"A horror movie": Woman's shock at unwanted guest in purchase
<p>A Woolworths customer has found the funny side to a very disturbing find in her gingerbread house.</p>
<p>Shopper Katie explained to Facebook that she found a massive huntsman, complete with egg sac, in a readymade gingerbread house that was purchased from her local supermarket.</p>
<p>“Wait Woolworths, this isn’t what I ordered?” laughed Katie.</p>
<p>“Only in Australia, only in #2020.</p>
<p>“Buy a readymade gingerbread house they said, it’ll be easier than building one they said!</p>
<p>“Seriously I don’t say this often but: why me?”</p>

<p>She then described how she found it in the packaging.</p>
<p>“It was like a horror movie,” she said.</p>
<p>“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.’</p>
<p>“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 sac.</p>
<p>“I’m done!”</p>
<p>People were disgusted with the find.</p>
<p>“Are you SERIOUS? It’s INSIDE THE BOX,” wrote one.</p>
<p>“OMG! Complete with egg sac so it’s been in there a long while!”</p>
<p>Katie said she moved the spider outside, and a Woolworths representative apologised for the "scary surprise".</p>
<p>“Oh no Katie - this critter just wanted a home, but this is definitely not the right one for her!” the representative said.</p>
<p>“Thanks for letting us know, and we apologise for the scary surprise. After all, it’s Christmas, not Halloween.</p>
<p>“Please feel free to return the gingerbread house to our store service desk for a replacement - one without an added houseguest!”</p>
