I'm actually finding myself to have more sympathy for the woman than I thought I would. That is to say, any.

The twist is she saved it from being in a car wreck!
This was referenced in a separate thread.
I'll simply restate that I'm more surprised that the son was able to think that quickly that he has to do something and attempt to save the day (unfortunately he stepped on the gas) than I am at the woman freaking out at the spider (an irrational fear).
It makes me believe this may not be the first time his mother became frightened in such an extreme manner.

I feel like there should be a "Spider Camp" for adults who are deathly afraid of spiders. Three weeks and they come back with their own puppet tarantula and a new outlook on life.
edit: I meant to type "pet tarantula" but I guess that works too.

Which GAF's account is she? I'm certain that she read GAF's advices towards spiders.

A friend of mine is deathly afraid of wasps and bees. Once a wasp flew into the car while my friend was sitting in back middle seat between two other people. We were going pretty fast down the highway at the time and he freaked out, opened the door and tried to climb over then shove the guy sitting by the door out.
He's done similar things on crowed balconies.

lol.
The kid jumped into the driver's seat like this was just another day in the life. One heck of a mother.
This reminds me of the time my family and I were in a car accident, and the woman that slammed into us immediately got out of the car to freak out. While her car rolled down toward the shopping center, baby still inside. Thankfully, there was a well-placed lamppost that stopped it before the baby went on an adventure down the hill and into the parking lot.

why the fuck were your windows open?
And why the fuck were you driving slowly enough that a wasp could fly into your window?

What's wrong with driving with your windows open?
Perhaps the weather was nice and traffic was momentarily backed up? Is this an entirely unrealistic scenario to you?

I thought this thread would finally explain this gif, but the story is even worse. Jumping from a car with your son still in it? Jebus.

Please tell me she got charged. That car went straight into ongoing traffic and she is just walking like she don't give a shit.

Oh wow she jumped out of the car?? I would just die of heart attack if that happened to me.
She lucky that her kid is okay but he might be emotionally scarred that his mother abandon him.
What the story behind that gif?

I've absolutely no idea what happened to her or the story behind that incident. Here's the video, though.
It was a stolen car and she was high at the time.
Nah, the twist is that the spider was in on it. It was an insurance scam to murder her child and collect the insurance money. In return, the spider would get 15% of the cash.
This is like a real life "cut the red wire or the blue wire" situation.

I think if your spider phobia is that bad, it's probably time to see a therapist.
Apparently she was under the influence of drugs and driving a stolen car.

Yep! Good on the kid for his quick thinking and knowing what to do.

I've had a bee get into my car while driving highway speeds. Also my AC didn't work.

I had an 05 mazda 3 that gets infested with spiders every fucking summer. Trust me it's horrifying driving around and then feeling a tingle on your neck.

But it isn't horrible enough to do what that lady did. You fucking learn how to steel your nerves and you become a god among spiders. Nothing quite like feeling a spider crawl along your neck while going 60 down the high way.

This story reminds me of the time I was in a haunted house with my mother when I was 5 or 6. Some guy jumped out of the shadows with a phony chainsaw that just made sound effects. She pushed me aside and immediately ran out of the place screaming for her life. We still laugh about it to this day.

Obviously what she did was beyond stupid but damn... if I found a spider crawling on my shoulder I would probably shit and pee at the same time from fear.
That is a fucking brilliant reply. Cheers, "Geoff."

9 year old kid had more sense than the mom.
