Okay, yes, it's now time to cop some sandals. Unless you want to die at the hands of a TARANTSHOELA.

Yes: An Arizona woman discovered the last thing anyone wants to find inside their sneaker, a living thing, which in this case, was a huge spider.

"When you live in Arizona, the rule is: always check your shoes before you put them on," Marnie Devereux wrote on YouTube. Hiding inside her shoe was a massive tarantula.

"Oh, he's beautiful, he's a little one" Devereux can be heard saying as the spider started to make its way out of the shoe.

"Oh, huge," Devereux corrected herself when she saw just how big the spider was.

It's a curiously coolheaded reaction, as most of us would just prefer to SMASH IT TO DEATH WITH THE OTHER SHOE.
