Driver’s nonchalant reaction to finding Huntsman spider on car surprises people
“I would leave the car and walk for the rest of my life,” joked a Reddit user while reacting to a video of a spider on a car's bumper.
How would you react if someone told you that you have a huge spider hitching a ride in your car? Most people would probably get out of the car and wait for animal control to take the arachnid away. However, what this driver did when a biker told him that he had a huge spider on his car's bumper will leave you surprised.

A video posted on Reddit captures the entire incident. It is shared with a caption that reads, “Just Australian things.” The video shows a biker debating if he saw a Huntsman spider on the bumper of a car. He then slowly approaches the car and informs the driver about the creature. To which, the driver calmly replies, “Yeah. It has been there for ages”. The video ends with both the driver and the bike rider laughing at the situation.
