Back in my college days... I was home alone and talking to my boyfriend, who lived about 25 miles away, on the telephone.
I flopped down on my bed and suddenly inches from my face was a giant....
daddy long legs
I screamed. I threw the phone on the floor. I ran outside and sat on the front step
My boyfriend (who knew I was home alone) leaped in his car and must have broken several speed limits and other traffic laws because he was at my house within 20 minutes.
He of course had visions of me being murdered, he was most displeased to ;learn he had risked life and limb to save me froma daddy longlegs...
"It's not even a real spider" he complained
He did go and get it and remove it from the premises though
