My husband's possesed truck!
Talk about vehicles that have minds of their own! I swear my husband's truck hates him. With a passion. And after all he has done for the crazy thing!
We live in the south, as some of you know, and tarantulas are not very common here in this area. At all. So it was a surprise when my brave strong courageous husband calls me FREAKING OUT. Near hysterical panic. He was in the middle of a busy street driving and screeching because a tarantula was crawling up his leg! It easily as big as his hand splayed wide open.
I was 50 miles away at home and could do nothing to help. Now don't get me wrong, I really don't like spiders but I understand that a tarantula is smart. Like a dog. Be nice to it it is fairly nice to you. Unfortunately my husband does not listen to me and whacks at the poor thing with a metal pipe. Anyone wanna say pissed off spider? Hence the spider promptly starts to lunge at him. By now my husband has pulled over in a Burger King parking lot and bolted out of his truck. This little game of bash and run takes 45 minutes. He also refuses to listen to me to calm down and stop antagonizing the arachnid . Go figure.
Finally he hangs up with me and calls a buddy of his that likes spiders. It takes this guy 5 min. to calm down the spider and get him into a terrarium.
That is incident no.1.
No. 2 isn't as freaky but just as hilarious.
Today while driving down the road with the radio off he suddenly hears a soft masculine male go 'Awwwwwwww' then silence. Seconds later there is a 'How sweet' in the same voice. Then 'NO! GET OUT!' My poor hubby had just about jumped out of the moving truck when he saw the radio turning off and on by itself. It was on a talk radio station. The two DJ's were talking to their intern and commenting on his Valentine's day. How the 'no get out ' was involved I haven't figured out but I nearly laughed out a lung when he told me this story.
It is probably just a lose connection or fried wire but still. First, my hubby's truck spits out a tarantula to freak him out then messes with his mind via radio. I'm beginning to wonder if we bought a wanna be Decepticon. I happen to love the truck and love the fact that it keeps my man on his toes.
Plus I love the laughs I get from listening to my hubby freak or describe his freak out. I can't wait for the next incident!
