So I'm a tiny bit afraid of spiders. The big ones at least. And by a tiny bit afraid I mean a total coward that wishes I still lived with my mamma so she can save me.
Well I just walked into the living room to eat and read and write a letter to a pen pal, and happened to glance on to a notice on the floor. Lo and behold sitting on top of that notice is the biggest damn hunstman spider to enter my house in a while. I've had a few smaller ones in here, a friend chased one out the other day. Another smaller one has seemingly vanished. Those 2 don't seem so bad now with this one sitting there. And on the FLOOR, the worst place it could be! It's so big, (think, 2 thirds the size of your hand), I'm too terrified to catch it! But my food is in there, the TV is on, all my books are there!

throw things at it?
That sounds terrifying! (((((Evening)))))
I hate spiders too.
maybe grab a few pebbles from outside somewhere and start tossing it at it to make it move, that way you can hopefully move it outside? I tried that once, it worked but it was a long drawn out process. But if no one can come and help, that's the best advice I could give, unless you wanted to wait it out.

I had such a bad night sleep last night because of it, I managed to get something over it, but from that I'm too scared to move it! Where the spider was sitting was just a little strange and 'convenient', so I kept waking up all night.

Oh no, I HATE spiders too!! Especially the big ones. We have a huge problem with gigantic Wolfspiders here. I have a bugsucker, kinda like a handheld vacuum, but it kills bugs by electrocuting them. Works like a charm, unless there's a Wolfspider. Those suckers survive. I got Orkin now, no more spiders. They come every two months and treat the house and the outside. And if I see so much as ONE spider, they'll come back and re-treat for free. LOVE Orkin. The Orkin man is my hero.

I take a shoe and crush our spiders..so heartless but they do not belong in my house. For little ones I just use Kleenex. Even black widows can be crushed. They are lazy spiders.
I know, I know they are frightening but we can take action..then call the Orkin man if needed.

Oh I never kill them, I do find them fascinating, but this particular species give me the absolute jeebies. And as they can have a leg span of up to 15cm, fly spray doesn't cause much to them.

I totally agree with everyone! I hate spiders with a PASSION! I will scream for someone to come kill it when I see one - I just am hoping someone is home to do the duty -LOL! They give the MAJOR creeps! - no matter the size!

Well I got rid of it, I didn't kill it though. My mamma helped me get it outside. It was pretty placid though so it wasn't really any drama. I'm still a little daunted though because of it being on the floor.

There was a spider in my shower yesterday I just showered in the very corner on my tiptoes and as quickly as possible. Of course I didn't notice it until I was already in there. I hate spiders!

I HATE spiders, I am not sure if it is fear, just make my skin crawl,I can't kill them becausse
I can't touch them! No way and if I hit them with something then I would have to touch
Them to clean up the mess, even if they r dead I can't touch them.would make me all
Creepy inside like they r crawling in me,so if there is no one to rescue me I just have to
Watch till they leave,although I have been known to spray them with spray cleaner with bleach they
Don't much like bleach and if I am lucky they will crawl off were I can't see them before
They die.
