Terrified resident begs the postman for help in hilarious note after discovering a spider is ‘holding mail hostage’
WE BET there aren't many people who wouldn't run in the other direction if they came in close contact with an eight-legged creepy crawly.
But what do you do when a huge spider moves into your mailbox stopping you from collecting your mail?
Well, you can do what one terrified resident has done and beg your local postman for help - and hope they aren't too bothered by creepy crawlies.
A post on the Instagram account, @ has shared a hilarious letter the person wrote in a desperate attempt to remove the spider for good.
In the anonymous note, the writer joked that their mail had "been held hostage" by the insect and prompted the postman to do whatever it takes to help.
The letter reads: "Dear Mr. Postman!
"Beholder of parcels, bringer of utility bills, I write to you on this day to ask a simple task of you.
"Living on the right side of my mailbox is a spider, seemingly holding my mail hostage.
"If you could remove him for me, either by relocation or brutal murder, I would be forever in your debt.
And it was signed off by "Resident."
Getting creative with the request, the writer also included a small drawing of a spider with a note that says: "Spider looks like this."
