    Mind them less and less as time goes on, harmless little buggers in Ireland for the most part.

    One was crawling on my hand having the craic yesterday, fair play to him.

    Found one of those really spindly lanky spiders walking across my bare boobs in bed a few weeks ago:eek:


    Go on.....

    Go on.....

    Not much to tell really. I coaxed it on to the floor, trapped it in a pint glass and put him out the window to continue on with his spidy work of killing insects. We keep a pint glass upstairs for putting spiders out:)

    Relax, it's only a spider. Just pop him in your mouth and be done with it.

    I'm deathly afraid of spiders. A couple of weeks ago I was about to leave for work when I felt a tickle on my shoulder blade. There is a mirror by the front door so I turned around already panicking to see this giant spider, like 4/5 inches in diameter. One of those horrible house spiders with the thick legs that you usually only see around August/September. I freaked out, he was just out of reach for me to brush off too. So I was screeching in the hallway for a good 5 minutes dancing around trying to brush my back off the banisters on the stairs before I eventually spotted him on the ground. I'd say I looked ridiculous, was absolutely terrifying tho.

    Don't worry, that's just an urban myth ;)

    Exactly. It's 5 per night.




    Not afraid of spiders, but if I see one, it has to die. More of a territorial thing than anything else.

    I bet there are no flies on you though.

    I'm another that hates flies more than spiders. I especially hate them tiny flies that fly with their body vertical and just hover in front of your face trying to annoy you. There's nothing you can do about them because they're so light when you swipe at them the air pressure automatically moves them out of the way. then they just come back flying in your face like they're challenging you. I'd like to have some sort of jumping nose spider that could come out and kill the fly as needed.

    They never seem to be able to catch the Bluebottles, horrible yokes and hard to kill.

    Last saturday morning, my sleep-in was interrupted by a the tickle from a spider running up my chest. I woke up in fright, realised it was running across to the pillow for cover so quickly grabbed it. Went to the bathroom, wrapped it in toilet paper and threw it down the bowl. Then I took a piss on it, cleaned up and went back to bed.

    Any 8-legged fecker that invades my personal space should expect death. And a posthumous golden shower.

    I'm petrified of spiders, bloody thought of the feckers... Grrr :(

    My latest deathly spider-related fear is that I'll be washing my face and then I'll grab a towel to dry off only to find that there was a spider hiding in it that I've just squashed onto my face.

    Better your face than your hair. I have long curly hair which is a spiders dream. One night my hair was down and when I looked in the mirror I could see a massive spider on the top of my head. Instantly I shook my hair out but I couldn't see the spider on the floor, so que hysterics from me and I made someone come up and wash my hair while I leaned over the bath, too afraid to touch my own hair in case the spider came to get me :rolleyes:

    They were p!ssing themselves laughing the whole time while I thought I might have to shave my head. I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure if I'd react any differently if it happened again :o

    Despise flies with every fibre of my being so I don't mind spiders whatsoever - they provide a valuable service

    For some unknown reason I had assumed you were female. Until I saw your thread about getting your girlfriend pregnant and getting engaged to her. :)

    This thread makes me want to cry, I hate spiders. About a month back my 7 year old daughter lifted one without me noticing and then put it in a Kinder Surprise egg and got me to open it, wee shyte! :(

    My mother is terrified of spiders. When they were younger, my brothers used to tie tomato stalks to thread and hang them in the kitchen presses, so they swung out when she opened them. cue hysterical screams and running around the kitchen and that was just them laughing at her reaction, never failed!

    Seriously though, it's not funny. I'm kind of better with them now but time was I couldn't handle them at all. Now at least I'm brave enough to splat them! Getting close enough to put them outside is still a challenge though.

    That totally happened to me a few months ago! My eyesight is terrible too, so with no glasses on after just getting out of the shower I didn't see the damn thing till it was right in my face :(

    I'm fairly certain they can smell fear and are out to get me, I have way more run in's with them like that than the average person.

    Why did I click that! And just before bed too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan



    I would scream the neighbourhood down if I actually saw one of those in real life, but abstractly speaking, that is fantastic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 504 ✭✭✭Zed Bank


    People who don't kill spiders and just put them outside. Ha. Good luck.

    My mam was the same, and I think thats where my phobia stems from. Fear is not the word, I am absolutely terrified of them, can't even look at a picture without having a panic attack.

    I used to be so terrified of them when I was younger. I once got stuck in a room for 3 hours bursting for the loo all because there was a spider on the door handle. lol.

    I'm a lot better with them now. I usually kill them on first sight. I would never let them live in case they had babies! lol
