Lions and tigers and… spiders! Oh my!
I woke up this morning and went through my usual motions: check facebook, check myspace, check email, scour craigslist for jobs. The doorbell rang, and I went to go see who it was. It was UPS, delivering a package. I accepted it, and checked the mailbox, just in case. The mail never comes this early in the afternoon, but maybe something might’ve gotten stuck from yesterday or something.
To my horror, the mailbox was not completely empty. Sitting at the bottom in its little webby nest was a particularly large wolf spider. I closed the mailbox, came back inside, and proceeded to flip the fuck out. What if the mailman stuck the mail in there, and crushed the spider? There would be spider guts all over the mail. *yegch* Or if it didn’t get squashed, it might climb onto/into the mail and attack me when I went to bring the mail in. I simply couldn’t let this happen. So I wrote the following note and attached it (quite securely, with lots of tape) to the front of the mailbox:
I just hope he isn’t a dick about it. *keeps fingers crossed!*

xDDD Here’s hoping he’d actually kill it before sticking the mail in…
All it takes is a little scoop & gently placement to get it on the grass. Maybe even a nudge… but of all the bugs spiders are the best, cause they kill all the gross ones in the area. So hopefully someone saveded it… But if i were a mailman and saw that note A) my heart would have melted cause it’s adorable B) I would have removed the spider the the safest of manors…
pieces
He’s going to leave it in the mailbox. It’s against the law for him to leave it anywhere else.
yeah..that is an adorable letter.. if the mailbox isn’t removable I hope the mailman scoops it out with something ..hope you are having a good day . ..but where are the lions and tigers :{ ?? lol
Gee, I guess since he left it on the newspaper hooks directly under the mailbox, I should report him?
omg
good luck with that one
Too funny, awww thank god i dont have to get my mail <3
I’m assuming that snarky comment was directed at me? No need for the hostility. I was just stating a fact.
And I don’t understand why you have to be negative all the time.
I wasn’t really being negative, but ok…?
That note was hilarious! Lol!
The note is quite funny.
Then again, why not asked someone to clear the spider or move it to a “new home”? 
pray that someone gets that spider out.
That letter is too funny. Did he do as you asked?
Ugh, that’s terrible! I hate spiders! XP
I hope it worked. XD If I were the mailperson, I would laugh when I saw that. If there was a spider in your mailbox, I wouldn’t want to be opening it anyway. No way, no how. XP
On a completely unrelated note, this layout is REALLY, REALLY CUTE!
LOL that note is WIN!
I’d fill the post box up with water to kill it… EWWWWW SPIDERZ!?
You = Bigger than a Spider (.. I should hope)
You = Totally capable of kicking said spider’s ass.
Right?
Go show that asshole spider whose boss.
