I OFFICIALLY Live In The Wrong Damn State...

I am ****ing terrified of spiders.
There is no rational reason behind it but the little bastards just hit some primal area in my brain.

I'm right there with you man. I think that my fear started when I was about 5. I was brushing my teeth in preperation for bed, and I felt something tickling my left calf. When I looked down there was the biggest damn spider that I had ever seen in my short little life. It probably wasn't abnormally big or anything, but what I saw in my eyes was as horrifying.

I still call for my wife to kill spiders when I see them, but now that I have a 4 year old son I find that I kill them for him. Paternal instinct must be a sure enough powerful thing for me to do that.

I'm a lineman, and we are always finding dozens of black widows and brown recluses behind u-guards on ploes, in crawl spaces, and in the yellow plastic guy-guards.

Now, I'll catch snakes and other critters with my bare hands, but even just reading this thread about spiders (especially those like Steyr's garage door web kind) is giving me a case of the eeww-eeees.

Be really nice if we got a good month of 23 degree weather and snow this winter.

Fu%$ winter:



Last winter was final straw for me. Purchased a condo in a nice tropical place and looking forward to it!

No kidding. My entire DNA screams "KILL IT!, KILL IT!, KILL IT!" And there is no way I'm gonna fall asleep until I have tracked and killed it. About a month ago I killed a rather large golden orb spider in my driveway but didn't completely destroy the remains.

After laying in bed for almost 2 hours with imaginary fears of it somehow getting sorted out and walking away I had to go outside at 3 am and completely stomp the shit out of it.

Growing up a friend of mine had tarantulas and I used to play with them and have them crawl on me. But come about 9 years old playing hide and seek and crawled up under a low shelf window awning and hid. After awhile I felt movement, came out and was covered by probably a dozen or so black widows. Nice huh! Now I kill them on sight and am somewhat fearful. I have been bitten by banana spiders, camel spiders, hobo spiders and even a recluse. I lived but "black widows" just cause me to be a little girl.

I use to leave spider's alone til one bit me while I was sleeping last year.

Waking up in the middle of the night yelling jump jeehosifat is not my idea of a good nights sleep.


The worst part was the lil red bump that turned into a puss filled lil blister(yuck) that poped upon seeing a razor blade.


Since then its kill with extreme prejeduce all bug's I see in and around the house.


So Steyr did you get the rest of the spider's yet?

Thankfully, we dont have camel spiders over here. Those things are smart, fast, and all around bad ass.

You mean to tell me you never seen a snow spider?

That snow is such a good workout someone has to move it

It's Florida, simply not possible, especially outdoors. But they do die upon detection.
