Run in with the buffalo PD

Late last night as I was driving to starbucks, I noticed a HUGE spider drop right in front of my face! Now, being slightly arachnaphobic, I almost totaled my new car while trying to pull of the road. I scream into the Burger King parking lot and stop my car under one of the floodlights. I jumped out of my car and started throwing off my clothing. First came the jacket: I checked that all over and found no spidey. Second came my sweater: still no spidey. Realizing that if I took off my shirt it would be 1. indecent exposure and 2. I would freeze, I attempted to calm myself and look in the car for mr. spidey. This nice man walked by and asked if I was ok. I explained what happened and he offered to help me look for the spidey. I politely declined and he went to BK. When he reemerged from BK, I was still in the process of looking for the spidey. Spidey was nowhere to be found. This guy asked again if I was going to be ok and if I needed help. Well, being a little desperate but not completely void of dignity, I told him I would be ok once I found the arachnid. Well, after several prayers and several minutes later, a police and his partner come into the parking lot and stop right behind me.

So picture this: me, frantic in the parking lot, clothes all over the top of my car, my doors wide open and all my lights on. I am thinking that they are coming for me...

Well, the guy did get out of his car, but was just being dropped off at his undercover car. At this point, my dignity went out the window, however, as I shouted, "officer!!! Can you help me? Do you have a flashlight?" So he looks at me, my car and then back to me and I explain about the spider fiasco. Well, the nice police and his partner both grab their flashlights and start combing through my car for the spider. After a few minutes the police handed me a few things from my car, saying "here hold these." After a few more minutes, they found the enormous spider and killed it. Man I could have kissed them both.

So now all is back to normal with my and my Saturn. Arachnid free and everything...
