It's said everything is fair in love and war. However, there's another scenario when all's fair play. We're talking about the scary moment when you find a creepy crawly in your house. Spiders, lizards, cockroaches, you find any of these in your house and that's it. Short of moving houses, no step seems too drastic to take. So you have to give this woman credit for thinking of a way out when she spotted a spider in her house.
"My fear of spiders was taken to a whole new level today in which I ordered food in a hope that the delivery driver would remove the spider," says criminology student Demi on Twitter. Yep, she actually decided to have some food delivered to her address so the delivery guy could help her out with the spider situation in her house. Her tweet about the incident has made quite the impact, with over 700 'likes' in five days.
Ms Demi's tweet is accompanied with a snapshot of her conversation with the food ordering company. She explained her predicament to them, asking if the delivery person could help her. She even added that she may sound silly but her question was absolutely serious. They agreed to help and voila, the situation was handled.
She also shared a picture of the driver Joe tackling the spider and thanked him for his bravery.
Even the food ordering company was impressed.
Ms Demi's tweet has collected quite a few reactions on Twitter.
"I hope you gave him a nice tip for going above and beyond their duty!" wonders one Twitter user. "That's literally the best idea I've ever seen," says another.
"I once asked the mailman to get a spider for me and a neighbour that I barely knew. They both did it for me but that's when I realised I need to do something about this. I'd rather have a stranger in the house than face a spider... not okay," says one comment. "Genius idea. As one also terrified of spiders, I understand this quite well. I hope he knows how much this meant. May we all be lucky enough to find a Joe when we need one," says another.
