You'll like this one ! When living in Sydney I was admiring myself in the mirror after putting on my best pulling shirt for a night out on the town. Something felt a bit odd and then a lump started moving in my shirt, much panic and arm flapping followed and eventually a still alive but battered huntsman spider emerged. Perfectly harmless ( apparently ) but very big and hairy and tarantula like if you don't know any better.

I once had a house spider crawl on my head while I was sleeping. This wouldn’t have been so bad had it not been recklessly enough to wake me from slumber. It was quite a big one and so I flicked it off and went back to sleep. Having not learnt from it’s previous near death experience from 30 minutes earlier; it came back to the same spot and did the same thing, at which point I caught it and put it outside. This isn’t a scary or phobia story btw; I should have said so earlier, sorry. I haven’t any amusing irrational phobias to relate that I know of

I once watched an episode of Casualty where this old woman had ringing in her ears, and they found a moth in there, still alive, flapping away

I didn't like that much.

I think it was interested in a source of warmth, and had a bad memory, rather than crawling around on my head just for fun or on a Kamikaze mission.

It gets a mixed response.

Given that Schindler ran an engineering company, I've often wondered if there is any relation.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
