The Don't Fuck with Nature thread

About 10 years ago I was getting the lawnmower out of my shed when I heard some rustling in the back of the shed. I didn’t have to wait long to see what it was. The skunk was more startled than I was, and that filthy fucker doused me from head to toe.

It was a cool spring day, so I was wearing sweat pants and a sweatshirt. Before going back inside the house to take a shower, I stripped down to my boxers on my front porch. My neighbor happened to be standing at his window sipping coffee, not knowing what the hell was going on. He just slowly turned around when he saw me taking my clothes off.

I had left the door of the shed propped open and gave the skunk some time to leave. I pounded on the back side of the shed a few times over an hour or so, but eventually I just had to go in to see if it left or not. Lucky for me, it had. The smelly clothes went in the trash bin. Fun day.

Oh that sucks. I've shot several over the years, and have learned that head shots are the best way to keep them from spraying. I've got a dog that must think he's their best friend. Whenever one wanders near he usually gets a full dose. 🤮 The other dog is smart enough to stay the hell away.

What about the neighbor?

Well, to make it even more awkward, I didn’t see him for at least a month. Not in person anyway, just one of us in the car or whatever. I eventually saw him doing some yard work and struck up a conversation. I asked if he’d seen any skunks in his yard, and made sure to mention that I’d been sprayed and had to leave my stinky clothes outside. Still not sure if he put it together. At this point, I’d like to think he didn’t.

The Wrap-around Spider, indigenous to Australia, can flatten and wrap its body around tree limbs for camouflage.
