So this morning, I grabbed my headphones like I always do, ready to listen to some music. Didn’t think twice about it, just put them on and hit play. Almost immediately, I felt this weird tickling in my ear. At first, I thought it was just a hair or something, but then I felt it move.
I ripped the headphones off, and there it was a spider crawling out of one of the ear cups. I shook the headphones, and more little spiders started falling out. Apparently, they had made a nest inside the headphones, right where my ears were supposed to go.
And yep, a couple of them decided to crawl into my ear. Spent the next few minutes trying to shake them out without losing my mind, then spent the next hour checking my room for any more of these creepy crawlies. This was definitely not how I wanted to start my day, and now I’m probably going to have trust issues with my headphones for a while.
TL;DR: always check your headphones before putting them on, or you might end up with a bunch of spiders in your ear.
