Ok, so...
on: August 31, 2012, 21:08:19 PM
...I was sat at my desk working on some photos when a small woodlouse spider crawled out from under my laptop screen, ran across the screen, and then disappeared under the screen at the top. We're talking coming out from between the plastic and the screen.

That is all.  :o :-\

Arachnaphobia anyone?

I can top that, twice.

AV dept at work, ghana / africa, cockroaches like warm places for example laptop vents when you switch them off.

I dunno how he did it, but the same guy bought back cockroaches TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS in work loan laptops.

Then given back the AV dept, you can imagine the reaction when the laptop bags where opened...

I still have the two emails saying they where getting rentokill in lol.

Beyond grim :o

A friend of my sisters works for a banana import company. I remember one story about a cargo container coming in, and someone going in to inspect it. They came out saying there was a spider in there, and that they'd need a pizza box to fit it in.

I think Alan has a few similar stories!
