Still shaking...

I hate spiders. I've always worn loose PJ bottoms to bed. I love them. They're soft. They're loose. They're comfy. Okay. Well there was this -huge- wolf spider that skittered across the kitchen floor. My old dog, Chance, tried to get him, but Chance is old and doesn't do much but lay around. So I sit on the living room floor and drink my milk. And I feel something skitter against the bottom of my leg. I quickly pinch the moving thing, and go into the bathroom to immediately strip myself of my PJ bottoms. It was the big freeking wolf spider that I had squished by my thigh. "Well. Spiders dead." "Oh yeah? Who got him?" "Me. He crawled up my pants!" Which then proceeds to send my parents into fits of laughter. I'm sorry, I don't find that funny considering I'm sitting here shaking about to vacuum my room [and my PJ bottoms... after I wash and sterilize them, of course]. I hate spiders. They creep me out. They crawl into my bed at night. I saw a black widow and had nightmares about them being under my pillow. They crawl on my walls and come in attached to the dogs... -shudders-

That sounds horrible! Hilarious, but horrible when you think about it happening to you. Once I was sitting in bed, just watching a movie and minding my own business when this huge, fat brown spider starts crawling up the wall. I saw it in my peripheral vision and just stared at it in horror until I finally threw a shoe at it. A few nights later, the same thing happened, except in my house, spiders aren't really that common, especially not that humongous one. So I was under the impression that there was a nest of baby spiders coming to attack me and slept on the couch for a week. They're just so creepy and get my shuddering at the thought of them >.<

xD, at our old house we had this bathroom and while we were away a spider laid her eggs in the shower. Every-time you would get into the shower the little spiders would be crawling all over the shower, freaked me out. I also have a sever phobia of snakes. I had a dream one night I was in a stable with this Shetland Pony and I stepped outside and there was every kind of snake you could image outside. I woke up ran out of my room and headed for the couch.

I hate this time of the year just because they come in to nest. There was one hanging off of a web on our front porch that looked like he could eat you for dinner for a few weeks. I'd always flip on the porch light and peek my head around the corner before moving outside to the bus stop. We have the really bad poisonous spiders here, especially the brown recluse. There was one crawling by my shampoo bottle that scared me. I can't see without my glasses, so it really scared me considering I just about touched it. Now that I think about it, it was pretty funny. But. I think there's a better place for crawling than up my pants. I mean, really. I feel bad for killing the bugger.

I don't like spiders, but I hate to kill them, you know? xD

I love spiders, and welcome a couple into my room as long as they aren't the kind that make big messy webs. My brother hates spiders though. He'll just about have a complete heart attack from seeing one inside. The only two bothersome bugs to end up in my pants were fire ants(very painful, and gave me chills), and a paper wasp(also painful). As much as I adore invertebrates, it's really no fun to have them in your pants. :x

Maxxy · November 2010

Ooh fire ants. I picked up a big twig once and didn't realize it was hiding about a hundred of them till they started trying to crawl up my arm. As for the brown recluse spider, I saw something on animal planet about those. Be careful

Half the spottings of 'brown recluse' spiders aren't brown recluse spiders anyway. xD Because, well. They're recluses. Avoid humans like the plague we are. More likely they're a Southern male house spider or something of the sorts. xD We get spiders here all the time. Our house was infested with house spiders when we moved in. The long-legged, recluse-look-alikes and the black, stocky wolf spider look-alikes. Thankfully most of them have vacated thanks to us living here, and Kira. Kira is our exterminator.

But our outside is still HORRID with brown widows. I've caught two in our mail box, at least sixteen making nests in our back porch (I refuse to go out there and clean them up because, well. There's a ton of spiders, a ton of egg nests, and they're poisonous. So no thanks.) and don't even get me started on the ones in our storage space outside. We've caught spiders in clothes, bathrobes, our bed, folded blankets... If it makes you feel better, when I first moved here I put on Vincent's bathrobe, and felt something brush my arm. I flung it off, checked, saw nothing, and assumed it was a loose string. Put it back on, felt it moving, flung the robe back off, shook it, threw it, and grabbed my external hard drive to promise the creepy 50-cent-piece sized spider death. I thought it too was a brown recluse but after much Googling and comparison turns out it was just a common house spider. =3 They look nearly identical except for the number of eyes they have.

Hahaha! My coonhound Gabe likes to play with the wolf spiders in my basement. every once in a while he brings one upstairs. That's when I resort to my giant fly swatter that is on top of the fridge

Once at the lake we found a big spider thats body was about like two quarters stuck together. And its legs were like 2 inches long each. It scared me half to death. I just froze and sceamed at my mom and she was like "I bet its not eve big. OHMYGOSH!" And then she had to yell for my dad. That thing was scary whatever it was. Ive never had a spider crawl up my pants, but Ive had ticks do it. That is no fun either.

SunnyDaysDontLie · November 2010

I don't care what kind of spider they are. I don't like creepy crawlies. I love reptiles. I love them. I hate spiders, millipedes, centipedes, etc. But. I find like eighteen spiders in my room a month, and that doesn't fly with me. At all. I vacuumed my sheets and everything. I didn't let my dog sleep with me, either. And then I had dreams that involved spiders and everything. D;

Howdy, Stranger!
