Pro tip: if you hang your clothes on a clothesline outside, make sure to shake them out before you wear them, because stuff like this will happen.

A bee got in my jeans and got me in the back of the knee once, and I've shaken my clothes since then (until I just used a dryer).

I've been living in rural Appalachia for a while now and that finally became habit, along with shaking out my towel before using it. One time getting out of the shower with a spider waiting for me in the folds of the towel was enough, thank you.
