    I recently walked through a doorway behind a person of very much similar tallness and still got hit with the full frontal spiderwebs. This, of course, was impossible to explain to anyone nearby on account of the physics not adding up

    When my wife and I were on honeymoon, we were staying in a “hobbit hole” earth sheltered rental in southern Illinois. It was all done up like the shire, nice gardens outside and inside had some little lotr knick knacks. Also had the lotr+hobbit movies on blue ray. One day we were killing time watching the Hobbit, I forget which one, but it was the one with the giant spiders. Bilbo kept walking into the webs and shit, it was very scary, whatever.

    In the early afternoon we left to go on a hike, my wife found a little hiking trail just down the road from us. We start on the trail, and like I have never seen so many spiders and webs as I did on this path. Like I grew up playing in the woods with my cousins in a deep rural part of PA. I’m no stranger to it, we go hiking pretty often at nature preserves. But this was ridiculous. I was like walking ahead, waving a stick knocking down the thick webs in front of us, my wife walking behind me and frantically brushing spiders off my shoulders, back and legs. We didn’t make it very far along the path, believe it or not.

    Literally me. I hate when this happens and I do the icky dance because one time I walked thru a web and found a HUGE spider on me. So every time it happens I assume a spider is on me and freak out for a couple of minutes swatting at my clothes and dancing around and I’ve even stripped down and checked my clothes. It’s kind of sad how afraid I am of spiders like it’s a primordial fear or something.

    I don’t like spiders and snakes but that ain’t what it takes to luv me.
