After reading about the rats I am wondering what funny animal stories are out there???? I hate slugs(my skin craws just thinking about them). Bats rate right up there too.

How about the time I was about 40' up and crawled into a very tight FL sign access, just to focus in to a big, hairy spider about the size of my fist, 2" from my eye. It was so big I could see that it was looking right back at me. We finally had to come to an agreement - I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me...
I have lots of spider stories. They're just little guys, and usually can't do much damage to you, but they still kinda gimme the creeps.

This one's my dad's: "Crawling in the crawlspace, soldering some copper pipe, a black widow spider crawls up next to me. I see it, ignore it. It moves three more inches, and I hit it with the torch. Only problem is, I also burned the hair off of my arm."

Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

iM A WILDLIFE FANANTIC but while working on a rectifier in the woods one day i heard the unmisstakeable sound of a rattlesnake. I ran and i do mean ran as far away as possible. I know they are a important part of the echo system but they make my skin crawl. Hope i never hear that sound again. I dont get spooked at all but these things send shivers down my spine.

When I was an apprentice, we were running conduit underneath the bins in a grain elevator. The boss crawled in first, made it about ten feet and came out as fast as a grown man can crawl. When I looked in, the whole ground was covered with black beetles about the size of a nickel. He had beetles crawling inside his clothes, in his pockets, even where the sun don't shine.

Re-wiring an old house and found dead pigeons in the in the walls and attic. Had to have another company come in and do a much bigger demo than the customer had planned.

I was sent to repair an old broken light on a 2nd floor outdoor staircase. I took out the switch and did a quick continuity test. There was continuity between white and black, but no light bulb in the fixture. The wood ceiling was decaying so I decided to probe around a bit. I found a dead squirrel still attached to the romex cable by it's teeth. It was gross.

I was bit by a Brown Recluse spider in 1994, working in a drop ceiling. My hand swelled up the size of a softball in less than 10 minites.Went to emergency room in less than 15 minites.
