Ooops
Last year I was feeling lazy, and decided that it would save a lot of time if, instead of putting my pegs away after I took my washing off the line, I just left them sitting on the line until next time.
Unfortunately, the friendly neighbourhood spiders also had a good idea, which was to set up home in the hollows of all my pegs. I wasn't particularly worried, because they were small, but I did get spider guts all over my clean clothes.
Anyway, the time came to move out, and I was feeling lazy again, so I didn't take the time to remove the spiders from the pegs, I just chucked everything in a plastic bag and sealed it up tightly. Surely, I reasoned, they'll be dead before the next time I decide to do any washing.
Today, several months later, I decided it was time to do some washing. All went well, until I unsealed my bag of pegs. After what I can only imagine was a cannibalistic orgy, I have managed to create an evil horde of uber-spiders! Perhaps I can con my parents into doing my washing next time.
Why do I never hear about these things happening to anyone else?

Pretty bad case of rapid reproduction... Pics? 
'Cause anyone else who has experienced something similar has locked him/herself in a cage made from jarlsberg and mutters 'A-R-A-C-H-N-A-P-H-O-B-E spells bugger off little 8-legged-horrors!' while rocking backwards and forwards, hugging their knees...
They lived that long!?!

Or maybe Val is just the spider queen and is trying to take over the world with her evil infestation of mega-uber-spiders...and a few cockroaches
If I remember correctly, you're from New Zealand, right? What kind of spiders live there?
Well, mutant ones now. But compared with other countries they're not that big, rarely more than an inch. We have a couple of poisonous ones like the katipo and the whitetail.
And I'm sorry, I didn't take any pictures, I tied the bag back up again. This time I'm sure they'll die, especially since I just realised I have a free dryer here.
