If there's one thing I've NEVER been able to stand, it's spiders, and a fairly large one just tried to attack me while in the restroom....

So much for going to sleep (Even a late one) for the next day or so (Seriously, I become completely nutbasket-level nuts at the mere thought of a spider attack..)

Am I the only one who has this level of a dislike for the little buggers? Am I THAT nuts?

I hate spiders too. The little, tiny, titchy ones don't bother me, but the big ones..........eeeeew!!
We get some big ones here - wolf spiders. I suppose I shouldn't complain cos I bet spiders in certain parts of the U.S. are even meaner. Wolf spiders are just horrible - their leg-span can be up to about 8 or 9 centimeters and they run really fast so it's real tough to catch them and throw them out the house. You don't wanna just squish them cos they're big and they make one hell of a mess when you hit them!

When I was a kid, I was terrified of Spiders. My poor mother would have to drop what she was doing and take care of the spider that I saw on the cieling or the wall.

I'm an adult now , so I have overcome my fear and I can kill a spider all by myself.

Roaches are another story..

Well, I am not afraid of the little black ones that we see regularly around our houses, but I just hate the big ones (the multicolored ones with spots, stripes) and I HATE tarantulas. But I have a friend who screams louder than a fire alarm just because of one tiny ant:lol: . So everyone is afraid of different things.

There's a whole extended family of the little critters living in my shower. They stay up by the ceiling on a narrow ledge, and only occasionally fall into the tub. Some mornings I have to move one or two back up into the web so they don't drown, but as long as they mainly stay above the showerhead, we're cool. :)

I don't hate 'em altogether. However, there is one species of spider that I will kill every time I see one: the sac spider, a hunter that builds a resting cell of silk in corners of walls and walls/ceilings, or wherever. Their bite is apinful, and its systemic effects last a day, althought they're definitely not as bad as the brown recluse spiders. P>s>: The sac spider's the only truly ahrmful spider where I live (Toledo, Ohio).

Ever since I watched Arachnophobia in 1995, I have had a heavy fear of tarantulas and other spiders that are big and furry. The next month after I saw the movie, I wouldn't go into the shower because of this one scene in the film. Never watch that movie if you are afraid of spiders. I can't watch it without covering my eyes during certain scenes.

Spiders don't bother me at all, but I'm terrified of ants.

Spiders terrify the hell out of me. Even the small ones. You can usually hear me screaming a block away. I hate when I'm in the shower, look up, and there's one crawling down the wall. I freak out.

Ants... I'm the same way, if not worse (which is saying something) with ants.

Unless they're huge or hairy, as long as they're below my shoulders (on the wall or whatever), I've gotten to where I can handle them. But if they're over my head (like on the ceiling), might as well just send me to the funny farm. I'll stop breathing I'm so scared they'll fall on me.

OMG I saw a spider in the shower a few weeks ago and about freaked! I hate all bugs in general - 'cept lady bugs!

Let's not leave out Mr. Cricket! My brother had to take that thing outside! It came into my room the night I watched Frasier kill a cricket Martin brought in - weird, huh?

I think spiders are kinda cool...and I don't mind little ones or something but big ones and stuff...ew...I can't handle those. If I were to ever see one of those I dunno what to do, ew, I'm cringing just THINKING about that, I'd wanna kill it but it has too much body to it, it's like killing an animal...ewewewew...*shudders*. One time, we had a moth in our house and my mom's like, "Kill it!" and I got up on a chair ready to kill it and then I screamed, I was like, "IT HAS A BODY TO IT! IT'S NOT ALL FRAIL LIKE NORMAL BUGS! IT'S NOT A MOTH IT'S A FRIKIN BAT!" Yea, my dad hadta get rid of that, I can't handle bugs with an actual thickness and hairiness to them...o god I'm cringing

Damn, robyrob - you're too witty for your own good!

I hate spiders. I was in my room at college and a spider crawled along the wall at 2:00 am in the morning - when I had just finished watching Cheers and I was so scared I couldn't get near it close enough to kill it. So I called my parents - and um, well that didn't help much. The spider disappeared and reappeared two more times a couple of days later. I only managed to kill it the third time I saw it. I've learned my lesson.

Now I'm much better at killing spiders.

Because that's what I do when I'm completely lost and frightened.
Yes, pathetic.

Spiders freak me out, but nothing is more terrifying than a moth. Especially those larger than life ones that flutter by your window. Oh my gaaaaa.
