…And Jumps From Moving Car.
NBC Philadelphia- When a northern Indiana woman noticed a spider on her shoulder, she allegedly jumped out of the vehicle she was driving, leading to a crash that injured her 9-year-old son, police said.
The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department said 35-year-old Angela K. Kipp, of Syracuse, was backing her vehicle from a driveway when she discovered a spider on her shoulder and jumped out. more here
SNIP: Unless the spider was THIS BIG… There’s no excuse for doing what she did.
She should lose her drivers license and probably her kid.
What the heck, man. Swish and flick, it’s gone. What an eejit.
Wow! Some people…
Riding my motorcycle one day, a hornet flew up into my helmet. That sucker stung me seven times before I managed to pull off the road, reach inside my helmet and squeeze the life out of him with my bare fingers.
Please spare me the excuses of psychological trauma that affects people who suffer from phobias. Deal with it, or be a slave to your fears for the rest of your life.
Her 9-year-old kid has way more sense than she does. Geesh.
I’ve seen a bad fart cause that kind of behavior, but a spider!
One time while sitting on the commode, a spider startled me when it dropped on me from out of nowhere. I jumped up (mid stream) to shake it off me but unfortunately didn’t stop the rushing stream. I continued my little dance until I looked down and saw this hapless spider in a puddle on the tile floor. That little episode took at least 1/2 hour to clean up. I laugh about it every time I think about it. Since we live in the woods, I check the ceiling every time I walk into the bathroom.
One of my neighbors drove right through the wall of her garage opposite the garage door because she was looking at the spider that dropped onto front of her windshield when she drove into the garage.
BTW, the woman who jumped out of the car is a total loon.

A similar thing happened to me. I ended up getting stung on my chin a few times by a wasp. I knew what was happening to me while I pulled over to stop. But I sure wasn’t gonna kill myself having a spaz over an impending sting.
I agree, and if a person has that much difficulty dealing with phobias then they have no business driving, especially with a child in the car.
I always wondered what happened to Little Miss Muffett after she grew up…
Luckily I have two men to protect me from spiders!
I have a seven-inch spider living outside my bathroom window now.
I call her Moochelle.
A wasp got caught in my helmet chin strap. By the time I stopped and got the helmet off he stung me so bad it looked like I had a goiter.
If only Mooschelle was a black widow.
Tony wins!
She looks like she already ate her mate. He looks like seh sucked the life blood out of him.
Typical

Hey, I’m afraid of spiders, but not to the point of hurting my kids! Just go ahead and scream while you stop the car… Ha!
