[quote name='slidecage']personally i dont know if anyone could ever beat the best thing i ever found at a goodwill store.... it probally was a good 25 + years ago... anyone remember those electric football games.. Well my grand parents took me down looking for a set of golf clubs and i saw this sitting on the shefl for a few bucks...I begged them to buy it for me (they had one but wouldnt let us touch it) so my grandfather finally said they would buy it .... picked up the box and started carrying it up to pay for it , but then my grandfather goes did you check to make sure all of the pieces are inside...
So i put down the box and open up the end AND ...........................................................................
Out jump this big ass spider (bigger then the little people in the box... i would have to say the thing was about the size of a small Cat toy.... people starting screaming as the thing ran across the floor to the other side of the room ... the workers then came out and started asking what was going on... They took a broom under the shelf it went under and it came flying out of there back to the other side and went into this big pile of boxes... never saw it again..
long story short we didnt buy the football game (they said it could of laid eggs in the item and my grandfahter said there was no way in hell he was going to have a family of spiders living in his house
LOL[/QUOTE]
I sat down on one of those old style school desks(with the metal frame and the writing surface that flipped up, I think) and out from underneath said writing surface all of these tiny red spiders started crawling.
There had to be about 50-75 of them swarming up on top of the desk by the time I jumped up.
Ever since then I usually check before I sit down to try out anything at Goodwill/Salvation Army.
Another time my one buddy sold me his old NES system(he and each of his sisters and brothers all had one each). So I get it home, open it up to clean the contacts and everything and I saw dead bugs inside the system. Luckily there were no LIVE bugs in there.
