AIBU?

irresponsible spider owners should be shot along with dog/cat/gerbil owners/smokers etc.

I'm sorry. I believe it may have re-homed itself from my apple tree prunings today.

i agree, whoever owned the monster spider that crawled into bed with me on wednesday can come and retrieve the remnants from my bathroom bin.

Have convinced myself it has crawled up my pj pants now!!! Ooh the horror. Will be posting leaflets through all the houses in the street tomorrow outlining the importance of responsible spidering. (new word - spidering).

Look, just because my house is a bit unkempt does not mean I have taken on ownership of the spiders who live here.

I once had a nasty shock when I moved the piano, and saw in the dust the most hideous six inch long clawed beast nestling in the dust.

It turned out to be a child's plastic lobster.

The thing is, you can't train spiders like you can dogs. You can put down litter trays all you like, but the fact is, they just choose to run around the neighbours' geranium beds, and there's nothing you can do about it.

On the plus side, they're quite independent and catch their own food.

I have been counting the spiders in my garden. They are all accounted for. That's a relief.

Booyhoo - Shock - I would quite literally have fainted.
A spider in the bed!!!
I was bad enough the other day when a big hairy sod was slumbering on the cornice. I had to keep a vigilant eye on it in case it ran away and hid Shock

We once found a toad in the house. It was in a bucket of coal.

There was a posse of other slugs slowly approaching wearing tin hats, I believe he had lost 3 brothers...
