Almost (but not quite) crashed the car on the drive home from work today.

Only a very thin thread around my panic reflex kept me from doing so.

I was boogeying my way up 176th, approaching the last set of lights before the hill, probably doing 100 km/h or so. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Straight drive, not-busy intersection, concrete median on side of the fast lane (where I was), dry pavement. Awesome, right?

Except for the little grey spider that had been hangin', unknown to me, on the ceiling near my head. Chose that moment to start descending rapidly from a string. In clear peripheral vision.

HOMG THERE IS A GIGANTIC (less than a centimetre long) SPIDER RIGHT THERE AND IT'S GOING TO GET ON ME AND I'M TRAVELLING VERY FAST AND THE LIGHT'S COMING AND SHIT SHIT SHIT KEEP GOING STRAIGHT.

The resulting freakout was kept under control, but only barely, and thanks be to there being stray napkins on the passenger seat for some reason.

I'm a total badass, yeah.
