I'm a simple emigrant and I escaped from a giant spider

Another thing I love about Germany is that there’s no chance of accidentally getting stung by a scorpion when you put on your shoes or encounter a snake while going to the little room, you know what I mean. But sometimes there are scary critters here too. We were recently guests in a two-story apartment, with the second floor under the roof. The ceiling there was very high; at my height of about one and a half meters I could only reach it as if with a cannon. So, when at night I found a huge spider on the ceiling in front of the bedroom door, at first I decided to pretend nothing happened. But that didn’t last long; after about five minutes I told my friend: “Shall I show you something I myself wasn’t glad to see?” He nodded, “Sure.” In short, I showed him the spider. And it was decided that we must now stare at it without blinking, because if we step away and come back and the spider is already gone, that’s the end. That can mean only one thing: the spider has already crawled into the bedroom, hidden behind the pillow on the bed, and is just waiting to bite off my head! But the solution, as you understand, isn’t long-term; sooner or later we’d have to sleep. So we decided to go on the attack. I don’t kill such creatures, I usually just catch them with a piece of paper and a glass and throw them off the balcony like Spartans. But this spider is smart; it climbed up to such a height and sits there, looking with its eight eyes! But we’re not amateurs either; we engineered the tallest possible structure: a small ladder + an outstretched arm of a tall friend + a vacuum cleaner hose. It was decided to suction the spider with the vacuum and then carry it out. In the end, we went up on our knees and sucked the spider in! I flinched, and my friend said the spider is so big that you can feel it through the hose. I got a bit scared to immediately open the vacuum and pull out the spider, what if we angered it. And I came up with a brilliant idea to take the vacuum to the first floor and lock it in the bathroom until morning. So that’s what we did. And in the morning more friends were due to come; I thought they’d be curious why there’s a vacuum in the bathroom. In the morning we get up, go to check the canister, and the spider isn’t in it. Right, then we simply burned the whole house and moved. What wildlife have you encountered in Germany? P.S. Spider, if you’re reading this, we didn’t mean to hurt you, don’t look for us! #curiosities
