Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Love them or hate them?

They give me nightmares, literally :bang: Several times a month I just leap out my bed mid deep sleep, and have to search the whole room.:shake:

I'm particularly not good with the long legged big black ones that scuttle across the carpet / living room faster than me.... not that I scuttle across the living room. I leap. :lol:

I do find it particularly funny when I ask a man to put said spider outside and they're being the big man - when in fact they're cacking their pants

Spiders are lovely :D ... Can't understand why you would search the room though :thinking: Everyone who knows anything about spiders know they prefer to stay in nice warm beds :shrug: ever felt that slightly tickly, itchy, what was that feeling? ..... That's the spiders getting comfy :cool:

:) Forgot to say that apparently on average we all swallow 2 or 3 spiders a year whilst asleep :thinking: something to do with spiders being attracted to the warm breath :D
 
petrified of the buggers, although i held my mates red knee tarantula for almost half an hour without screaming, then she showed me it's teeth :eek::exit:
 
I am with you Sarah

I cant stand the things, I have to get my wife to deal with any spiders that show up.
 
They're lovely furry cuddly creatures. I sometimes find the 8 eyes a little unnerving though.
 
I am absolutely petrified of them if they move towards me, any in the same room have to be evicted, strange thing is I won't have them harmed :thinking:
But put them at the other end of a camera lens and I find them fascinating :shrug:
 
Personally I like them. Now I know that they have lots of eyes I understand why they are so difficult to pick up!
 
I can't stand them personally. However its wasps that send me running in the other direction screming and flapping my arms!

I'm currently resisting posting a picture....

A very big deal for me, normally I wouldn't have thought twice. :D

I nearly did the same thing... I actually managed to have a cross-processed picture of a Cellar Spider printed full-page in a camera mag once! :)

I'm ok with most except the big house spiders... those buggers jump and that's something I find a bit unnerving! ;)

I think you should have called him 'Spike'! :)

Anything that eats wasps is ok with me though. ;)

I love spiders, one of my friends abandoned her car for more than a week when she discovered a tiny one in it though. In the end I had to go over and do a thorough search and just about given her a written guarantee that the spider had left of it's own accord before she would set foot in the car again :lol:
 
best place for a spider is the underside of my shoe.

i was laying in bed one night and something was tickling my chest so i reached down to scratch and i ended up with a handful of spider (one of those big black ****ers that looks like it could mug you). it promptly got thrown somewhere and then the gf made me turn the light on to find where i threw it to and "dispose" of it.

had a similar situation while working in the garage once, something was itchy on the back of my head and it was one of those big black buggers again. im always surprised the neighbours didnt complain at my language that day..

*shudder*

edit - seriously, the word used by father jack is blocked by the swear filter?!
 
I'm scared stiff of the little buggers especially the big ones, but I have a secret weapon.......the cat. Point her in the direction of the movement and off she goes. did back fire once though when she very kindly brought me her catch and dropped it on my pillow......yes it was still alive! I've never moved so quick in my life and screamed so loudly my neighbour thought I was being attacked and called the police! Ooops! luckily they saw the funny side...phew!
 
I'll admit that spiders aren't my favourite beasties but I won't kill them. Most of the time I put a glass over them then slip a card under the glass so I can carry the blighter outside. If the thing's too big to fit under a glass, I use the shovel trick - I whack it on the head with the shovel and while it's holding its head with all 8 legs, I can scoop it up and lob it out!

I wonder if Arkady's got any pics of Camel spiders? Thay're big b'stards!
 
Spiders are ok...though when I was younger and saw the Chamber of Secrets.....I was a little afraid! :lol:
 
Did you know that spiders can see images on CRT TVs just as well as the human eye can see (whereas cats and dogs could only see a single white line).

Just thought I'd share that pointless fact with you.

Anyway, got a joke here. Where does a spider get all it's information from? By looking on the World Wide Web.

Well, I think it's funny.

How can anyone possibly prove that either way? I remember as a kid watching life on earth or whatever and our cat going behind the TV to find the lion that had gone off screen.

What about flatscreen TV's? Can my cat watch that?
 
Our cat watches the telly! Especially anything with birds on, although she tends to ignore the exotic ones that don't look much like her idea of what a bird should look like. She likes snooker too and has been known to go behind the telly to look for the potted balls. FWIW, she's always done this, even when we only had CRT TVs.

There was a story in the paper a while ago about a soldier who accidentally brought one back from Afghanistan in his kit bag. It killed their family dog then disappeared in to the house. They had to move out until it was found. I don't know what the outcome was.
