YANBU at all!!!

SameTimeNextWeek · 23/08/2022 00:24

Urgh, I have one too. Send him my way when he's done please 😱😱😱😱😱😱

YANBU.

DP deals with all the spiders as he isn't scared of them like I am. He is scared of snakes but we don't get those slithering out from under the sofa.

I'm thinking about getting one of those spider-catcher things. Just watched a TikTok where it was successfully used to catch a whopper of a house spider.

It's "not doing any harm" apparently.

He'll change his tune tomorrow morning when the big hairy bastard has taken over the world. Or at least eaten his golf clubs.

Why can't you deal with it?

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 23/08/2022 00:39

You should be embracing feminism and looking after yourself!
Why are you relying on a man to deal with a fucking insect???
( She said after screaming at the top of her voice and running away when an enormous, vicious, carnivorous, venomous and evil spider scuttled nonchalantly past the dog's bowl.)
And yes... it looked at me!!!!!!!! 😱😩

Why can't you deal with it?

Because it's got it in for me. It glared at me when I dared to go for a wee earlier. It's taken against me.

You know how you can get a vibrator to replace men in bed?? Well it turns out you can replace most tasks you'd hope to rely on a man for with a phallic shaped plastic object.

I leave them be. They eat other bugs.

avamiah · 23/08/2022 00:48

I actually leave them alone as well unless they are in my bed then that’s a different matter.😱

Longdistance · 23/08/2022 00:49

Whack it with his golf clubs.

AuntTwacky · 23/08/2022 00:50

Pics please!

toomuchlaundry · 23/08/2022 00:52

@wherearebeefandonioncrisps our dog would have eaten it!

RhubarbMoon · 23/08/2022 00:55

It's "not doing any harm" apparently.

This won't do for me. If it's by the kitchen sink then I simply don't be able to use the kitchen sink until it's gone. Ditto if it's by the toilet, I won't be able to use it without hysterically crying.

I used to be incredibly spider phobic. Then i started dating a man with 3 pet tarantulas! Admittedly he had to rehome them before we met in person (pandemic rules) but i have found myself incapable of hurting them now, infact, twice i've willingly let small ones climb on my finger to move them from danger. I even bought him the cutest little eyelash spider for his birthday. She's bright yellow with lovely lashes like a pair of falsies Grin

KatySp · 23/08/2022 02:08

@JammyThing in that case YANBU. It's one thing dealing with a spider, it's a completely different story when it's glaring at you.
