Me again. And I think we're in spider hell. How the fuck has this happened? And what the actual fuck do I do now?

It's quite simple really, you burn down your house and you run. No other option, burn burn burn. If I saw that in my house I would grab my kids and go to a cold country to live where it was too cold for spiders to even exist! X

freakyspider · 24/02/2018 09:16

Yeah that's my Aibu I guess. Kids enthralled. Dh thinks it's amazing. AIBU to let it out I to the garden when No one's looking?

Do you live in Australia? That is one big spider.

LemonShark · 24/02/2018 09:19

Woah!

When you say farm... do you mean there are several?

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 24/02/2018 09:19

Jesus put a warning in your post, I nearly threw up.

freakyspider · 24/02/2018 09:20

No just the one big one. And, I guess about a million spider babies Shock

No. S E England. I am assured my MN its a normal house spider!!

DevilsDoorbell · 24/02/2018 09:21

THAT IS NOT NORMAL!!!

Agree with others. Burn the house. NOW!

youarenotkiddingme · 24/02/2018 09:21

I've reported to ask MNHQ to add a warning to thread title.

Having Now returned to a normal heart rate - WTAF?

Where is this? What country is this?

And more importantly are you my neighbour and if so can we share a can of petrol? Grin

LemonShark · 24/02/2018 09:21

Do you have something to put next to it to compare sizes?

LemonShark · 24/02/2018 09:22

I don't see why it should require a warning, I'm severely arachnophobia but aware that not everyone is and if you are, and you click on a thread with spider in the title, you kinda get what's coming to you!

Kidssendingmenuts · 24/02/2018 09:23

You have to weigh up the pros and cons here. Either you somehow burn it with a blow torch and live happily ever after or the egg hatches, you have a million of those beasts living in your house and climbing into your mouth while you sleep then you wake up in a spiders web as a cacoon like in the horror films and to be never seen again!
So options...

  1. Burn and live
  2. Become spider fodder to be never seen again!
Lovesagin · 24/02/2018 09:24

Wtf is that???? It's got hairy legs!!!!!!!

Please tell me you're not in the UK, please.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 24/02/2018 09:24

Why on earth would the title need a Warning? I'm pretty sure the word spider makes it obvious what this thread is about. Hmm

AmayaBuzzbee · 24/02/2018 09:24

Where is this spider in your house?

GrannyGrissle · 24/02/2018 09:24

Erm LTB, the DC and that dirty bastard and it's giant egg. Are your family trying to create huge mutant crossbreeds? Is spider farming the mysterious secret MN hobby so many DH partake in?

Lovesagin · 24/02/2018 09:25

Oh you are in the UK.

Time to emigrate

BuffysFavouriteStake · 24/02/2018 09:25

For gods sake don't let it out in the garden if you live anywhere near me! I'd die of fright if I came across that bugger Shock and then haunt you for life
Seriously, what if it's pregnant? You're gonna have a million babies in there! And what evil psychopath invented spider farms anyway? Confused
I think accidentally torching the house may be your only reasonable option here...

freakyspider · 24/02/2018 09:26

It's a spider farm than an ex friend gave DS. A plastic box with small air holes (that I bet those million teeny tiny baby spiders will be able to squeeze through).

We are in England. Sorry!

It's massive. Body about 2 cm long. Legs about 3 or 4.

What do I do???? Argh.

OP posts:
Lovesagin · 24/02/2018 09:27

How big is it? Does it just look massive because of the angle? Did you have zoom on your camera? Please?

PanannyPanoo · 24/02/2018 09:27

or option 3 stick it all in a bowl and take it outside.
Ask a non spider scared friend if you don't want to.

Lovesagin · 24/02/2018 09:28

Xpost.

I dont know what you should do op, I just don't know.

freakyspider · 24/02/2018 09:28

I'm not scared of spiders (mice rats even squirrels yes).

But I've never been faced with this before😱😱😱

JeffJarrett · 24/02/2018 09:29

I'd choose my friends more wisely in the future. I don't think I could sleep with that in the house.

Spider farms... what evil madman came up with that nightmare of an idea and then decided to market it?

Lovesagin · 24/02/2018 09:29

It looks very meatyish :(

UnmitigatedBollocks · 24/02/2018 09:29

A warning?? Fucking ridiculous.

A) The title has the word SPIDER in it.

B) If you’re so scared of a small, harmless creature that even a picture of it gives you the vapours then you need help pronto.

Brace yourself
