Obligatory this happened a few days ago. Husband and I got coffee while running some errands. Met my mom for breakfast, left coffee in the truck. When we were done, the coffee was still warm so I thought “fuck yeah” and drank it because it was really good coffee. I quickly realized there was something in my mouth that wasn’t coffee. As my husband is parking in the Walmart parking lot, I realize it’s a dead spider. That was in my mouth. Cue freak out. I jump out of the truck gagging and spitting coffee everywhere. In the hubbub, my phone fell out of my pocket and hit the ground, shattering one of the camera lenses.

Tldr: left coffee in the truck, where a spider must have thought it would make for a lovely swim. Drank said coffee, got spider in my mouth, freaked out and broke my phone.

Lucky you're not in Australia. Probably would have died 😂

I'm picturing the facehugger scene from Aliens. 🫣

I was showing a photo I took of a dead spider to some friends the other day and compared it to a “super facehugger” (the big one from Alien 3). Lol

In Oz, the spider would be big enough to hold the coffee cup and drink it itself.

OP would come back to a caffeinated spider and an empty cup ahaha

I just threw up in my mouth

Throwing up in your mouth is inconsiderate to the spider that was living there

Ouch, this one.

I once inhaled a live spider into my throat through a snorkel. Definitely unnerving.

I’ve had a similar experience. But it was a bottle of coke and my brother used it as a spitter and ashtray

My friends brother had similar experience but it was a can of "Mt. Dew" that his kid had pissed in while waiting in the car

Did you at least taste the spider? Cats don’t seem to like how they taste

On many phones it's not too hard to change the camera lens.
