Drove to the local tip this afternoon. Back seats down with a car load of gardening bags, the result of 2 days toil in the garden.
Suddenly I felt a slimy sensation on my neck (reminded my of my ex's instigation of our monthly sexual congress!) But not that bad, however it was a toad (yellow with black spots) that had presumably jumped from one of the bags and landed on my neck!
I was not super cool in the car and nearly killed myself on the road! Who expects amorous advances from an amphibian when driving to Portishead?
Has a creature (great or small) ever tried to bring about your early demise?

I walked straight out in front of traffic in Blackpool many years ago when walking up the prom I was suddenly confronted by a bloke with an enormous snake draped round his neck. I would rather have been run over than walked another step towards that, it frightened the **** out of me. |

Not as exciting as a toad but a wasp in the car while driving,I must have looked like a crazy woman driving along trying to bat it out of the window when it dive bombed me |

Whilst holidaying in Florida,a 'family' of Armadillos walked across the pathway infront of us.Im not advocating children swearing, but my daughter who was only eight at the time said in a very loud voice 'What the fuck are those things Mum!'  |

Back in the 80's, about 4 of us were visiting a few watering holes on our motorbikes. It was a circuit we did quite regularly on fine summer evenings about 5 miles north of Derby.
My mate was sent skittling down the road when a deer leapt out of the woods and disappeared into the woods on the other side 
Don't know if the deer was ok, but my mate broke his shoulder. The 4 of us had still to take our summer hols and soon had his beloved Moto Guzzi Le Mans back on the road  |

I'm originally from one of the southern states in the u.s. and have had dogs, cows, pigs, armadillos, squirrels, opossums, raccoons. skunks, deer, and turkeys run out in traffic in front of me. I've seen people break check in front of me because they see am alligator beside the road sunbathing. I've had birds dive bomb the windshield. i had a roadrunner leap onto the top of my parked minivan once whilst i was leaning in to get something. scared the beejeezus outta me when i stepped back and was eye to wicked nasty claw as it chirped at me. the only thing that freaks me out while driving, though, is spiders inside the car crawling or absailing down to say hi while I'm driving  |

See, for me, this is what makes the forums so great.
Funny story made even funnier by how it is written.
We are both laid in bed chuckling away. Well, JN is chuckling. I have actually got tears in my eyes |

Sounds like the inspiration for The Handsome Family song Far From Any Road ... I love True Dectective. |

yeah - as mentioned above.. its the spider that decides to climb down and look into your eyes while your driving.. but recently had a huge one.. not normally scared by little spiders but this thing was about 2 inches big and ran from one air vent in the windscreen to the other as quick as a flash.. nearly crashed the car..
I know the bugger is still in there tho..  |
