Why's your dog on the wall ?
Or broom, knock it onto the floor and let the dog get it.
Or, cup over it, slide piece of paper between cup and wall and then release out the window.
Or, drink until it goes away.
Probably not...
Im not gonna sleep well tonight, knowing it might come and get me :nervous:
To make things worse, A daddy long legs flew at me in the face, So I scream, then get a call from the elderly couple next door to check everythings ok. :shocking:
They really are the shittest animals alive. They are so badly designed. My mum's friend tried to rescue one from a spider web the other day and all its legs fell off :yeees:
Why not just pick it up and put it outside? Jesus.
Good on you, for being brave enough to hoover it up, I'm too scared of them to even do that
Bunch of pussies. What has a spider ever done to you?
Put a glass over it. Slide a piece of cardboard underneath. Take the two items outside and let the poor bloody thing run free. It's, like, the size of your toe. Or at worst, the palm of your hand. It's hardly likely to eat you up, or kidnap you and flog off your body parts.
I'm going to make a note of all the potential spider-bullies on here and pull their legs off, hoover them up, stomp on them, and generally be abusive if I ever see them.
Pick it up and chuck it out, they don't hurt.
I hate spiders with a passion, to a point where I hid under the quilt the other night until chris got rid of it. I'd cheerfully hoover them up. Daddy long legs too. Eurgh they're horrible, they plague me, I had an interesting time getting one out of my door the other night. It ended up dead too. Stupid things.
(And Rich, you bully me, I'll kick your bike over next time it's LITTERING MY AREA. I mean really, leaving it against a bush... do you not know the types who wander around here? They'll just come and roll it away. Or kick it.)
I understand what being afraid of them is like, but I can't help but wonder, rather philosophically... Is being afraid of something reason enough to kill it? Of course we're talking about bugs here, but still...
There's a difference between a phobia of something and being scared of it. Most people who are scared of spiders don't have a phobia, it's just a natural reaction to seeing one. It's one of the few universal things, even most people when they first glance at a spider get an initial shock. But they compose themselves and do what's necessary, somone with a phobia couldn't bear to look at one nevermind sleep in the same room as it.
I know there is as i have a really bad phobia of them.
I guess i just assumed she had a phobia of them.
I'll hang you off the bush and watch you try to wriggle free .
Anyway, I'm bigger than all those arseholes. The scrotes next door are being evicted anyway .
Thank You
I DO have a phobia of spiders, I had a bad experience when I was at school, and I fall to pieces if I see one. Its not particuarly funny and its scary being alone with one.
Oh and to all the 'Piece of paper/Glass' people, It was on the wall so that wouldnt have worked, also I'm not prepared to go that near one.
I made a thread about this a while ago, as I wanted to purchase some spider killing spray. Surely they should sell this?
FYI Cillit Bang is not an effective spider-cide :no:
I had a fucking huge thing walk all across my legs when i was about 7 and i froze. I couldn't move until it got off the other side and ever since then i have been petrified of them.
I KNOW it's stupid, I KNOW they are alot smaller than me etc but it makes no difference. I so wish it did but it doesn't come into it.
I can't even be in the same room as a big one. I can't even get a broom to them i'm that bad.
I normally leave the room until Chris gets home.
As for the paper glass thing, are you having a laugh? I can't even look at the things let alone get anywhere near them.
