Fucking Spiders!!! :(

[Northwoods_Dom]

Ok..I am for the most part a big scary guy, so my wife tells me.

But....spiders give me the woogies!!! Can't stand the sneaky little bastards!

I say squish em all!

 

[WriterDom]

Oh you'll know soon enough if you got bit by one of those things. I know from experience.

Spiders eat mosquitos. Which means they are my sworn enemies' enemy, making them my friends. I think eventually I'll have to clean them out, though, they are just becoming too many for my apartment and hopefully mosquito season will be over soon.

 

[northwoods_sub]

Spiders scare the daylights out of me. However like most things that scare me I am fascinated by them. If I have the chance for them to not sneak up on me I will watch them for hours.

I do find them useful though, like chris9, when I lived in So. Cal. I let spiders live in my house (not the icky black widows though they had to die right now) it was the only way that I was able to control the fire ants. *shrug*

My old swim coach used to like spiders...killing them anyway. Until she stepped on one and all the little babies on the underside went running up her leg.

*passes out at the thought*

I hate them.. hate them.. scared of even pictures of them... it's not rational..but then most paranoia isnt rational.. Ask Malin.. my usual reaction is to either scream and cry or just point and scream "SPIDER!" until either Malin comes to kill it or.. as pitiful as this is.. until one of the cats kill it.. no lie...

Thank Gawd it wasn't a snake. Heaven knows what our Betticus would be requiring now. You know it's best to spit the poison out don't you ?

Just sayun

SPITTERS ARE QUITTERS!!!

hee hee

 

[graceanne]

I don't like or dislike spiders. I leave them alone, cause they kill flies - which are flat out nasty. Anything born in poop gets killed in my house. My kids are afraid of spiders, but I think they just look for a reason to scream and run around. What squicks me is centipedes. *shudders*

I'm the same way. When my husband and I were first married I came home to find a spider in the middle of the living room rug. He, of course,was at work. What did I do? I got a glass and put it over the damn thing until it was time for him to come home an had him deal with it.

My best friends boss, Chelsea, caught a spider at work the other day. she put it in a glass and left it in her office until she got off, when she was gonna let it loose. One of the regulars (my friend works in a bar) snuck into her office while she was in the bathroom and switched glasses, then let the spider out outside. Chelsea went into her office to find and empty glass, and jumped to the obvious conclusion - the spider had escaped and was loose in her office.

My friend walked into the bathroom to find Chelsea stripping, sure that it was on her somewhere (she'd already torn her office apart trying to find it). M let her know what John had done. Chelsea was SO pissed. LOL

Oh my gosh That poor girl! I would have been pissed too!

Yeah, John got cut off for the rest of the evening.

The moral? Don't piss of your bartender or her boss.

Word of advice, black widows live up to their name. Don't scene with them.

Have you seen the spider bite video? ewwww....

 

[graceanne]

Have you seen the spider bite video? ewwww....

No. do I want to? HELL NO. I do not like watching things that make people go 'eww'.

 

[vffan]

Yeah, it's pretty gross. I won't even go into detail or point you in the direction.

 

[LittleJade]

*shudder*

Much as I absolutely HATE spiders (and we get some NASTY fucking buggers up here), I am the spider killer in the relationship.

My honey... all 6'5", 235lbs of him, hockey player and all... is TERRIFIED of them. When he finds one, he comes running to me with a shoe or a hockey stick or something, and then drags me to the area of the spider, and points.

If I don't kill the spider, he like, whines.

*grin* It's actually incredibly cute.








Ahem. But I never told any of you about it.

 

[Netzach]

As long as it's not poisonous, I'm cool with it. And it's probably not.

M likes them less than he'll admit. If I'm not there he kills them. If I am he has to catch and release, or I will.

We had a jumping spider in our stove, it was a Major Event. I had to ID it to his satisfaction to catch and release it, he thought it had to be poisonous.

They are intimidating looking with those shiny green jaws.
Spiders are cool.

But moths and mice will make me stand on a chair and scream.

 

[Homburg]

Ahem. But I never told any of you about it.

*snickers*

 

[Puman]

That was bloody brilliant! LOL

I have a very simple rule in regard to creepy crawlies and my house...

"You have an entire garden to play in, if you cross the threshold of my door, you take your life in your hands"

 

[Luvkitty33]

Spiders give me the MAJOR creeps!!!! When I was growing up, Dad was the official spider killer for all his women (Mom, me, and my two sisters...no boys!). As we got older, my youngest sister and Mom decided they didn't like the idea of killing the spiders so now that house is full of them.

The WORST part of it though is that my parents' house now has a bunch of black widows!! Every time I go to visit I'm told that I'm crazy for walking around barefoot! They used to just be in the garage, but they decided they liked the family room instead.........especially this antique piano we have in that room.........it's their favorite hotel.

I've tried to get my parents to get an exterminator, but my mom is SO worried that the poison would kill my little dog that lives with them, so she won't hire one. I've tried to explain so many times that there are exterminators that use stuff that won't hurt my furbaby, but she's convinced. So........the black widows remain.

Just typing this, I got the chills, LOL!!! I appreciate and respect spiders, but I DON'T want them in my house or anywhere near me!!!

Cat...those pics you took are amazing!!!

WD.....How and when did you get bit by a brown recluse spider? What happened? I'm glad that you're ok!! That's scary!!

 

[popcorn2721]

Spiders are cool.
Now, there have been individual animals that I've been afraid of, but there are bad members of every breed. There was a horse I knew that was like that. Meanest damned critter I've ever seen.

A buddy of mine had a horse that got a kick out of hurting people. This thing would drop his shoulder and throw whoever was riding. When my friend hit the ground it stepped in and bit him high on the inside of his thigh. He said it brought tears to his eyes. His dad wouldn't let him put him down but, did after he got bit on the back sell the horse...
Its funny that most people don't think of horses being mean.. I guess some just got the streak of evil in them.

Spiders don't even give me the willies though, cant think of anything right off the bat that does. I don't really care for some humans.

 

[Luvkitty33]

I don't really care for some humans.

LOL!! Yes, animals are much easier to love and be loved in return that many humans.

Have you seen the spider bite video? ewwww....

I have....every spider in my house has a shortened life expectancy. That is not gonna happen to me.
