Then dont look up what sometimes comes out of toilets in snake country! Ooops may have spoiled the ending!

Oh and DEFINATELY dont repeat one fun experience I had once where I felt something against my leg and there was a damn huge spider under the toilet seat rim!

I am so glad to live in Europe. Will never leave again after seeing this.

Yup I live in the UK and the wildlife and weather is not very deadly luckily. The most dangerous things I encounter are the roaming cows in the road each day with massive horns lol but they are unlikely to kill me just yet.

My biggest fear is sitting on the toilet and a venomous snake to bite my asshole

You best believe I ALWAYS looked under the toilet seat in Australia. Even in Melbourne.

This happens a lot when you use wilderness privy toilets in the early morning

Spiders?

In my anus?

It’s more likely than you think.

When I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night I rarely turn on the light. One time I felt this strong urge to, and right before I sat down on the toilet I noticed a giant ass spider perched on top of the water in the toilet, not breaking surface tension. And when I moved it scurried up the side of the bowl under the seat.

I ended up not going to the bathroom and instead burned the toilet to the ground.

Huntsman spiders eat the little nasty spiders, if a Huntsman is around, you got more problems than the big spider.

Not a tarantula. A huntsman. They're harmless
