    WTF is up with all these giant spiders appearing all of a sudden? I've never seen spiders so big and they're seemingly indestructable too. I'm burning down my house and moving to to Mars if I see another one, I don't even know how they're getting in they're so big. Anyone else plagued by them?

    On average, we eat 8 spiders in our lifetime as they crawl into our mouth as we sleep.

    Think about that now when you are drifting off to sleep tonight.

    The good summer is the cause of it, they ride like mad in the heat.

    I've always wondered how exactly this is measured?

    Do scientists watch a sample of 1,000 people sleep over a lifetime? Not at all, it's complete and utter distilled sh1te.

    Left the door open to leave the dog out, went upstairs. When I came back down there was 4 or 5 of them all over the kitchen/sitting room aswell as an assortment of crane flies and a couple of moths. Moral of the story? Don't own a dog.

    No big spiders here :(. There is tiny one hiding behind bog roll pack in the toilet. I called him Bob. I talk to him while I lay a brick.

    Na man, he is telling the truth. I saw a spider on my wall the other day, for a split second I thought it was a moth, then I noticed the rugby player sized legs on it...I ran out the room Shrieking...

    A spider woke me up at 5am the other morning walking across my face. I thought I was imagining it and brushed my hand across my face with my eyes still closed and felt it as my hand hit it. Woke up in shock looking for it with the lamp on and saw it walking up my arm. It was only the size of a 2euro coin but had a very big body for its size. Could feel the crunch when I killed the fecker.

    These ones would choke you first, massive horrible things, if you were partial though they'd keep you fed for the week

    Every fecking year, about this time...haven't seen any of the massive ones yet, but have had the fellas with the tiny bodies and long spindly legs knocking around for a few weeks already. The other ones are nearly as big as crabs. *shudders in anticipation of the onslaught to come*.

    I thought it was Biker Mice?

    Its the heat that does it, they love it. When the turn in the weather comes then they try move indoors to stay warm.

    This time of year the males leave their normal habitat to find females. Sher I suppose they are mad for the ride like the rest of us.

    Put some Sugar on the floor at all your Doors.

    The Spiders will eat the Sugar and it will rot their Teeth, so they won't be able to Bite You
