Terrified neighbours call police to 'domestic dispute' - but find man alone screaming at SPIDER
Mirror [UK] ^ | 26 Nov 2015 | Ruth Halkon

Terrified neighbours phoned the police after hearing a woman screaming hysterically and a man yelling: “I’m going to kill you”.

But when officers arrived at the address they discovered the flat's sole occupant had been trying to catch a SPIDER .

The shamefaced man admitted he had been shouting death threats at the arachnid and had been the person behind the high pitched screaming.

According to New South Wales police in Australia, they received multiple calls about the sound of crashing furniture and a man screaming: “I’m going to kill you, you're dead! Die Die!!”.

The bronze serpent prefigured Christ in the Old Testament.

Funny how everything comes full circle, isn’t it?

I don't like clowns either. When I was about 6 my parents took me to the circus. A clown came up and offered me a bunch of paper flowers. I reached for the flowers but the beautiful flowers ended up in the clowns hand and I had a bunch of straws in mine.

It made me mad so I hit him in the face with my cotton candy. That made him mad because it stuck to his face and messed up his makeup!

I watched him leave the arena and turn and give me a dirty look!

I love that old memory!

I would hope not.

One summer we had some kind of tiny Kamikaze ‘waspsy’ things in the smokehouse.

Looked just like Yellowjackets but were tiny and had far more black than yellow.

They hated everything that moved.

Hubby had to zap them, because of the dogs and goats.

Sad but there was no reason for them to attack *everything*.

I lived in an old farm house years ago...laundry was in basement (nothing else)...one day noticed a daddy long legs spider in a Web above washer...the next thing I know there are gobs of baby spiders there...I let them live...they were so cute...course if they went outside the sprays for the orchard likely killed them.

I go to herp shows all the time.

You’d be amazed by what people have riding around on their shoulders.

;D

I like finding pseudo-scorpions around the house, once in a while.

Cute little things...but tiny.

Most of the spiders here are Wolf Spiders but I kill them anyway. I have killed several Brown Recluse but not since the lizards moved in here in force. I save the Recluse bodies to ask the exterminator what they were and he confirmed it.

We built a house out in the woods on a creek many years ago. Shortly after moving in I found Black Widows all over the place. I killed them off and never found another one. We lived there for 16 years.

I was ambivalent towards clowns until I watched “IT”.

Yet I still like Tim Curry.

Go figure.

My house is an almost 300 year old log house.

*Totally* not sealed, at all.

Everything wanders in, at some point.

I never have to “decorate” for Halloween.

;D

Oh, screw those things.

They kill people, dogs, livestock.

They’re not really gonna be on my welcome list, if they ever get up this way.

Nope, western MD and we sure have not had any droughts.

In fact, it’s “monsoon season” from February to late May.

Maybe too much rain?

I sure miss them, though.
