Recently, with the climate turning colder where I am situated, I have had quite a problem.
It isn't quite cool enough to allow me to sleep without a window open, and the vast army of spiders surrounding my house have decided that my room is the perfect temperature to set up camp.
Go back to a week ago. I was given a sample can of AXE (marked with a NOT FOR RESALE sticker), and since I don't need it (and it is repulsive) I have left it on my desk, unused.
Yesterday, a large brown garden-variety spider climbed up the wall next to my desk, scaring the utter crap out of me. I didn't have a book on hand, I refuse to use my bare hand, and the spider was getting away fast. On a gut-feeling, I grabbed the AXE, cracked the top, and doused the hairy bastard.
Insta-killed the poor critter. Never saw it coming.
Which got me wondering, what odd uses have you found for different things about the house?
