living with a spider in my bathroom: a memoir

[molarbear]

a couple months ago I noticed a tiny spider in the bathroom by the water shutoff (little area between the toilet/shower) at the time, I was like "man....there's been a lot of little flying things in the house, maybe it wouldn't hurt to keep it around."

So, like any other completely sane and normal person, I said out loud "Alright spider, as long as you stay over in that corner I will leave you alone."

FF to today, there is now a small pile of 7 dead roly polys underneath its' web, and zero flying things have been seen in the area.

Sounds like he might be to low to be useful for flying shit. I have a thin strip of fly paper in the corner of my bathroom.  Since there s light that usually on in there, flying shit gravitates to it at night and usually gets stuck then I replace it.  OK flies are a fucking bitch.

They say mosquitoes are bad here but I'm from the swamp...they literally don't bite me or i'm just immune to the poison that causes the itching.

Wasps (or whatever flying menace these are outside) are kinda being a pest this year but it's likely because I have a nest in my garage....I don't go out there so they can have it.

Yeah I have a nice roommate spider in the corner of my patio door. As long as we keep out of each other's way, we're cool.

I'm going to continue to pretend it's useful for everything at this point because it's gotten too big to kill by normal means

No one judge, this tiny corner hasn't been vacuumed since the spider took up residence (I didn't want to accidentally murder it.... but now I think it may be the best way to remove it.)

cleaning up today. in the sewing room, by the chair, a jumpy spider was slowly walking, i thought i accidently hit, but then it jumped...

so i had to vacuum around his jumping back and forth. 

entitled little arse.
