Ewwww... though I'm okay with spiders.

forget that little spider you should see the huntsmans we get over here, the pics on google are the ones from in the suburbs they get bigger out in the country

Better that than the tick I had on me Dx *shudder*

Last time I found a spider crawling on me in my bed. I started jumping around screaming, then ran into the bathroom. My step-dad got it and killed it. But I washed my sheets, and cleaned my room before I could go to bed. >>

LOL at least you didn't have to deal with this (not at my place)

Eewww! @_@ Grossness!

These are my sentiments exactly. Even snakes - which have NO legs - are my favorite, but going beyond four is where the gross factor comes in.
I've always been brave to the point where I'll get close enough to squash a spider with a shoe or, if it's small, with a paper towel... But I usually get someone else to clean it up, then avoid wherever the spider was for the rest of the day. xD There was one time back when I was living with my dad and watching tv with him, and a spider came right down from the ceiling on his little silk string. right. in front. of my. face. I was crying for like an hour after that. ;;
Luckily we're in a second-story apartment now, and any sort of bugs are few and far between. That guy in the picture is a gnarly beast. I can't imagine staying cool with that on my wall. D=

erm, echo, for those of us that are SERIOUSLY spider-phobic in the future could you hide something like that behind a spoiler tag? Cause now I'm not going to be able to sleep with the lights off. Ever.

I had a LOT of experiences with spiders...that's because we have about 5 trees at home and 6 other species of plants XD
What I do when I encounter them? I simply squish them...or just ignore them (most likely ignore them).

That little baby spider is nothing. I squish little buggers like that all the time at my house, often in my bedroom!

The ones that really terrify me are the huge black and yellow ones that make these massive webs in our backyard!

House spiders don't really bother me, though. I just shout for someone to bring me a fly swatter and smack 'em until they don't twitch anymore! Sometimes I resort to the sprays that shoot a deadly stream of toxins (not the awful misting kind) if they retreat to a tight space before I obtain a weapon, but I try to avoid that since I don't like waiting for my room to air out afterwards.

lol you guys make me feel like a chicken XDX We don't normally get any spiders bigger then an eyelash so I guess I'm easily freaked out? *shrug* at least I never have to worry about tarantulas D';

No, it's pretty normal Fizzy. :3 You're no chicken.

I have a "Spider-Story" for all of you.

My boyfriend and I were hanging out in his house yesterday, just cuddling. All of a sudden he looks behind me and goes:

"HOLY SHIT!"

I turn and what do I see?

The. Biggest. Spider. EVER.

I'm not afraid of spiders, but when they come out of nowhere I'm just like:

"JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!"

XD

One of the last places I lived was like an open ground for bugs. It was en entirely cement block house that the doors didn't quite reach the ground on. We had spiders and other bugs crawling all over. Like not so much that you couldn't walk around them, it's just that I couldn't go a full day without seeing one. My roommate would shout so I'd come and squash them. They didn't bother me in that house. But now that I don't live around them all the time - I'm back to being constantly frightened of them.

Yesterday I was coming home from work with my boyfriend, and I stopped on the porch facing away from the front door of our apartment to set some stuff down. My boyfriend was like, "Hold on, don't turn around." I said "Why?" and he said to just trust him. Then I hear "THUMP" and he says it's okay to turn around now. When I do, there's a HUGE brown smear on the wall next to the door. I'm usually pretty obstinate and I'll do things just because someone tells me not to, but man, am I glad I didn't turn around. o_o I will not, however, go anywhere near the jacket that he used the sleeve of to kill that spider until it's good and washed.

Spiders are sooooo evil!!!! I am so scared of them.

i'm not a fan of spiders. my husband is certain they're amassing an army to get him. the bigger they are, the more i don't like them. i don't mind those tiny red strawberry spiders, or even daddy long-leggeds. but anything beyond that... yeah, i'd much rather not have them anywhere near me if i can avoid it.
