A Big Bad Spider Crawled On Me During a Staff Meeting…

You never really know what a day might bring, but some days like to add a little extra suspense, a pinch of drama, and a whole lot of “nope!” That was my day when the spider decided to make its grand entrance.

Picture this—I was minding my own business, enjoying life as one does, when out of nowhere, I felt the tiniest, most suspicious tickle on my arm. At first, I assumed it was a strand of hair or some dust blown by the wind. But no. This was no ordinary tickle. This was the crawl of doom.

When I looked down, there it was. A spider. And not just any spider, my friends… this was a BIG BAD SPIDER. You know the kind. The ones that look like they just came straight from auditioning for the lead role in a horror movie. Its legs stretched out like it owned the place, and I could swear it was giving me a smug look, as if to say, “Nice arm, mind if I sit for a while?”

The Moment of Realization

Now, I don’t consider myself particularly afraid of spiders. I’ve seen them in corners and ceilings, and we had a deal—I don’t bother them, they don’t bother me. But this spider? It broke the deal. It invaded my personal space.

I froze. Time seemed to slow down as every possible scenario played out in my head. Should I scream like a banshee? Flick it away and risk angering it? Or just accept my fate and prepare to cohabitate with my new spider overlord? Naturally, I did the most rational thing anyone in my position would do—I danced.

The Spider Shuffle

Yes, it was a dance that involved flailing, jumping, and possibly some high-pitched squealing (I’d like to think I invented a whole new genre of interpretive dance). The spider, clearly unimpressed with my moves, decided to leap off in search of safer, less dramatic terrain, which I was more than happy to provide.

When it finally skittered away, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. How does such a small creature hold such power over us? I mean, really, it’s just a tiny arachnid looking for a little adventure. But in that moment, it felt like I had just survived the Spiderpocalypse.

Relive the Drama

Luckily, I wasn’t alone in this eight-legged adventure. I captured the whole incident on video (because of course I did!) so that you, too, can relive the terror, the surprise, and yes, the sheer ridiculousness of a big bad spider making its move. Check out the video here to see the chaos unfold: Watch it now!
