So hate spiders then huh?
http://www.onemotion.com/flash/spider/
This has actually helped me a little I reckon. It's like expsoure without actual exposure.
However, if you make the legs thinner though and the body a bit smaller it looks like a horrendous house spider. Bleurgh.
this spider doesn't suddenly start running at 100mph
and crawl up your back and kill all your children..... does it?
PS I only dislike house spiders, I've even held a tarantula but housespiders are weird things
This was on 8 out of 10 cats last week

oh my
oh my
oh my
i jumped so much
Really?
That's annoying. I've been playing with this spider for months. Now Carr has ruined this whole thread.
Oh wait two things:
1) This wasn't on 8 out of 10 cats, your link was
2) You made me watch that youtube clip.
I forgot that real spiders are 100000000 times worse than the one you can play with in the top link.
Great. Feel rank now.
Sorry moker
:(
It's ok
I just sent that youtube link to someone at work. A pain shared is a pain halved.
My boss just sent me this charming video of a cat which may cheer some of your aracnophobes up.
Though personally I think you're all massive pussies:

I have to question anyone that is scared of spiders.
Come on now.
Re Phobia
a Phobia is always an irrational fear, fear of house spider is irrational fear, I cannot explain myself but I think it has something to do with the way that they run.
Fear of Tarantula, rational fear, yet I find them quite cute :3
who was it on nightshift that time
who literally couldn't leave their bedroom because they'd seen a spider in the hall, and they had to wait until someone was due to come home something like 16 hours later?
Even knowing what meowington's link leads to is making my tummy churn.
And I watched that clip on 8 Out of 10 Cats with my glasses off and eyes half-shut, because I wanted to know what happened but didn't want all the gory details.
So, no thanks.
I was freaking out
Just no. I don't even know what I would do in that situation. I think I'd probably move out and never come back. I don't care about my stuff.
I would burn the house down
Once I did have a jumbo spider in my bedroom - it was so big I swear it must've been someone's escaped pet :'(
After having a palpatation and hyperventilating for a day, I ended up facing my fears and mightily slaying it. Although I did barf afterwards. A couple of weeks ago, I had to get my aunt to come and remove a creepy house spider from my wall. So manly.
Oh no!
How big was it? It may have been like a field spider. Is that what they're called? They are huge!
I could not be dealing with that. I would seriously just leave. I usually get my dad to remove any spider thats near me but he is such a wind up and will always throw it back at me.
Probably about the span of an average male's hand
:(((((((((((
It was so big. And no one else was around to get it for me. I slept on the couch in the living room that night, but kept waking up, terrified it had followed me. I eventually killed it by sucking it up in the Hoover - it was a Dyson too, so I could see it getting chopped up by the fan. That was satisfying, but the fact I had to get so close to kill it made me sick.
If those eight legged arachnid twats are more scared of me than i am of them ...
Then why do the piss wands pelt it 1000 mph in my direction when im trying to be as far away from them as possible forcing me to yelp like a girl and drop an Argos catalogue its head?
To be fair
a spider can't drop an argos catalogue on your head, and even if it could it would merely give you a minor headache as opposed to leaving you as a stain on the carpet.
Why would you be fair about spiders?
I threw a show at one on my front door
Missed, leaving me with one shoe and no exit.
Thsi just really scared my cat
He swatted the spider, then it moved and he went mental. Poor Fatty :(
:D
My flatmate was in the park during the weekend
And came back with a bag of conkers. These are now gracing our window sills as apparently they scare spiders away.
I've looked into this, and can offer the following conclusion:
Arthropods = Alien robots.
Don't trust 'em. They were sent here to destroy us. And they're winning.
See? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AnimalsRelativeNumbers.png
spiders are nothing
i piss spiders. wasps are scary. why be scared of something which can't even hurt you, just tickles a bit when it runs over you? are you scared of a feather? stop being scared of a feather.
you should probably get that seen to
