Instant Heart Attack

[aceman387]

The diverter on my tub spout sticks sometimes and doesn't fall all the way back down from the previous shower the morning before . Nothing like stepping in the tub half asleep and having that cold water blast you in your upper torso and face the instant you turn the valve on. This would be a good test to determine how healthy ones heart is. It sure got the expletives flying early this morning   I think the only thing worse is sliding the shower curtain back to step in and seeing one of those wolf spiders staring at you in the bottom of the tub.

Gives a whole new meaning to the expression good morning.

For some reason nothing makes me more angry, as quickly, as unexpected cold water.

My diverter has to be turned manually.  I NEVER forget to do it because I hate the surprise cold blast you mentioned.  But my old girlfriend NEVER turned it back, so I still ended up getting a cold blast if I forgot to check.

 

As for the wolf spiders...  they scare the bejesus out of me.  Here's one that was on my burn barrel one morning:

 

 

And a smaller one that was sneaking down my hallway:

I occasionally see them in my garage in PA. I love to take my grill starter torch & light them up.

I will usually stomp a small wolf spider when i see them in the house because i know how big they can become. When i encounter an adult one i usually drop the shoe and slowly walk backwards with my hands up.

One time, when I was, like, 14, I woke up in the middle of the night with a tickly feeling on my chest that I figured was the blanket catching my virgin chest hair. I laid there for a minute trying to go back to sleep when I felt a DEFINITE crawling across my chest, which prompted a frantic gorilla chest pound. I was so tired that I immediately went back to sleep and forgot the whole incident until the morning when I threw the blanket back and pulled off a hairy, three-inch-long spider leg from my blanket. I said, "huh..."

Well at least you spotted the spider before you got in the shower with it.

Snakes lizards bugs and small critters I don't mind but spiders especially big ones I destroy them lol

I had something similar happen to me last summer.I was sleeping and i kept feeling something slowly crawling up the hairs on my arm.I jumped out of bed and turned the light on and found that a tick had somehow got under the covers and  was trying to attach to me.
