Eek! So native New Yorkers are inherently familiar with strangers. Really! I likely would have told her. Though I hate having blood drawn so I might have been too preoccupied to notice.

These are fun things to know about you! I'm also very familiar with strangers, but apparently not when it comes to spiders :-)

It’s so easy to sit, relaxed, at home and say what I’d do.

Especially as spiders don’t scare me and I promptly chase form & remove for my wife. No, I do not tell her that I found any in the bathroom.

With the good rapport we had, I hope I would ask the intake clerk to humour me, lean forward, and I’d brush it from her hair.

BTW great that you are a blood donor!

Haha, I don't mind your armchair quarterbacking :-) Also, your wife is lucky to have a Resident Spider Addresser.
