You see a spiderweb, but to a stranger standing 20 feet away it just seems some random guy walking along suddenly freak out for no reason.

I was once riding my bike when a yellowjacket when down my shirt and started stinging my chest. I got a lot of strange looks when I stopped, yelled, ripped my shirt off and started stomping on it.

Just a fun fact, the dance you do after you walk through a spider web is called an arachnoleptic fit.

[–]sposeso 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have done this, got home around midnight because I closed late, went to go through the gate to the backdoor of my house and walked into a spiderweb that was as tall as me (5 feet 8 inches), screamed like I'd just been shot and literally danced all the way around my house to the front door (brain figured there were more spiderwebs in back so RAN to the front door), and danced around until I was naked in the shower. Quite possibly the scariest thing ever. Never found the spider.... and I don't use the backdoor anymore.

[–]pav413 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That had me laughing very hard, but I also feel bad. I too had walked into a web once, only it was with the top of my head, looked up to see the damn spider above me, I think that's why I will have arachnophobia for the rest of my life now.

[–]mollydog21 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I usually try to play it cool, but my area is full of these. Their webs are so thick, you have to wad it up to get it off you, with the added benefit hosting of a spider so big you hear a thump when it lands.

I see these along the coast in Florida (both Tampa and St. Augustine). According to Wikipedia they are also widespread in Central/South America in addition to the Gulf Coast of the US.

I thought the gif was related to the No Doubt song and spent like fifteen minutes trying to rationalize it, and smiling at myself when I thought "he's freaking out about playing the drum part on Rock Band because it was awesome", then came into the comments with a self-assured smile to agree, and now I'm only sad and embarrassed. :(

This happens all the time by my front door. There's these big tall bushes in front of my door and there's always spiderwebs. Inevitably I'll be drunk and stumbling after my roommate (who is much shorter) and he walks under them no problem but I get it right in the face and flip my shit, and everyone else is like wuhh? #tallpeopleproblems

When I was about 5 years old I was running through a field when I tripped and fell. My face went right through a spider web and one of these was stuck to the bottom of my chin.

That could work, but if the web is quite wide, after tearing the middle with a stick, the sides could still hit me in the face. If I sense it with my arm, I can stop in my tracks before this happens.

The sad thing is, eons ago the spiders forged an alliance with us humans: we let them be, and they swore to take care of the mosquitos for us. Too bad we humans never upheld that alliance; at some point we treated them like they were some lowly creatures and even ravaged their homes consistently.

Arachnospasm

noun

  1. a sudden, abnormal, involuntary muscular contraction brought on by the accidental passing through of a spiderweb (occupied or abandoned), usually resulting in hopeless flailing in attempts to rid yourself of the NOPENOPENOPE that may or may not be in your hair, shirt, or ear-hole.
