TW, bloody huge gallopy fucking spider.

I was having a nice day. I worked from home, had a nice dinner, settled down to watch a film with nary a care in the World.

During intermission I decided to go to the loo, and somehow managed to not see THIS WANKER until I was on the throne so to speak. She's approximately the size of a labrador.

She's frozen, I'm frozen.

I live here now don't I?

Pick It up and eat it

There's no seasoning at all in this bathroom except Radox revitalising shower gel.

Are you suggesting I pair this arachnid with zesty sea salt and rosemary?

The revitalising gel is just what you need after the shock you've had.

'Can't lob her out tonight, it's raining.'

That's what they do: hypnotise you with their wavy legs and many eyes. Before you know it they've moved in. I know. I've got one called Ariadne who has lived in my kitchen for 2 years now. Every time I think about putting her out she looks at me and I feel too bad to evict her.

I once had one that sort of size appear beside me when I was sat in bed.

I freaked out, and in my haste to exit the bed with a baby in my arms, I accidentally SAT ON THE FUCKER! I ended up with spider goo soaked right through to my knickers. I showered. A lot. I'm still traumatised... Wouldn't recommend sitting on her.

I'm not sure anyone was recommending that.

However it's now on the list.😁

It’s a male. Females have bigger bums.

Males are smaller (than a labrador) and she might be sensitive about her bum!

Her name is Charlotte and she is coming to show you she has been through some battles and she’s no threat.

Feed her some ham and enjoy a bug free home.

Noooòòo (I'm not sure why the accents happened but they stand).

Charlotte's are the tiny glass-legged ones that live in high corners

This is a gallopy fucker.

You'd hate being at mine then! My bathroom is full of spiders I even check the bath tub before running the water or turning the shower on, so I can scoop them up and rescue them before they drown. There's a spider down the side of my bed somewhere that more often then not ends up on my pillow until I put it back down on the floor again. I did accidentally kill a spider a while back. It must've gotten caught in the sleeve of my pj top and I reached in the arm hole to see what was irritating and scratching my arm. As I pulled my hand my out a squashed spider was on my finger and upon checking my arm I had a fair few bites on it too. I actually cried when I realised I'd killed it. I've always tried to save spiders as much as I can. Shortly after my 4th miscarriage I had a huge spider in my flat and as daft as it sounds I would just sit there for hours talking to this spider although I did state the rules were it had access to every room in the place except my bedroom. It resided happily down in the hole of the airing cupboard floor.

You can't evict an Ariadne by law:

  1. They stay up out of the way
  1. Useful
  1. NEVER SURPRISE YOU WHEN YOU HAVE NO PANTS ON

they're protected because of all that and the fly eating.

The Portuguese believe spiders bring money so, if you manage to survive, I reckon you've got the lottery coming your way!

The amount of spiders I have in my bungalow. I should be millionaire by now then!!

@AlfietheSchnauzer have I entered some kind of parallel universe? You’re the one encouraging people to panic/douse in hairspray a tiny harmless creature and yet you’re also telling people to grow up?? Slow clap for you… … …

Mocking people's phobia is the most immature post on here so far. Slow clap all you like 👍🏻

Desdemona44 · 29/07/2023 00:26

You could stick many loo roll tubes together to create a long cardboard pipe and blow the spider out of the room.

We have a 7 legger in out back porch, she is called peg

😭I don’t know why I read this thread and looked at all the photos whilst going to bed! Just can’t help myself but also gives me the fear. I’m finally at a point where I can deal with spiders as long as not above my head, even catch in a glass, this is after many years of fear. I didn’t want my child to be scared even though I am secretly shutting myself inside. The no slippers on freaks me out the most in this, bare feet and a spider are nightmare stuff for me 🤣 Probably the pants situation is up there too!

@UnctuousUnicorns where the hell do you live? That spiders been on steroids 🤯that one would def be a phone call to my dad

Nobody mocked your phobia. It's not actually happening to you? Yet you advised op to "stamp all over it" as if it was an actual physical threat to you.
You really need to get a hold of yourself.
