I just wanted to share this story of my misfortune. I used to struggle HORRIBLY with a fear of spiders, but it’s gotten better. Honestly joining this sub has helped me a lot. But what’s happened to me TWICE now has really set me back a bit 😅
Awhile ago, I finished my shower and wrapped my hair up with a towel. I felt something hard squish up against the back of my neck, and lo and behold a ginormous (~1” long) spider falls out of my hair into the tub with me. I’m fine with spiders in my general vicinity, but knowing a huge one was in my towel and then in my HAIR really sent me into a spiral. I cried afterwards lol.
Since then I VIGOROUSLY shake my towels out before I use them and GOOD THING I DOOOO because a couple of days ago, I shook out my hair towel and ANOTHER spider fell out of my towel into the tub with me. I’m at the point now where I physically cringe while using towels after my shower because I am convinced there is a spider in them 😭 why has this happened TWICE now
Also I’d love an ID on the spider that was in my towel the other day (sorry for the bad photo I was kind of freaking out). To me it either looked like a small wolf spider or a large grass spider but I struggle to tell the difference. I’m in Michigan USA.
Anyways I just wanted to share my bad luck on here. I wish I could tell my spider friends that I’m perfectly fine living in harmony with them but just to please stay OUT of my hair towels lol 😭
