Friday Funnies: New homeowner gets scary ‘present’

Agents who have been accused of giving tacky housewarming gifts can take heart from the fact their box of chocolates wasn't life-threatening.

An English resident recently received a nasty surprise when he opened a package addressed to his new home and discovered a tarantula inside, according to Yahoo News.

The package, which was marked ‘return to sender’, was actually intended for the previous owner.

“Dates on the parcel showed it had been unopened for about three weeks and the tissue bedding in the tarantula's container had gone mouldy,” the website reported.

“The man took the spider to Highcroft Veterinary Group in Whitchurch, Bristol, where it was examined and found to be ‘very unwell’.”

It should make for an interesting conversation if the agent ever follows up with the buyer.
