[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 4073565, member: 50693"] Totally relatable! No way the stuff I tell you all about is real right? Well it all is, so here we go with another Scooby story. I was in my 3rd week of the police academy, my 3rd week of living in Arizona from Massachusetts, and it was the 1st time I pulled "fire watch" as a police recruit. Already been in the military so not really green at this whole boot camp type of setting but whatever. Anyways, doing my little job of being kept awake, walking around the academy acting like I was really deterring a fire from starting, or actually being able to alert the recruits faster than the multi-million dollar fire suppression and alert system the academy had installed, I was doing my part. It was like 230am and I was walking by the admin building. To get to the other side of the courtyard, I had to walk under this arched trellis that had some kind of flowers growing all over it. Not being known for my graceful and well balanced gait, I bumped into this ridiculous architectural failure of a rose bush and got some of the thorns stuck in me. When I bent over to dislodge the thorns from my leg and arm, I felt something hit me in the back of the neck and slide down between the uniform shirt and my t-shirt. I thought it was one of the rose buds that had come loose from my ballet into the trellis. I grabbed the "flower ball" and it started crawling in my hand, I immediately screamed like a prepubescent school girl and flailed around like that guy in Home Alone and threw the "flower" to the ground. After I regained some composure, I saw that this supposed flower was actually a Tarantula (found in most of Arizona) and it was about the size of a Big Mac. The scream I let out would have been effective in waking the academy if there was a fire but that was not the case. Several instructors woke up since they slept in the admin section of the campus and I had some explaining to do. Unfortunately for the spider, he did not survive the throw down but at least I had him for proof as to why the trellis was damaged and I was waking everyone up. Took me a bit to live that one down.
