There's a petrol station near our house that I always fill up at on my way home from night shifts at Kmart. And every time I've stopped there, it's always been the same young guy working the overnight shift - dark skin, dark hair, bit of an accent, Indian I think? - but yeah, he's always there and we always have a bit of a chat. Tonight I opened the fuel-hatch-thingo on the car to fill up and was greeted by a wall of web and like four little spiders and I froze and I knew there was no way I could possible stick my hand in there to open it, like NO FUCKING WAY and I wasn't sure how to go about cleaning the web and spiders out without having heart palpitations. So with a red face and a bit of a stutter, I went inside and begged the guy to pleeaaaassee help me out because spiders are the one kind of creepy crawly that I can't even begin to deal with. He smiled, grabbed a bottle of Baygon (I think he thought I saw a big spider outside or something, I was too busy freaking out to coherently explain the situation) and he followed me outside. When I pointed at the open fuel tank thing he smiled again, grabbed some paper towels from the dispenser they have right there next to the pumps, and he stuck his hand in and wiped everything out quite thoroughly. He turned to head back inside and I went to stick my hand into the thing to open it, but another little spider was hanging around so I pulled my hand back and grabbed some paper towels, trying to be brave. But he must've seen me and he walked back over and grabbed the paper towels from me and got the spider. He asked if it was okay now and I was so embarrassed omigod. I nodded and thanked him and managed to fill up without dying. When I went inside to pay, he didn't even tease me or anything, he was such a sweetheart :3 Makes me happy to know there are lovely people around. And thank god he didn't also happen to be terrified of spiders x)
The Camry I've been driving is my mum's old car that no one except me drives anymore and because it's always parked near the wall underneath my brothers' bedroom window, there are always spider webs on the passenger side window and mirror which is also the side that the fuel thingy is on. Need to set this car on fire and start walking everywhere.
