My ex was the same way. I made him drive over to my house at 11pm to kill a spider on my wall. He screamed louder than I did when it fell off the wall and starting running across the carpet of the living room.

wait......so that spider was INSIDE your place??



...eff that...

Haha, I do the upside-down tap with my boots, but not my normal shoes. We learned that in my old unit in the Navy as we were out in the field quite a bit. We also were taught to ball our socks up and stuff them in the top to help block passage for creatures seeking warmth. Ugh, just remembering those nasty camel spiders.....that thing you found is nasty too, funny that your old instinct kicked in at that moment. I'm gonna be checking mine this morning for sure now.

I'm exactly the same way. What I've found is that guys are largely not afraid of snakes while chicks are mortified but most guys I know are petrified of spiders while many girls don't seem to mind them as much as snakes.

I do it to shoes that I haven't work in a couple weeks. I have never had it happen to me, but I always thought that is a good place for them to hang out.

I recently cleaned out and swept my garage. It was like a scene from Arachnophobia. There were probably hundreds of little fuckers and a handful of giant wolf spiders as well.

I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I hate them!

LOL I do the same thing. And mash my foot around to ensure the deed is done.

I remember once in highschool I was watching TV late at night... 25x25' room, TV was across the room. I notice half-way across the room, something is walking along between me and the TV big enough to cast a fckn shadow across the floor. I turn the light on, and it's a giant spider a lot like yours. Wolf spider. I put a shoe on, jump about 10 feet in the air across the room and land on him pushing him into the carpet. Stood there a moment too scared to lift, until I felt him MOVE. I think I screamed like a girl and twirled like a ballerina for about 10 minutes until I was sure there was no way he survived. When I lifted, he still found a way to twitch. I got the vacuum at 3AM, sucked him up, taped the end closed for good measure, and then put the vacuum in the garage.

I wear flip flops whenever I'm not at work, spider proofed!

This may be a SoCal bug, but does anybody get these fukers come strollin in when it rains during winter months?

I call them Potato Bugs (think the technical name is Jerusalem Cricket) and these literally scare the living fuk outta me. I have no idea what they do, but I ususally let off a full can of raid on their ass till neither one of us can breathe.

Damnit...

For some reason, that doesn't scare me like a spider does. It'll still freak me out if sneaks up on me but spiders give me goosebumps just thinking about them.

The one thing I get in my house that scares me as much as spiders are house centipedes. Something about the f*cking legs that creep me out and even after you squish them, their legs keep twitching.

This thread is making me feel sick at my desk. Phantom spiders all over me now. Hilarious responses

I saw a black widow crawl out from under my baseboard heater in my bathroom, lucky for me I was already sitting on the toilet...
