| theDtrain (OP) User ID: 712747 United States12/03/2009 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, I don't want you to feel like a "little girl", but I can handle spiders quite easily. I just gently pick them up and put them outside. You can use a glass to catch them. Put the glass over them, and then get a bit of card to place under the glass and put them outdoors. I was going to say they don't bite, but I have had a couple of little nips from one or two spiders. Quoting: *Jentle*I came close to vomiting just now.

It's not all spiders with me, small ones are okay, it's just the big long-bodied ones that build funnel webs. I hate those things so much, it's hard for me to even whack 'em with a shoe, but I do, otherwise I'd have to move out of my apartment until they were found and killed. I have a totally insane friend who PICKS THEM UP IN HER HAND and sets them free (when everyone knows they will just run straight back inside, stupid cow). Hate the things! |

I can understand not touching spiders, because they are gross-looking... but to fear them is to accept a huge weakness and flaw in your character. You said you kill them for your girlfriend- so you're probably not as afraid of them as I pictured... when you said you feared them, I'm picturing a grown man jumping onto chairs, screaming, cause there's a spider in the house lol. Whatever- it's your life. I just don't understand irrational fears. |

I just don't understand irrational fears. so an irrational fear is a flaw in character? isnt it these differences that define our character? if we all felt the same way and had the same fears the world would be so bland. and who said its irrational? could be a fear due to a prior circumstance, or perhaps the spider is poisonous hence not respecting it could lead to your own harm. i understand your point, but you sound a little harsh. this is what happened last time i picked up a spider...  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 373696 United States12/03/2009 01:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Always remember - spiders are our friends and allies. The insects are the real enemy, and our friends the spiders kill and eat many insects. I've been telling my wife this for about 25 years. In the last one or two she's gotten to the point where she will tolerate them, but that's about it. |

My sister would wait until I was asleep then would get move her hair across my face and arms until I woke up, she would then laugh and say "the spiders are going to get you". |
