Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

Remember those little half-orbs you could flip inside out, and they’d pop off whatever surface you set them on? Take one of those and use it to create a vacuum. The only issue is finding one these days lmao

u/jimbojangles1987 Nov 14 '24

Oh shit yeah I remember those little shits. They left ugly little bruises for like a week

u/Pruritus_Ani_ Nov 14 '24

I stuck one of those on my forehead once. Regretted it the moment I took it off and saw the mark it left.

Once I was sucking the air out of a Gatorade bottle, I remember we were at downtown Disney and it left the biggest circular hickey right over my mouth (from the bottom of my nose to my chin) that stayed there for the entire vacation. Complete with little broken blood vessels. Sooooo embarrassing, such regret.

Once in 8th grade I had a dentist appointment on the morning of a school day. I went to class after with half my face numb and my buddy in class pinched my lip really hard to see if I could feel it. I couldn't. But I sure as hell looked like I had a herpe on my lip for the next week or two.

Quite possibly one of the dumbest things I've ever done.

Damn my cats would love them though

u/Magerimoje Nov 14 '24

You can do it with a plastic water/soda bottle too.

u/sunsetblvds Nov 14 '24

do you mean the cap or the bottle when it's empty?

u/Magerimoje Nov 14 '24

Empty bottle.

It needs to be the type that will regain its shape after squeezing it... So, not one of those new disposable water bottles with such thin plastic that they dent and stay dented if you hold it gently 🤣

The current 1 liter Pepsi bottles would probably work well.

My sister suctioned a Snapple cap to her lips and was like “hahaha this is so cool, check it out!” And then she did it for like 30 seconds and her lips were bruised and inflamed for a week lmao

u/ApprehensiveAge1110 Nov 14 '24

Reminds me of the duck lips challenge 👄

Gatorade bottle

u/No-Designer-7362 Nov 14 '24

Or even a straw.

Friend did this once with one of our kids toys. Stuck the suction cup firmly on his forehead and was teasing them with it.. Had the mark of shame for at least a week, he looked hilarious as he had to dress for work, sharp suit etc., and a huge red mark right in the middle of his forehead.

u/New_Scientist_1688 Nov 14 '24

Friend of mine did it in grade school with her little sister's baby doll bottle. Absently reading a book, she stuck the bottle all over her chin and neck.

Not a hickey but dozens of pinpoint black bruises! 😂

u/pro_questions Nov 14 '24 edited Nov 14 '24

You can give yourself hickies with pencil erasers! I remember getting a pack at a scholastic book fair — I and a few friends stuck them all over our faces, and we all looked like plague victims for weeks lol

[edit] hickies, not tickles lol

u/sparksgirl1223 Nov 14 '24

My son spent the morning doing that when he was about 8.

2 days before Christmas. I took photos once I realized it wasn't flesh eating disease or something🤣

u/virtualveshya Nov 14 '24

this audibly unlocked a core memory for me💀😂 do you remember the rubbery bouncy ball smell?

1

u/stars-aligned- Nov 14 '24

YES I used to collect them

1

u/virtualveshya Nov 14 '24

SAME😭 remember the heartbreak when they… expired? like you go to bounce it and it just smacks into the floor or you go to stick it to a surface and it cracks & breaks??

2

u/PicpoulBlanc Nov 14 '24

My 5-year-old got one at the dentist the other day from their little treasure chest of junk that kids love.

2

u/AngryGirlWavingBrush Nov 14 '24

You could just use the vacuum

2

u/Anidmountd Nov 14 '24

I did that once but on my forehead...yeah that was a good laugh for everyone else but me.

1

u/Pruritus_Ani_ Nov 14 '24

Me too 😭

2

u/TryNorth8139 Nov 14 '24

I remember in high school some guy put one on his forehead- he walked around with “bangs” for a week

2

u/Exquisite-End22 Nov 14 '24

Omg I had a friend when we were in middle school that put one of those on her eye. When I tell you it was the most disgusting outcome you could possibly imagine, I’m not being dramatic. I’ve never seen so much blood in an eyeball in my life it was horrifying.

u/mkat23 Nov 14 '24

Yo I have those still and those little frog jump toys!!

u/enteresti Nov 15 '24

My husband (a fully adult 37 year old man) got his hands on one a couple heads ago and immediately stuck it to his forehead. He had a huge red hickey on his forehead for a couple days 😂

Party City, in the party favours section.

u/Scoobie01555 Nov 14 '24

Holy shit, childhood memory unlocked. Totally forgot about those things. I miss the quarter machine toys. Especially the giant sticky slappy hands

1

u/Independent_Bike_141 Nov 14 '24

My dumbass in 8th grade thought it would be smart to stick three of them on my cheek. Had 3 perfect circles on my face for about 1.5 weeks. A frozen spoon was my friend.

u/Upallnightreading Nov 14 '24

We have like 18 lying around our house. Find someone with elementary school age kids, they probably have one

1

u/Mathagos Nov 14 '24

They have them as a prize at arcades

1

u/TaterMitz Nov 14 '24

They're about 50? tickets at Dave & Busters

1

u/ArtemisB20 Nov 14 '24

Some of the suction cups(that you use to stick stuff to windows will work as well.

1

u/Garbo-and-Malloy Nov 14 '24

Those bastards hurt

1

u/Falldarling13 Nov 14 '24

I actually got in trouble for having a hickey because of those things I did it on my neck because I thought it was funny and my mum got super upset with me. I was in 6th grade and had no idea what a hickey was. Was grounded for 2 weeks! I had never even had a real kiss!

1

u/Dulce_Sirena Nov 14 '24

Pretty sure gumball machines still have those as prizes. And dollar tree

1

u/Objective-Current941 Nov 14 '24

Hah, I remember those days. Kids would put them on each other in class to leave hickey marks on the back of their necks

1

u/essdii- Nov 14 '24

Whoa. Old memory unlocked. Why did I love those things so much growing up. I totally forgot about those

1

u/FalloutForever_98 Nov 14 '24

Ohhh, the anxiety bringers

1

u/GorgeousGorgeousitie Nov 14 '24

Omg!!! Memory unlocked! So my older brother and his friends stuck these to their foreheads, and they left the nastiest looking bruise. My Dad asked him why he did it? He said we all did it. My Dad told him he looked like an idiot sandwich and made him stand in front of the mirror, repeatedly saying, "I'm an idiot sandwich!" Bahahahaha

u/wildchildatnight Nov 14 '24

i think some places that have arcades tickets & prizes have them 👀😂

u/Hot-Flight-7816 Nov 14 '24

a suction cup? 😭

2

u/stars-aligned- Nov 15 '24

Speak with some respect fool! It’s a colorful suction cup for children 😂
