had never seen such a monster ! I got hysterical and didn't know what to do, I hate spiders, they are just so disgusting and I feared them. I got slowly out of my bed, made a big tour around the slippers and the spider, tiptoed into the kitchen, took my vacuum cleaner approached slippers and spider and put it on. The spider was quickly absorbed, but I didn't dare to switch off the vacuum cleaner I thought the spider would creep out again. I sat on my chair and waited leaving the vacuum cleaner on. I was so afraid it would come out again. After at least half an hour, I took the vacuum cleaner into the bathroom, closed the door and rolled up a blanket and put it on the bottom of the door. Then I returned to bed, still thinking the spider would come and creep on my bed.
The next morning there was nothing in the bathroom and I put the vacuum cleaner away before I went off for work.
Just when I left my flat I met my neighbor who lived above me and who was an old witch.
She was very angry and told me that she hadn't slept all night because I had done my cleaning in the night and on top with a vacuum cleaner. I please should clean during the day and not in the middle of the night !
I got the message, but did a spider get the message ??

Another of your amusing stories about your past.
ReplyDeleteFunny story. I have always thought the battering and heat from the vacuum cleaner will kill the spider, but I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteI can just picture you sitting there next to the vacuum - it's something I would have done when I was younger!;
ReplyDeleteFortunately I am not scared of spiders. If they are in my way, I might just put a shoe on it sending it to the eternal fly catching skies, but I might also take a glass and bit of cardboard, catch it and release it. And my uncle loves his spiders: they eat all the flies and mosquitos during the summer!!
ReplyDeleteThe spider got you into trouble :) I don't mind spiders so much but I hate roaches.
ReplyDeleteOh my. You certainly don't want to visit my basement. The spiders and I have an agreement that they can share that part of my home.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about spiders is they will eat the other bugs! I am not a huge fan either but I loved your story. You share the best stories of your life. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteA good story! I like bugs but not in my house. We get spiders and lady beetles in our Oregon RV and I am glad it has a built in vacuum system so it's quick to get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteI imagine spider lived and went on to produce the next generation
ReplyDeleteI also detest spiders
Oh, boy, anything with eight or more legs rises to the top of my "creepy/avoid at all costs list" Enjoyed your post !!!
