  • A while ago, I moved to a rural area and placed my recliner next to a semi open fireplace / chimney.

    In that timeframe, many times I’ve had an unattended open topped cup containing a sugary beverage with a straw on it; most of those times it’s been a fine experience.

    Two of those times, I’ve picked up the beverage without looking in the cup and taken a few big chugs through the straw, only to then look in the cup as I set it down and realize that there was a spider type critter (once an unidentified species, once a harvestman).

    Both times I immediately spat out anything I could and went for mouthwash.

    Nowadays I look in my cups before chugging.

    I wish I had a better place for my cups.
