on the hinge of my eyeglass frames…
WHILE I WAS WEARING THEM! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Prolly not this big then…
Heavens, how still were you sitting?
You’ve got me inspecting my glasses thoroughly, Sattua. Jesus!
Oh, yeah? Well, a spider built a web on one of my contact lenses while I was wearing them!*
- Above story may not be true.
A unique opportunity to observe animal behavior! :smack:
There is no worse feeling than driving down the interstate at a safe and sane 75 per, and then seeing a spider sliwly descend on a strand of web from your visor.
…except for when it’s a jumping spider that decides to leap onto your face and start running around.
Gah! Now I’m going to be compulsively wiping my face for the rest of the night.
I wonder how many single vehicle accidents every year are caused by insects?
Not still at all. In fact, I thought something was moving on my glasses, took them off to look at them twice, got up, re-warmed dinner, ate it, returned to my work under the bright light, and then I caught the cheeky pipsqueak. He was summarily punished.
My little brother’s first car accident involved a bug of some sort that flew into his open window and got stuck between his eye and his glasses. He drove off the road and hit a culvert.
Oh, yeah. Well, a spider built a web inside my eye !**
above story is definitely not true.
Years ago, I was riding my motorcycle. Being a safety conscious sort (and also to abide Virginia law) I was wearing a helmet.
No, not a full-face helmet, mind you… a three-quarter goofy-looking helmet that has a plastic face-shield. Gives plenty of room for air-movement about the face so one doesn’t feel suffocated.
Evidently, that open airspace also allows butterfiles to enter.
…a big monarch-type butterfly.
…that landed on my face.
…and covered my eyes so that I could barely see.
…and was held in place by the in-rushing wind.
…while I was driving on Jefferson Avenue in Newport News.
…at about 45 mph
…getting ready to turn left
I’m sure THAT was a sight for others to behold.
Some motorcyclist who suddenly flipped out and started clawing at his face while driving on a major thoroughfare. Then, once stopped, yanked his helmet off and threw it across a parking lot whilst screaming obsceneties.
One night, a spider whose body was about the size of a walnut half-shell hitched a ride to my house by clinging to the front of my wife’s jacket. She never noticed it and it never moved for the whole 45 minute drive. When we got under the porch light, I saw it and flicked it off her jacket before she ever knew it was there.
I still wonder what would have happened had it decided to explore its surroundings while we were zooming down the freeway.
I’m jealous… How come I’ve never had a spider build a web on my glasses? I mean, that would be way cool. I’m not ordinarily one for fashion accessories, but a genuine working spiderweb? How could you pass that up?
…except for when it’s a jumping spider that decides to leap onto your face and start running around and laying eggs in your tear ducts. :eek:
A living art-show artist would probably kill to have a spider making it’s web on a pair of glasses.
You must be a kind gentle soul 
or you must smell so good/bad that you are attracting flies. 
I was driving to work a couple of years ago when a wasp flew into the car. In trying to shoo it out all I managed to do was get it to go down my blouse. I panicked, of course, stopped the car where I was and jumped out and pulled my blouse off! I wasn’t even thinking, I was just in a blind panic to get that wasp out of my shirt.
So if anyone was driving down Empire Central in Dallas a few years ago and saw an overweight middle aged women doing a striptease in the middle of the road…that’s the story behind it.
Oh, my dad has the same story–but the wasp went up his pant leg. He dropped his trousers by the side of the interstate.
And once a hoot-owl flew into his car. While it was moving.
