Liz and I attended a friend's wedding when we were in Australia several years ago and on our drive back home late at night I saw a shadow run across the window of my car, and I knew immediately that it was one of these little guys. So I reached down and made sure my window was wound up, then reached behind me and made sure the back window was wound up, too.
Liz asked what I was doing. I told her there was a Huntsman spider on the car and asked her to make sure her windows were wound up as well. Liz had never seen a Hunstman before, had no idea what they were (other than a spider, as I'd just said) but she humored me and made sure her side windows were wound up, too.
Then she grabbed my leg and I almost ran the car off the road.
Liz thought it was hilarious and said the spider must have come off by now, after all, we're doing 65mph.
With perfect timing the Huntsman chose that moment to run across Liz's window.
Liz didn't think that was quite so funny.
