SPIDERS
AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY FROM TENN WE STOPPED ON ROUTE 16 AND GOT A ROOM AT THE ECONO LODGE. THE ROOM WAS VERY HOT WE PUT ON THE AIR AND IT TOOK ABOUT 45 MIN. TO COOL DOWN. WE WERE EXHAUSTED, I JUST LAID ON THE TOP OF THE SPREAD AND WATCHED TV, AS I WAS LAYING THERE A BIG BROWN SPIDER WAS WALKING TOWARD ME ON THE BED. MY HUSBAND KILLED IT. HOPING IT WAS THE ONLY ONE AND BEING TO TIRED TO START DRIVING AGAIN WE DECIDED TO STAY. A HALF HOUR LATER ANOTHER BIG BROWN SPIDER CAME OUT AND MY HUSBAND KILLED THAT ONE TOO. THEN, AFTER ABOUT 35 MINUTES, A BIG BLACK SPIDER WAS RUNNING ACROSS THE WALL, WHEN MY HUSBAND TRIED TO KILL THAT ONE IT WAS WAY TOO FAST AND HE COULDN'T GET IT. THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW, WE DECIDED TO LEAVE, KNOWING WE WOULDN'T GET ANY SLEEP THERE. I WENT TO THE FRONT AND TOLD THE CLERK THE ROOM HAD 3 SPIDERS AND WE WERE NOT STAYING, HE TOLD ME WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE ROOM AS WE WERE THERE FOR 2 HOURS. I TOLD HIM WE WERE NOT STAYING AND I WANTED HIM TO SIGN MY RECEIPT AS TO WHAT TIME WE TURNED IN THE ROOM KEYS AND LEFT. HE REFUSED, SAYING WE COULD HAVE SHOWERED AND TAKEN A NAP AND WERE READY TO GO. I TOLD HIM HE COULD CHECK THE THE ROOM, WE HAD NOT TAKEN A SHOWER OR A NAP AS WE WERE BUSY LOOKING FOR SPIDERS. HIS REPLY WAS EVERYONE HAS SPIDER, YOU CAN'T GO 10 FEET WITHOUT SEEING A SPIDER, YOU HAVE SPIDERS IN YOUR HOME EVERYONE DOES. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE SPIDERS IN MY HOME, HE INSISTED I DO AS EVERYONE DOES. WE LEFT, DROVE TO ROUTE 95, TOOK THE FIRST EXIT THAT HAD MOTELS AND STAYED AT THE QUALITY INN. NO SPIDER! VERY NICE CLEAN ROOM.
