Most of us overreact to spiders upon first glance, but then you’ve gotta man up and kill it. Or so I’ve heard, because I’m a female and fuck that. When a man in Redding, California saw a wolf spider in his apartment he didn’t know what else to do but use his torch lighter to kill it. In his defense, look how fucking scary it is.
After he torched the son of a bitch, it ran on top of his bed, where the mattress caught on fire. Then the curtains. Then his flag collection.
Firefighters were quickly able to come and put out the second-story fire. However, there’s $11,000 worth of damage to the apartment building and its residents have to find temporary housing.
It remains unclear whether or not the wolf spider survived.
