spiders

[bertha katzenengel]

I put my face out the sliding glass door last night to call for Daddy, and when I pulled my head back in I saw a spider as big as a quarter in the door track about two inches from my right eye. :scared:

When Daddy came in, I used a little stick to coax it outside the door so I could shut it without killing the little thing.

Of course, the cats would've preferred I let the spider in. They love treats that wiggle and are crunchy on the outside, and . . . you know the rest.

1. My number 1 phobia

At first I was so fearful of them I couldn't even kill them. Now I just get mad and HAVE to kill them.

2. I kill spiders if they are in the house

and they are not near the door where I could get them out easily.

Of course, that is in part due to the fact that my daughter would let out a blood curtling scream (and has) if she saw one in her room (3 yrs old).

3. I don't freak out...but the spider dies...

I come from fiddleback/brown recluse, and black widow country. I don't take chances.

4. Depends on the size of the spider

Little ones don't bug me at all, or daddy longlegs, etc.

But back when we had a little sleeping cabin in a private campground, I looked up and there was a wolf spider that was about 3" in diameter dangling just above my head. It retreated behind some insulation before I could squash it. My wife and I slept in the cab of the truck that night....

5. I'm not really bothered by spiders

A wasp will send me running but for some reason spiders don't freak me out much. :shurg:

6. Other - my hands are sweating and I will have the chills

for the rest of the day just reading your post. I don't generally kill them (probably because I'm too wigged out to do that) and I appreciate their place in my garden if not my home but they are my unreasonable ridiculous phobia. Bleh.
