Me at the gym: *Takes my gym bag from my cubby and puts it on the floor to look for my ibuprofen*
Spider: *Crawls off of my bag and onto the floor*
Me: ...
Guy 1: Excuse me, could you move for a moment?
Me: *Moves without looking away from the spider*
Guy 1: Thanks, sorry about that 😅 *Gets to the stuff in his cubby*
Me: No problem. Hey, is there a tissue or something I can use for this spider?
Guy 1 and 2: *Looks down at it*
Guy 2: Are you gonna kill it or take it outside?
Me: Not sure.
Guy 2: Haven't decided yet? 😅
Me: Yeah, I'd prefer whatever is less messy 🤔 *Glancing around to try to find and spot some tissues*
Them: 😂
Spider:
Me: Ya know what? I'll just...uh...use this? *Picks it up with the towel I use to wipe down the equipment I've been using to wipe down the gym equipment when I'm done*
Spider: *Starts quickly crawling around the towel*
Me: *Maneuvering the towel so it doesn't get on me as I rush to the door*
Me: Ew ew ew ew! 😖 *Shakes it off the towel outside of the door*
Them: 😂😂
I guess we have fun here 😂 they're probably just glad that I didn't scream, run away and beg them to take care of it 😅
Which I almost did make a noise, considering it crawled off of my bag after I touched it and set it down. But I guess since the first time I saw it was it on the floor, trying to crawl away from me, I guess I was able to be in silent shock instead 😂
I'm just glad I wasn't so startled that I screamed or something. Just imagine me jumping away from my bag, screaming and like...6 or 7 dudes just whipping their heads around to look at me *that's all there was in the gym, I was the only girl QwQ;*? Yikes.
Glad I was able to just be chill with the spider and amuse people instead of making a high pitched scream or something that would make everyone's ears bleed 😅
Added:
It would've. It definitely would've been embarrassing 😂
