Last night, if you were sitting in my apartment building's hallway, you would have had a front row seat to....
Kaleena vs Brown Recluse Spider
Round I
I was walking up the stairs to my apartment with a bunch of plastic grocery bags hanging off my arm. Eleven to be exact, it's my new record. As I was looking down, I spotted the bastard. I spotted the Brown Recluse Spider. And as you know, Reader, I am pretty terrified of any bug, mainly spiders. I looked down at my shoes and saw I was only wearing flip flops so stomping it to death was out of the question. I went inside (quicky) and grabbed my only weapon, Windex... as in glass cleaner. I chose this because it would kill the spider and I could aim from a far distance. I went back out to the hall and started spraying and spraying and spraying. The spider kept running which made me want to die. Anyway, what felt like a bajillion sprays later, the spider was finally motionless and what appeared to be dead. The only problem was... as I was spraying it to its death, it crawled up onto my neighbor-across-the-hall's door. So the scene of the crime was all over her door.... her door was covered in Windex with a dead spider stuck on it.
I didn't want to look like a bigger idiot than I already am by explaining it to her... so I ran into my apartment before she came out. About five minutes later I heard voices in the hall. I peeped out of the peep hole and saw her and a guy looking at the door, confused. I silently laughed to myself, silently pitied myself because I knew this was probably the biggest highlight of my week and then went back to my throne, the couch.
In conclusion:
1. Spiders make me look like I am crazy.
2. I can be an idiot.
3. That spider didn't stand a chance.
4. I know I should do the right thing and explain what happened to my neighbor, but no.
5. When it comes to bugs, I am a coward.

I am totally the same way. I think you were superb. I would have freaked too...and left it on the door. No way am I touching it!!
hahaha, Kaleena! You are sooo funny!! You always have the best stories, which is great, because you are the best story teller!
Made me laugh out loud Kaleena, good story! :)
Bahahah! That is all kinds of hilarious!
Never explain that to her. She's so happy having the story of that crazy time she opened her door and it was covered in Windex and a dead spider.
You go girl!
Hahaha!! Oh my goodness, that is too hilarious! I've never thought of Windex as spider deterrent before...What a wonderful idea! ;)
