To wake OH up to get a daddy long legs

[doingmyhead]

Out of the bedroom?

I know I am a wimp but I am proper

I won't be able to sleep unless my head is under the covers and it's way to hot for that tonight!

You're right squoosh, they haven't got the evil intent spiders have, plotting away at how best to fuck you up to revenge their dead relations.

Dlls just remind me of picking special mushies in october before the first frosts, they're everywhere on the grass then.

Age t is right

Im a bit vodkad

Well, you've done really well getting on and posting at all Imnot then

You're probably about three stages on from me

Hope u all finally got to sleep! Cluffy I imagine getting back to sleep after horse incident took a liitle longer than op hubbie did! Had several foxes in house, gotta love living in town! Enjoy the sunshine all!

DLL are evil fuckers. I have a genuine phobia, as well as fish. OMG even reading this I am beyond cringing and looking around in case one jumps out and tries to eat me.

I swore DD wouldn't be the same as I find want her growing up being frightened by insects. Encouraged her as a toddler and kept a lid on my fear if a DLL approached.

Yeah, she's now petrified of everything. Gah.

My mum is like you MrTumble. She doesn't experience it so it doesn't exist. Only it does and regardless of whether it is scientifically "real" or not, it isn't pleasant and I would do anything to not be frightened of a bloody fly

Spiders are great, I name them and have been known to say hello to them

Don't get me started on fish

Well fish don't generally wander uninvited into your house TooTaboo.

That depends on where you live cozie.

Marauding Mackerel ?

I take the point.

YANBU. I am a major league arachnophobe and I wouldn't need to wake DH to remove one: I would scream the house down, in fact I have been known to ask him to check rooms before I go in if its spider season.

I can cope with any insect, Mosquitos, spiders (yes I know they're not insects ) even the big ass roaches where I used to live, but faced with a daddy long legs I come over all vommy.
They are just shit. They are spectacularly badly designed, look stupid flying, and would be venomous but for the fact that their ridiculous fangs are too weak to bite.
Daddy long legs are stupid. Stupid!

DH is the designated daddy long legs catcher here. But I can't bear to watch him do it, as he actually walks up to it and plucks it out of the air/off the wall with his hand!

How? How can someone do that?

perplexedpirate , did you see this comedy bit too? Your post reminded me of it.

Get a cat, Solari. (If you don't mind the sound of crunching.) They have a special fondness for DDL.

Yanbu for getting DH to do it but Yabu to call them Daddy Long Legs..Dll's are spiders and don't fly. The flying things are crane flies I think.

Arrrgh cozietoesie! Although, I did live with someone who had a cat once. They did eat all the spiders, but had a bad habit of regurgitating them onto the carpet in pieces, to be stepped on in a squishy mess in the dark of night.

I would actually have a heart attack if a fish.wandered into my house.

I can't walk through the fish market in town, I get shaky at the thought!

Not normal me!

I think it better not to ask how this fish phobia arose.

Not a clue. My psyche is a strange and multi layered bottle of weird, obviously!

I can tell you how my fear of spiders started.....

MIL comes rushing into our bedroom to get hubby to kill one in the spare room when she was staying there..... we were "busy" at the time - I was MORTIFIED!!

Her response - without even flinching was "Oh, when you are done son, can you get rid of this spider in my room?"

Oh my!
