Woman finds scary uninvited houseguest in gingerbread house
Anyone shocked to find out this happened in Australia? Probably not.
As the entire world knows by now: Australia is full of creepy and sometimes terrifying, creatures.

But these animals and insects are not just found in forests and other natural areas, as they have the tendency of showing up in cars, toilets, headphones, and even food.
Just imagine ordering a very innocent looking gingerbread house for the holidays only to discover that the little gingerbread people aren't the only ones making themselves at home.

Katie Gompetz from Sydney, Australia, bought a gingerbread house from Woolworths only to discover that there was a eight-legged friend who had made themselves very comfortable inside the box.
And it also wasn't a tiny spider:
And as you can see, it wasn't just the spider but also her sack of baby spider eggs!

In her Facebook post, Katie didn't seem too worried, just kind of disappointed:
Wait Woolworths this isn’t what I ordered? Only in Australia, only in #2020 Buy a readymade gingerbread house they said, it’ll be easier than building one they said! Seriously I don’t say this often but: why me?
She also later described the moment she saw the itsy bitsy spider:
It was like a horror movie. I was making myself a cup of tea, I glanced up at the gingerbread house thinking “hmmmm I wonder if I can sneak a piece off without the kids noticing.” Then I saw it, the tip.....of a leg, and then another leg and then another, and then the body, carrying a mother trucking egg sack. I’m done!

Luckily it all ended on a positive note after the family left the box outside in the hopes that the spider would find its own way out.
Woolworths has also gotten in touch with Katie by issuing an amusing apology:
It's safe to say Katie, and possibly a few other individuals might be avoiding other edible, festive homes.
