so there are obviously a LOT of people int he world who are scared of spiders - including me - and i'm just curious about something.
have you been scared of spiders for as long as you remember, or did something happen that made you scared of them?
personally, i don't want to live on the same PLANET as a spider, but that obviously isn't possible so i'd just rather not have a spider anywhere near me. xD i've always been a bit wary of spiders, but as a little kid i used to collect them in buckets and them let then go when i got bored.
so one day i was swinging at our swing set, and right in front of me was a spider hanging down from the bar. it was swinging back and forth in the wind, so i was worried i was gonna hit it face first...
so i got up and touched its web - and it swarmed up the web and wrapped itself around my finger. i freaked out but couldn't get it off, so my brother had to come outside and pry it off because it just wouldn't let go. :c
ever since then i've been scared of spiders - i see a spider, and i'm gone.
by the way, it was a medium sized, fat, harry gray-brown spider. :x bleeggghhh.
anyway.
what about you? xP

I have always been scared of Spiders.
I used to remember when I went to go into my old shed, and there was a spider as wide as my hand, all black and hairy running across the floor, and the thought of it still creeps me.

I am definitely not a fan of spiders. The problem is, where I live, they're everywhere. We get a bunch of large, hairy and creepy types too. We get big garden spiders, Black Widows and camel spiders. Those are the three types I hate the most. Camel spiders are the worst.
What's odd is, when I was younger, I had absolutely no issue with spiders at all. Someone came in to class to teach us about spiders and brought a tarantula with him, and I had zero issue picking it up. No idea where the phobia came from.

Tarantulas are very tame, maybe thats the reason, seeing that Black Widows and Camels are very deadly species?

Besides, it's not the bite I'm worried about. I just seem to have developed this thing against spiders; when I'm see one I'm not trying to rationalize its potency, but more like 'omg wtf get it away.' xD

Aw, but he just wants to cuddle :3 then it can go cuddle with another spider. >
speaking of spiders. when i went outside this morning (it's really freaking hot out! stupid heat wave), i saw a huuugee garden spider (black and yellow) sitting near the deck.
i wasn't outside very long..
... i'm not going outside again until someone gets rid of it though.

Interesting that this topic came up. When I woke up this morning there was a quarter-sized spider on the floor just creepily staring at me. Normally spiders don't phase me and ill let them do their thing, but this one had to go

It depends how BIG they are!
Little money spiders and those ones wth thin legs and small bodies, I can pick up no problem. However, the BIG, hairy garden spiders that look at you....no way! I get a glass and a piece of card to transport them safely outside.
I never, ever kill a spider...or any other insect for that matter...except ants if they invade my kitchen and pose a health risk.
