“Irish” spider

[fbhjr]

Back in 96 when my wife and I were in Ireland, I came out of the shower at
the B&B we were at and saw a spider that looked as big as my hand on the
toilet.
I was mean and knocked it in and flushed it.  It tried swimming against the
current to climb out, so it hit it with toilet paper and sent it down.
When my wife asked what was going on (it took a couple of flushes to get it
away) I explained.  She told me that it couldn’t have been as big as I
thought.  Spiders just look bigger when your naked.
As we closed up our suit case a short while later, another spider of
similar size jumped up on it right in front of her.
She was not naked, but agreed it was still quite large.
(I know it wasn’t the same spider because it wasn’t wet…)

Anyhow, this morning I came out of the shower and found a spider as big as
the head of my toothbrush sitting in the toothbrush pile for quick size
comparison.
Being a somewhat larger bathroom then the very small one in Ireland, I
didn’t feel immediately worried by it and got some tuppaware to hold it.


OK, maybe this one did seem larger when I was naked.  I still left it out
in the parking lot when I went to work.

That's the size of my thumb BTW for scale.
You were very nice to dump zir arachnid outside

True fax - bugs *are* bigger when you're nekkid!

So, do they get smaller as you get dressed?
Is the thing to do, when confronted by a big bug, put on a sweater?
