A little morning excitement, a SPIDER crawled OUT of my Keyboard WHILE I WAS TYPING!!!

Freaked me out, but then I regained my composure and won the battle.

A little compressed air forced it out, then blew it off the keyboard onto the desk where its life ended.

Actually, although I have no problem with many animals that scare people (snakes,lizards, frogs etc) I'm not fond of spiders and probably would have done something similar...

3. What kind was it?

Was it a jumping kind?

I get those in my keyboard every so often in the morning.

They like the warmth

6. Most likely their jump will be in a direction away from you

Spiders don't like people

But yeah, they can jump

On a related note, in Thailand we had Scorpions that could jump - and the scary thing was the smaller the scorpion, the more painful (or deadly) the sting

Remember Garfield's reactions to spiders? Yeah, well, that's me.

Your post has got me looking funny at my keyboard now.

Like my nerves aren't shot enough with the news as it is.

16. I have a spider vacuume. You just turn it on, suck up the little critters and

then release them outside.
