This Is The Reason You Should Check Inside Your Shoes Before Putting Them On. This Is Scary!
It’s the stuff nightmares are made of, especially if you happen to suffer from arachnophobia. Even if you aren’t among the estimated 3.5 to 6.1% of the population that is deathly afraid of spiders (source: Wikipedia), this video will likely make you feel more than a little squeamish. It comes out of Australia, the continent that’s known for being the home of more dangerous and deadly animals than any place else on Earth.
While the people living there are taught from an early age on about how to best avoid all of the dangers, the occasional wildlife run-in becomes inevitable sooner or later. This footage shows one of those panic-attack inducing moments and if you really hate spiders, avert your eyes and consider yourself warned.
The man filming explains that his young son had left his sneakers outside over the weekend. In Australia, such practice is never recommended as you never know what might take the opportunity to crawl up inside and make them its new home. Thankfully, dad knows best and before his son could stick his foot in the shoe, he checked it out first.
It turns out that the blue and orange sneaker contained a very unwelcome guest indeed, as was evidenced by the sticky mass of cobwebs that visibly reached deep down inside it. Alerted to the danger, dad wasn’t taking any chances and he thoroughly fumigated the shoe with a few good blasts of insect spray.
When no spider came crawling out, he grabbed a stick to poke around with and then suddenly out popped a large, shiny, black funnel web spider. Before he cuts the man ends the whole drama with a perfectly timed and humorously dry remark, “Welcome to Australia.” Eek!!
Funnel web spiders are among the most deadly spiders in the world because of their highly venomous bite. They love dark, moist areas and seek out tight spaces to burrow in, like a child’s shoe. Rather than run away and hide when they’re threatened or provoked, they act aggressive and will stand their ground and fight, often rearing up on their hind legs to better display their fangs.
When they do bite a person it’s often more than just once and it’s described as incredibly painful. If a male bites you, the venom he’s injecting into your body is almost six times more toxic than his female counterpart, which is why males are believed responsible for more severe cases and reported fatalities. Children are at a higher risk for funnel web spider bites because of their small size and about half of all annually reported cases involve kids.

Baby Has Never Seen Dad Without a Beard. Now Watch When She Sees His Face Shaved For The First Time.

Beards, mustaches, and other styles of facial hair have long been used as a means of disguise. Hair can easily be dyed, re-shaped, grown out, or shaved off and you don’t need to be a professional to switch it up. Either which way has the ability to drastically alter a person’s appearance in a relatively short amount of time.
In fact, facial hair transformation has always been one of the go-to tools for many criminals throughout history on the run. It’s an unspoken rule that when you’re trying to evade capture and recognition, you adopt a different appearance! While being on the lam is one reason to shave or not to shave, there’s also many additional reasons for choosing to do so.
For one young father in San Antonio, Texas, his reasons for shaving his beard were not criminally related. Rather, he decided to make the big change because he had an upcoming job interview and thought it was best that he appeared clean shaven. However, before he got rid of his impressive beard, he decided to see how his 7-month daughter would react.
Footage of the two playing peekaboo before he shaved shows the adorable little girl, Anistyn Claire, laughing and smiling at her dad who’s hiding his face behind a fuzzy brown blanket. The clip then skips to them playing the same peekaboo game after he shaved, but her has yet to reveal his full face to Anistyn Claire.
When he finally drops the blanket and his baby girl catches her first glimpse of his bare, hair-free face, she doesn’t know what to do or how to feel about it! Shaving changed his appearance so much that she seems to not even recognize him anymore and the expressions that cross her face range from confused to scared. Soon after, she falls forward, drops her head, and tries her best to avoid eye contact with her dad who’s suddenly become a stranger to her!
Dad tries his best to comfort and reassure his baby girl that it’s okay, but it proves to be a little too much for poor Anistyn Claire and she starts to cry. Her reaction is adorable and she’ll grow accustomed to her father’s new appearance in no time at all. Dad will also get used to it, but it may take him a little longer than his baby. In the background you can hear his wife commenting that “daddy probably wants to cry about it too!” The poor guy just can’t catch a break with the two leading ladies in his life, check it out and enjoy!
