Just been to the loo to do what I needed to do - just sat down to do it - turned around to flush and there was an enormous spider in there - how did it get there - flushed about 6 times but the bugger kept on moving - shoved bleach down there in the end which seems to have sorted it - hate spiders - was I unreasonable to bleach it?

Fight or flight instinct kicks in. You fear it so you killed it.

I mean..yes? No? I dont really know. Its your fear level..

Im afraid of spiders but i usually get a glass and out them out side (usually while screaming the entire time) because as much as I dislike them I HATE flies even more and would rather they stick around to catch those fuckers.

Depends on who you ask and where they stand with keeping animals safe.

honestly I’d be more scared about myself than anything… you weren’t unreasonable, but I’d say you would have been if you hadn’t even flushed it beforehand..

are you living in Australia? All my Aussie friends tell me horror stories like this…

YANBU.
