A great big spider has just run over my face

Minding my own business, tucked up in bed and dropping off when the great big twat ran right over my face. We looked right at each other for a good two seconds, just millimetres from my fucking eye, and just long enough for me to realise what was happening. Then it legged it down the duvet quicker than Usain going for another gold.

Now he is MIA and I am on a chair armed with a pint glass. I never kill them, just catch and relocate them but it was bloody huge and I am wide awake. I’ve moved all the furniture, the duvet, everything. Where the fuck did it go?!

I thought they were too scared of humans to come anywhere near them.

That Spider House spider expert is a big fucking liar.

It’s in my hair laughing itself shitless at me, isn’t it? Sad

Last week I had the joy of a large spidery fucker abseiling down from my ceiling light straight onto my bed. Luckily DH caught it mid air and the twat was out the window before you could say Mount Everest (arachnid, not husband)

@Anordinarymum

OP Please don't kill it. This from someone who would be shit scared if it happened to me. Do you know they are blind ? Get a glass and a piece of paper and chuck the poor thing out.

LOL

Blind, blind!! Why do the fuckers have eight eyes if they’re blind.

Ive got a slightly stupid JRT who loves to squash spiders but then you can't fuss him as he has spider carcass on his neck from where he smoooshes them into the floor.

I tripped over a huge spider at work one night, it was huge. It just looked at me and ran off.

Get some spider traps. They are attracted by the pheromones and get stuck to it. You then squish them or in my case get dh to do the deed. If I lose one I always do this and they are caught really quickly. I have them in the corner of rooms when spider season is upon us.
I know people will be along to tell me I am cruel and they dont hurt you etc etc but really after 50 odd years of trying to overcome my fears I have given up . I console myself that I am stopping them breeding and eating each other afterwards.

I thought opening my mailbox and having a black spider with neon green fangs jump towards me was traumatic! I think I'd have to be peeled off my ceiling if I had that happen to me!
