You've heard of Snakes on a Plane?
Well, I've got spiders in my car!
I was doing some gardening over the weekend and had loads of clippings to take to the recycle park. With reservations, I put some of the bags into my back seat - afraid that wildlife would end up making a home there but hoping the 15 minute journey would be too short a time.
Alas! Already I've met 4 little arachnids. Those of you who know me know I have a deep fear of spiders. Fortunately the four I met were tiny creatures so with the help of tissues, maps and other rubbish in my car, I was able to remove them.
My only fear - how many are left?

Poor Valpot, that's horrible. I've spiders living in my wing mirror and once a tiny spider dangled down on a thread in front of my face and said hi as I was driving. I had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted. My worst spider in the car story is one you know. When I borrowed Pinky's car one morning I opened the driver's door and a spider had spun a magnificent web over the entire door area and was sitting in the middle waiting to nab some human.
I live in dread of that happening to me! Yuck!
Even a spider swinging on a thread in front of my face would be enough to make me crash the car! I don't have your nerves of steel.
Fortunately no new sightings since I wrote the post so hopefully the worst is over! :)
I was warned about spiders in the car after seeing a programme about car accidents in Australia being caused by huge, but harmless spiders alarming people in their cars while driving.
You mentioned Snakes on a plane, and we know about zombies on a plane but what about ZOMBIES IN A CAR! Let's both write stories about that! :D

We want to know.
The morning was cool and wet. A typical August day in the foothills of the Dublin mountains. Valpot rose relatively early, ate her ant infested cornflakes and went out to the car. She had friends to meet and a library to visit. She shivered a little in the cold wind that stole across the garden. She had cut down so much greenery that the wind now moved freely in front of the house. She opened the door of her car and prepared to get in. The noise of a dog barking distracted her from seeing the giant spider web spun across the driver's seat. She sat down and was ensnared. Struggling to free herself only alerted the attention of the large female nissan spider that waited for her prey in the back seat. She scuttled down her line and subdued Valpot with a nip of paralysing venom to the neck. Unable to move, Valpot watched helplessly as the spider wound her in silk, cocooning her, and dragged her into the back seat where her egg sac lay waiting. There would be enough of Valpot to go around for the spider and her legion of children, still she rebuilt her web to catch more. Perhaps Docpot or Pinky would wander into the trap. Valpot, terrified and immobile in the car that had become her coffin had only one thought: 'How can I update my blog now?'
