So I just had a pow wow with a spider, no idea what one, it was dark and as if I had a torch out, in one had was a snip and in the other was a bag, I almost walked straight face first into it as it decided the best place for a web was between an open gate leading to my front yard at eye level.


Go figure.


So, I ask WTF it is doing there, gust of wind happens and spidy goes "weeeee" as it swings side by side since the web isn't complete, once it stops I tell it to move its fat arse as I need to snip flowers behind it FFS, it continues building said web as you know, it's a spider as if it comprehends English. In my infinite wisdom of I'm going to bed soon I am tired AF, I ditch the bag in a pocket, lookit some large weeds, snip them as "eh I kneed this coming in, SCREW YOU I HAVE A BLADE!" walk inside, grab a spray, walk back out with now snip + spray and promptly go to spray the spider.


Wind gust happens at this moment.

Wind gust is blowing to my direction.

Screw you wind gust.


So I got him and myself (I washed my arms) spidey goes to run back to the solid gate as opposed to the open one, he stops just before, I like to think questioning if he wants to be impaled on the ornate instances of said gate or not, goes back along its unfinished web it was suspending from, gets to the middle again and descends to the ground.


Spinning.

Always spinning.

Spinning in a circle on his web strand.


He meets the ground, I have overgrown things as stolen mower and I CBF paying for a gardener, spidey starts freaking TF out (success!) only I'm in sandals, it's dark outside, I'm the only warm blooded thing it could maybe see and run to, so I retreat to my front porch which is under light so I could hassan chop it should it bum rush me.


It didn't, I actually have NFI where it went off to die, birds can pick it up tomorrow for all I care, anyway, gave it a second, went to walk back out to the front to snip those flowers impeding a path (there were 4 with big arse purple flowers) and almost face to face with that web as a FU.


Thankfully I notice it since it bunched in an area all "WTF?" take my snip as it's longer handle and just wave it around, up, down, left, right, any other cardinal direction in 4D chess to annex a queen. Snip the flowers, they drop, "eh, I'll pick this up tomorrow, maybe..." walk back in, after washing arms, sat down here, saw a gnat on the wall, palm struck said gnat as cleaning is easier than catching it, washed hand after cleaning the wall, typed this.


Can I just say, I love nature, always full of surprises, and sorry unknown spider, you'd have been fine if you weren't stupid and went in literally any other direction. It's your own fault you got gassed and I demoed your home and hunting ground.
