There's was a spider on me!!! A huge spider!!

[cricketmum84]

So kids and DH have gone to bed. I'm up with a G&T watching some crap about reality tv.

Went to the loo and thought there was one of those little moths fluttering on my lacy dress. Looked again and realised IT WAS A SPIDER. A FUCKING MASSIVE HUGE GINORMOUS SPIDER!

It was so big that then I brushed it off with the loo roll I had ready in my hand it actually made a noise when it hit the floor.

WIBU to burn my house down???

No, burning down the house would be the first thing I do, followed by leaving the country and moving to somewhere without spiders.

OMG it was awful. All brown and leggy. I'm actually shaking!

YABU he was just welcoming a fellow housemate, he wanted to say hello 🕷

I don't mind the ones who say hello from the corner!! It's the ones who climb my clothes to say hello to my face I don't like!!

Burn it down right now! CF things think they own the world these days! One actually stopped and looked at me as it ambled across my kitchen floor earlier, fortunately I had sturdy shoes on and squished said CF. I thought late summer was spider season?

@cricketmum84 they are just like “hello mummy, cuddle me please” 🕷

@Alicewond noooooo I don't want to cuddle them!! Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many legs. Omg the thought is sending me into goosebumps! Evil little multi legged bastards

I will admit though I was very careful where I stepped as I wouldn't want to kill them. I'd just rather they didn't take up residence on my tits 😂

Spiders are gorgeous, amazing creatures. They help you more than you realise. Your home would be overrun with bugs if they weren't around.

This would be my worst nightmare! I wish I wasn’t scared of them as I know the good they do, but I can’t help but feel instant terror when I see one. If I had a massive house spider on me i’d have a heart attack!

Absolutely horrendous. I would literally play that back for years.

@cricketmum84 from all the spiders out there “mummy it’s ok, I’m coming to cuddle you in your bed” 😂

I still have flashbacks from a similar experience about 20 years ago. Horrible. And no amount of 'they are more scared than you' or 'they eat flies' will cure me.

I remember closing my curtains and something caught the corner of my eye but I thought nothing of it. Turned around and saw in the mirror something on my jumper. Looked down, fucking massive spider. MASSIVE. I never wore that jumper again and have checked every pair of curtains I've ever closed since (it was 1998). You have my sympathies.

What a lovely spider it sounds. I love spiders and as I live in North Yorkshire and not Brazil I am never unduly concerned by their presence.

I like spiders but even that would have freaked me. I once trod on a crunchy one barefoot, where it was lurking on our dark bathroom tiles 🤢

But still, it’s gone off somewhere and hopefully it will be happily eating critters for you without showing it’s face much more. Practice out of sight, out of mind 😁

Feel sorry for them. People scared of them mainly because of how they move and look. They do no harm...

Pic didn’t attach...

Haha! Like I say I have no issue with them being here eating the critters. I just would rather they didn't climb me!!

Funny thing is we were out yesterday and there was meant to be a critter type show and I had built myself up to holding a tarantula. The critter show ended up being cancelled. Maybe my dress spider knew and didn't want me to miss out??

Oh god, I remember being stood at the sink, DH walked in and said "oh, er, um just keep still a minute". Turned my head to ask why and saw the biggest spider casually walking over my shoulder. Scarred for life, must have been about 15 years ago but still remember it clear as day

This happened to my mum. She was sitting on the sofa, watching TV, when all of a sudden she jumps us screaming, flapping around everywhere. Turns out she had an itchy head, like something was moving in there, she itched it, and when she pulled her hand back down there was a MASSIVE black spider partially in her hair and partially on her hand.

She had very dark, very thick, curly hair at the time....

I was in a hotel restaurant a couple of months ago and felt something on my lip. I thought I had a hair stuck on my lipstick so went to brush it away and a daddy long legs fell on the table. No idea how long it had been sat on my face. 10 minutes later I felt a tickle on my arm and the bloody thing was crawling up it. I couldn’t relax for the rest of the night.

Please don't squish spiders they don't mean to scare you. A glass and some paper would do the trick.

Please don’t post photos
