Snake in the car?

I will begin this with the statement that 'I am not a fan of snakes'!  Some of you who read this might actually be fans and or are interested in them.  It bears repeating that I am not a fan of snakes!  We seem to have various ones 'visit' our back yard each year even though we have large dogs.  I have to shake my head when I tell someone that we had seen a snake and they inevitably ask 'What kind was it?'  My consistent answer is 'I don't know, I refuse to get down on their level, look into it's eyes and introduce myself and ask what kind it is!"  I share all of this as a preface to today's story.  I had to run an errand during my lunch time today and as I was turning my car onto a very busy road I happened to glance at the floor board in front of the front passenger seat.  Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted what I thought was a snake and it moved!  I did what any person in their right, albeit terrified mind, would do, I looked the other way and almost wrecked my car.  Thankfully I did not have nor cause a car accident.  I did think that I needed to confirm my suspicions because I would need to stop the car and abandon it at the very least.  When I looked again I found that what I saw was the charger cord to my cell phone and the reason that it had moved was because I was turning the car!  Duh!  When I shared with my husband what had happened he reminded me that my car was set pretty high off of the ground so it would have to be a pretty big snake to have gotten into my car.  I agreed which is why I almost wrecked my car!
