Okay... so in the past three days I have encountered FOUR spiders that were considerably larger than a 50c coin. Anything bigger than a pea makes my heart lunge and beat horrendously... so as you can imagine, I am stressed, upset, paranoid and unable to sleep.

I've caught pictures of three of them, the fourth just came at me about 15 minutes ago when I went to open the cupboard for some food. Which means of course, that I now cannot go into the kitchen. I've got a friend coming over tomorrow to help me spray the house down with industrial killer. So... to kill time and to calm my nerves, I've decided to make a thread about the horrors of Summer, spiders...

I swear to God, if I encounter one more, I'm going to lose it.

My only saving point is the fact that the morning before the first encounter I put up cheap fly-screen with duct-tape around my office window. Apparently, this is needed on EVERY WINDOW!!!!!!


You guys seen any lately. :'( :'(

I've always been fascinated with spiders.
I think when I was young my mum bought me a collection of fact cards about all different types of spiders and since then I've liked them.

When I was a kid in Adelaide I locked myself out of the house as a joke and then this huge brown spider came after me and my dad had to jump out the window to stomp it. Then I cried cause he killed my new friend.

I would LOVE to have a pet Tarantula or something but I've never known where to get one.

Another funny story from my brother, he let this spider set up shop on his windowsill next to his computer and it was there for about a year or two and he would feed it bugs he killed etc.
Then one day the spider was dead and he was like: Nooo! My spider!
Then he went to pick it up and it burst open revealing 100s of tiny baby spiders!
It was hilarious!

Man.. you two are weird....

I'm jealous though, I wish I actually could deal with spiders or have some sort of fascination with them. It would make things a lot easier.

There are spiders in your house, under your bed, in your kitchen...

The palm-sized huntsman is your friend, he'll eat the redbacks and white tails.

Spiders fucking rule. They outnumber us, and if they really wanted to, they could get together and kill us in our sleep. Sleep tight Jen & Carmen. Don't anger the spiders.

Get rid of the spiders and we are going to have one hell of a fly problem.

Just had a horrifying experience.... god... ;___;

Grabbed a drink from the fridge, to sit down happily at my desk when as I sat down I noticed a huntsman spider on the fricken wall right next to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Knocked furiously on Mike's desk, and he went and sprayed it, and killed it, and sucked it up into the vacuum cleaner. But the thing is, we had a few annoyed words at each other today.... and so what if he wanted revenge and told me that it was dead and in the vacuum cleaner?!??!

;________;

- Anyway- now I'm too afraid to lean against any surface of my office, and don't want to even comprehend the mere thought that this spider has been in this room for some time now.... why must these things happen to me!!!!! ;_____;
