•  
•  

Officers in Sydney went to the address after numerous calls were made claiming a woman could be heard screaming hysterically and a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, you're dead. Die! Die!"

After police attended the address in the northern suburb of Wollstonecraft and started banging on the door, a man who was out of breath and flushed in the face answered.

In a post on the force's Facebook page, New South Wales police said officers then questioned the man about who was in the apartment with him.

When he replied that he did not have a wife or girlfriend, police were perplexed.

Below is their transcript of the conversation that followed:

Police: We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?

Male: I don't know what you're talking about, I live alone.

Police: Come on mate, people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.

Police: Come on mate, what have you done to her?

Male: It was a spider.

Police: Sorry??

Male: It was a spider, a really big one!!

Police: What about the woman screaming?

Male: Yeah sorry that was me, I really, really hate spiders.

What neighbours thought was a serious incidence of domestic violence was in fact the man chasing the arachnid around his home with a can of spider spray.

The police report concluded: "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left."

a primitive bow and wooden arrow and was not afraid.

Let a spider crawl on me and I will scream like a girl.

So right, SNOW... even snakes have a useful purpose, and yes, SHABS, we are 

spider sympathizers and proud of it ! 

 

We keep a Rainbow Boa Constrictor at 'OlSarge'sFishCamp to keep it rodent-free... even the cats

get along with it and it seems to know not to strangle the cats ! They've been seen hangin' out in

the same Mango tree even !

 

And we also have a resident Coati Mundi on the job to take out pests as well !

[SnowGlobe7]

is it tame? My daughter would just LOVE that!!!!!!

the snake on the other hand...hey we all gotta respect each others space!!! 

 

Funny how some animals learn to live with each other when they really are each others "enemy"

[SgtFuryUSCZ]

Very tame, SNOW.... came to us as a wee little kit, SO DAMNED CUTE !

Kinda racoon-like and chirps all the time ! 

 

Great pets... if ya can train it not to be a biter ! And watch those claws !

Looks adorable in a little cammo T-shirt, too !

 

Much better than Ferrets... smell better.... and don't chew wires and ransack the house !

Now that would be funny, toss a spider out on the floor of a store being held up by a bunch of thugs when shabbs and dog are inside, then watch 'em all start screaming like girls and holding onto each other... while a cute little teen girl walks up and puts it in her pocket..... roflmao....

[nstoolman1]

 

 

Spiders or Snakes.

 

I don't care for either of them.

Take away the screams and it's just a masculine bro hug.....though slightly uncomfortable.

[SnowGlobe7]
