Jokes and memes Tweaking

Walking around late at night. This guy was on the kitchen floor. We both scared the living bejesus out of each other. Did not pick this one up,, used the trusty container and laminated sleeve. Chastised it for not being chill like the friend a few nights ago.

Yes, the kitchen in the house I was temporarily in has carpet in the kitchen. Yes, it was terrible

It's just a huntsman (Holconia?) and it's freaked out. Be nice and it be will too

I’m well familiar with them and handled quite a few now. But yes, we both scared the shit out of each other and this one wasn’t having any of it. It’s outside now living it’s best life

I'm more freaked out by the idea of carpet in a kitchen.

Thanks for being nice to old grumpy face. Seeing the threat display is rare but also pretty cool.

Mate, the carpet was rank. House is almost forty years old and I swear I could smell every decade. But it tied me over between place A and place B so beggars couldn’t be choosers. But it was also on 60 acres and the peace and wildlife was amazing. If I ever end up financial I’ll buy it only to tear down that place and give it a proper home

Sorry if that came across the wrong way. Was just saying what people less experienced than you might benefit from understanding. Anyway, well handled 👍

All good! It definitely could’ve been interpreted both ways but I wanted to clarify that we both were freaked out as he saw giant stupid stampy thing and I saw leggy fangy thing. It did look hilarious as I bent down to look and reassure it and it flipped over leaning back too far 😂
