  1. Years ago I was driving, my wife in the passenger seat, kids in the back. My wife screams and try’s to jump from her seat. Scares the heck out of me. Not knowing what the trouble I come to a quick stop, good thing for seat belts, only to find out a spider had dropped down from behind her visor. And she got mad at me for overreacting. Jeez, damn spiders.

  2. The other day I saw a good-sized wasp go into the door frame of a truck near me in traffic, couldn’t get the driver’s attention before the light changed. More than once I’ve opened the door of my truck to find one of those small, slimy frogs in the door jamb.

  3. My dog (God rest his soul) used to go after flies and bees in the house. He would focus like a laser beam when attacking his prey, and furniture or people in the way be damned. I sure miss him.

  4. I picked up a weasel I hit with my car once. It “thought” it was dead. Next thing I know, it crawled into my lap. Generally, you shouldn’t mess with a weasel. Fortunately it was physically compromised, and didn’t tear me apart. And I didn’t wreck the car.

  6. @Sarthurk, Stopped and picked up a red fox once, he was a little gamy.
    Got stopped at a rail crossing, took a looong time for it to clear, was getting intense.
    Rolled the windows down for some relief, just then the guy in front of me got out of his truck and decided he wanted to chat.
    He didn’t ask, I didn’t say, he didn’t stay long.
    Bet he still tells his side of the story.
    Matters worse, the hair was loose, not worth skinning.
