Shared on November 30, the post has garnered over 1,900 reactions along with several comments from netizens. While some were horrified at the size of the spider, others expressed how they would’ve reacted if the spider was in their car.
“Oh omg I thought it was a giant giant one that was the size of my head. I JUST realised it is in the car handle,” wrote a Facebook user. “Ok, that would make me shudder and probably enter the car from the opposite side,” commented another.
“That’s not your car any more, it has a new owner. Might as well hand the keys over,” joked a third. “He/she certainly looks very cosy, and with a good view of the world. Lucky you saw it first,” expressed a fourth.
