So i get into work and took a sip off my water jug. Water bottle was uncovered over the weekend, but I didnt think anything of it.

This is what I saw walking on the surface AFTER my first sip and about to take my SECOND sip (pic is a bit grainy b/c is a camera phone):

 

Dude, that sucks. I usually check before I drink all the time, just incase something like this happens - though 99.9% of the time, there's nothing in my cup.

 

wow that sucks. Just hope that the spider was not pregnant, but even it was they probably wont survive through your stomach acid.

 

**** that, i would never drink again.

 

lids were made for a reason.

 

yes, lesson learned. This would be the second spider-near-my-mouth encounter. First one happened years ago, while I was half asleep.

 

Ive had a similiar encounter with a few yellow jackets. Camping in Coloma, the bees love to fly into soda cans. Its quite a shock to take a sip of soda and have a bee flying around in your mouth!! It happened twice when I was really young. Luckily the suckers didnt get me!

 

i don't drink out of things that were uncovered for long periods of time. I always dump it out and refill it before drinking.

Yep, but it's usually the other .01% when you don't look that there's something in there.

 

ahhhhh! that sucks.. i never drink anything thats been exposed for too long

 

i also check my towel before i dry myself off.. kinda a change of subject but ya spiders like to hide in those too for some reason.
