[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 427832, member: 47233"] Ooooh you just reminded my of my toilet spider in the last house I lived in. I'd just moved out of a house that had a washing machine spider. It lived under the washing machine, coming out at regular intervals, it just used to stand near the machine for a while then saunter back underneath to wherever it lived. The next house I lived in had a toilet spider. Same thing ... the spider never budged more than 5 inches away from a certain part of the skirting board where it used to scuttle back to. It would sit there when I was having a wee and I'd tell it to close its eyes! I was always conscious I was being watched by these tiny little creatures and that they could move faster than I so I developed a sort of coping strategy which involved me keeping the spider listening while I did all the talking and I used to tell them "OK, you can live there, I won't kill you, but you so much as move past this line here and you're done for! And I swear they understand us because these two never crossed the line. :D Oh and by the way my mother lived with a spider who she used to call 'Horace'. I was massaging her feet one day when the damned thing ran down her leg and landed on my chest! It came from absolutely nowhere. I have never moved so fast in all my life. My mother had had a hip replacement a few months before but I couldn't help throwing her legs in the air while I jumped up screaming and beating my chest like a gorilla. My mother didn't know what had got into me, and just sat there staring at me in disbelief. If she'd know the spider had run down her leg before it landed on me I doubt I'd have been allowed to leave the house to come home! :D [/QUOTE]
