    Terrified of spiders.
    Hate them.

    I once jumped out of a car at a stoplight when I saw a spider in the car with me. Luckily my fiance was there to kill it.

    It's sad, but it happens. I found myself sharing the back set with a spider during a long drive to Florida. And though the little spawn of

    Satan couldn't have been any larger than my fingernail, the fact that I saw him and he moved like the flash turned me into a walking

    , talking, 'screaming out my lungs and almost making everyone crash because of my stupid irrational fears' machine...

    Thankfully everyone was kind enough to pull over and gut the car just to find him.

    I like the little guys. In fact, I am the head of the Insect Protection Program. I retrieve them, give them a new identity and relocate them away from threats.

    I used to have a MAJOR spider phobia. I'm getting over it slowly, though.

    I realize that they are very good for killing bugs that really are going to cause me harm and since I became vegetarian, and started really thinking about it, I won't kill them anymore. I always get a cup or something and use a piece of paper to carry them outside. But they usually come out at night and encounter my cats, who are far less compassionate.

    In Florida, though, I do worry about poisonous spiders.

    I don't mind spiders. I like tarantulas. Those funny commercials where the spider beats the guy up makes me laugh.

    The only big problem I see with spiders is that I read a large number of them attracts centipedes. And those do freak me out. Makes me think every time I see a few spiders in my back porch as that is where I find centipedes too.

    I am super afraid of spiders.

    Once I had a spider blocking me and the place that I keep the spider spray. BTW this was a big spider. I sprayed it with sunscreen, spray starch, hairspray still did not kill the bugger so i poured dish liquid, shampoo and it finally stopped moving long enough to smash it. Then i left the house in my pj's and went to my parents house to get ready for work.

    Palmetto bugs creep me out. Any insect big enough to show up on radar is unholy.

    I have been in a car with a spider. Scary. It's just so awful because you just can't get away from it in the car. At least if I see one in my room I can assume that it will eventually travel to the living room...or my mouth.

    They are pretty freaky. Oddly, I don't see them often. Probably because this is north Florida. But they're also not poisonous, so I don't sweat them too much.

    Ah. I used to live in Ft. Myers. They wait for you and try to carry you away when you walk by their evil lair.

    I'm always nervous that I'll accidentally squish them before I can set them free...

    I live in Australia - enough said. Grew up with a Huntsman (big hairy spider) as a pet who lived in the corner of my room and Redbacks as toilet guards... Still scream like a girl when they move too fast though. Or worse, disappear while you go get a shoe to squish em. Now wasps, I could live without...

    I believe it!

    This is also a problem my cats would take care of for me. :-)

    When I was a kid (probably 10 or 11), my bedroom was a little travel trailer that didn't have a door handle - just an open hole where the handle should be. Creepy crawlies would always get in, but they never really bothered me since I had lived in the boonies my entire life.

    Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night one night because I suddenly felt something tickle all over. I turned on the light and, lo and behold, two egg sacks had hatched and I had literally THOUSANDS of baby spiders all over me - head to toe.




    ... oddly enough, I'm still not afraid of spiders.

    I was about to jump into a lovely refeshing pool last year when I visited North Carolina. Just before I jumped, I saw this thing at the bottom of the pool. My friend fished it out and put it on his arm to take a pic. (weirdo)

    *shudder*

    Spiders are negative calorie food as you burn more calories screaming and running away from them than you do digesting them. But this is just another fad low cal diet and unsustainable in the long term :drinker:

    Is that a banana spider? Thankfully, I've never seen one in a house or car but they build HUGE webs in a very short time! Nothing like rollerblading down a bike path early in the morning and nearly colliding with one.
