Couple Shares Why They Can’t Leave Their Home And Everyone Is Telling Them To Burn Their House

Queensland, Australia resident Lauren Ansell was cooking dinner with her boyfriend the other night when an unexpected visitor turned their quiet evening into a night of terror. It was a huntsman spider, a horrifying dinner plate-sized beast, and he wasn’t in the mood for any funny business.

Though not extremely dangerous to humans, these Australian spiders will bite if aggravated – and you better believe the bad boy holding this couple hostage was unhappy when they tried to move his hairy legs out. Even their poor cat was too afraid of the demonically big spider to make a move. Would they be doomed to forever cower inside their home at the behest of a scary spider?

After the bitter stand-off culminated in Ansell’s partner attempting to crush the biggest spider ever using the glass door, the enemy retreated with minor wounds. “We nicknamed the hairy spider ‘Aragog’ from Harry Potter, and have a feeling it has run into the forbidden forest,” Ansell told local media in conclusion. Though it’s unclear whether Aragog and his extremely long spider legs are gone for good or simply lying in wait until his next attack, at least everyone involved in this harrowing drama came out alive.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
