Spiders and Computer Monitors - Mother loving Dancing Daddy Longlegs

[MegaScientifical]

Just a minute or two ago, as I was typing stuff into my computer, I suddenly noticed something on the right side of my monitor... It was crawling... It was a huge loving Daddy Longlegs spider. Freaked me out, totally unexpected. I held back, staring at it thinking "How do we never notice spiders do this?" when it started... Just waving it's front two legs in a weird way. It wasn't like it was trying to crawl around... It was like it was loving taunting me and dancing. Weird stuff. Right after it stopped 'dancing,' it crawled back down ad started walking under the monitor, whereas I used my relatively well lungs to blow the thing off the back of the desk somewhere.

As I pointed out in the above paragraph: How do spiders ALWAYS loving do this and manage to freak some of us out from just being so damn unexpected? Why is is mainly spiders who get to do this? How are they so damn stealthy? Damn it.

Daddy longlegs aren't spiders, they're just a type of arachnids.
I know what you mean.
Spiders make me want to loving set my house on fire to purge them.

I mean, I swear... I'll admit, maybe it was trying to crawl around. This desk has like a center divider thing the monitor is right up against, and it might have been trying to move around the other side, but it ended up waving them in the air away from the other side like a taunting dance before wandering away under my monitor...

Actually, it might be pissed because I swatted at the spider by my surge protector the other day. It was blocking my phone charger (I gotta keep this thing on for my brother and being at school...).

I love daddy longlegs. I let them crawl up my arm before I let them outside.

Yeah, I dislike most arachnids for this king of movement
That and the fact that they make me want to get a flamethrower

I took a shower once.

To my surprise there was a spiderweb and spider in it. After getting it down the drain, I came to realize there were three more in there with me. It's safe to say that was the most uncomfortable shower I ever took.
