To ask DH to remove the spider?

I'm not really bothered by spiders an I would move it myself but I can't reach it as I'm short arse. Said spider is girt and is sat on the bedroom wall looking at me.
The only reason I would like it gone is that we had a similar situation in Africa with a huge spider:
Havin had food poisoning, DH was up in the sitting room with the duvet from the spare room. There was a massive spider on the wall.
In the morning, I cleared away the duvet and went to breakfast. It was only when we returned from breakfast that I felt something on the back of my leg... I rolled up my trousers to see some very big, hairy legs waving at me from behind my knee. Needless to day, I was not a happy bunny.
So (and sorry for he long post), AIBU to ask DH to remove said spider from our bedroom just in case it ends up in our bed or in my clothes?

Shit. Are you in Africa now? Just kill it. Spray it with flash bleach or something. Hate the things.

Well I know a lass who I used to work with who (genuinely I promise I know her personally and am Not just copying an urban myth) had spiders in her ear

I live in fear Of this. I'm scared of them getting everywhere. I can't sleep without knickers on either for fear Of things crawling in dark places Blush

Of course YANBU! That's what men are for, and I really don't care how sexist that is. Is he refusing? If so, leave the bastard. Now.

Just this minute removed one big cow sized spider from the front room, screaming silently inside whilst my teenage Ds sat squealing. Same thing last night. Where are you, I'll come and save you.

Never mind spiders, we've got SLUGS! Bastards creep in through tiny gaps from yard into utility room, last night I scooped five out making their way towards cat's food bowl. Yeuch.

Ewww I found a slug on my kitchen windowsill the other day...it left a trail on my washing up sponge Sad

parno · 29/08/2012 00:27

Don't get me started on the bloody slugs.

Zombie crunched a snail when she closed the sash window a couple of nights ago.

Earlier this evening she heard DZH making very strange noises. When she went to enquire what was wrong, he gibbered told her that there had been a VERY LARGE spider on one of the shirts he had just brought upstairs. Said spider was now residing in the bath. Zombie went to look. She regretted that impulse. Shelob incarnate.

I'm confused to fuck now?

Are you not Zombie or are you someone else using her/his account? Confused

i have to do Moth watch for my dd's every night and check all shoes for spiders. I dont really mind them I have two in my bedroom right now, not huge ones, just maybe 3cm. But we do get those fecking huge mamas from time to time and i do have a glass and bit of paper on standby. As a single parent , i had to grow a pair and deal with them. I don't even mind the ones with the wee ball body and massive legs that dont move for days, its the ones that run that get me. Luckily my dog is a good spider hunter.

IamtheZombie · 29/08/2012 00:43

Zombie is indeed Zombie. She normally posts in the third person. Because she's a strange Zombie. Grin

WorraLiberty · 29/08/2012 00:51

Oh right Grin

Fuck that's totally annoying Grin

imperialstateknickers Salt around the holes may help with your slug problem.

Can of Raid. Hoover. Done.

DH thinks I'm joking (or doesn't care) that I married him because I need someone to kill spiders.

He says I have a 'problem' that needs to be 'cured' by 'facing up to my fears'

I laugh in the face of cures ... And then beg & nag & cry and shake & refuse to come to bed or ever do a BJ again

YADNBU & neither am I ;)
