A student ordered takeaway just so the delivery driver could get a rid of a spider in her corridor.
The spider was taken away
Demi Sweeney, 22, is so terrified of arachnids that she spent £13 on KFC order and asked Deliveroo to send someone round to deal with the unwanted house guest.
As reported by the Metro, she said: ''I was hungry and thirsty at this point because I couldn't go downstairs to get any food because the spider was blocking my exit!
''I spoke to Deliveroo customer service and then made my order, and in the delivery notes asked if they could remove the spider for me.
''Ironically, when the driver arrived he told me that he was scared of spiders too but after enough begging he got rid of it.''
Demi admitted her fear of spiders - this one's body alone was apparently the size of a two pence piece - has got worse since moving into her shared university house.
She added: ''This spider was exceptionally bad - its body alone was the size of a two pence coin and it was blocking the stairs.
''I was scared that because of where it was it might drop on me, but luckily when I heard the knock on the door I forced myself to ring downstairs because I knew that's where help was.''
