Alright, so I go out side of my apartment, and there are four pillar like things in the front, well stretched across these 4 pillars is spider webs, about 6 bigger than half dollar sized spiders. What the hell is causing these freak of nature spider organization thats out to kill me...
Aww, they're just doing their jobs. Hanging out. Catching skeeters. Probably working hard to get fattened up so they can have a passel of baby spiders to carry on their work.
Don't let them get to you . . . .
holy shit i fuckin hate spiders...
I love spiders, my greenhouse of full of them. They grow fat and happy eating eating little nasties that want to feast on the girls.
I recently changed my intense fear of a spiders to a mild fear of them. I did this by realizing you have to stop seeing the legs, and start seeing the creature in the middle of them.
Spiders don't bother me so much, especially when they're keeping bugs away from my plants... The only real spiders that freak me out are any bigger than my palm... Tarantulas, those huge banana spiders, etc. Fucking freaks.
do they look like this?
ugh i hate spiders...
lol....Quote:

Needless to say I have walked through them maaanny times.
Yeah Slipknot, just like those. You live here in Texas, I'm sure you see them plenty...
I do not think spiders are all that bad, they serve a purpose.
well the first pic isn't a banana spider, it's a golden silk orb-weaver.. :p i was asking if those were the ones outside his door lolQuote:

I'm terrified of spiders. I think it was watching that movie Arachnophobia when I was a young child, that did it. :(
Yeah, definitely think that was the catalyst in my case, as well. I see a spider, no matter how big, inside my house....its dead. I'll either spray it with liquid ammonia, or, if its on furniture or whathaveyou, I just smash that bastard.Quote:

Cool fact, 50% of all women, and 10% of all men fear spiders. Arachnophobia is the number one fear in the world.
What are the Most Common Phobias?
GAHHHH!

spiders scare the shit out of me :(
Fuck spiders man! Fuck them up their little ..uhh.. web shooting assholes!! YEAH!!
I'm not afraid of spiders. I just don't want them biting me.

Thats one of the main reasons I'm afraid of spiders: they're stupid enough to think something that, to them, is as big as a tree trunk and think, "I'll bite it and it will go away." Now....given, some spiders can uhhh...actually make us go away permanently in our sleep, yeah; but most don't have that capability. Hell, most don't even make us wake up.
But, its just the THOUGHT, "Some...thing! bit me!!" For me, its that loss of security, that loss of control.
But, as I've heard, "Fear stems from a loss of control."
Of course they do! I never disliked spiders, but only started to love them when i went to live in a house with many ants, termites, mosquitoes and so...Quote:

It worked well enough. There was like 20-30 little spiders in the ceiling, and almost every mosquito which entered my room were trapped and eaten, sooner or later.
The ants and termites were too much for being controlled by the spiders... anyway, they (spiders) had plenty of food... and i had many interesting moments watching they dealing with the insects in their webs...
I think its an amazing thing to watch, and until today, that i live in another place, i have some spiders in my room, just for the fun of watching then, cause there is not much insects here, and thus not much "work" for they do... some ants at most... anyway, i think spiders are very good and useful beings.
BTW, i never were bitten, harmed or suffered any ill from any of my spiders... The worst they did was make their webs over some of my things, and i HAD to destroy their webs... nothing worse than it.
Man, screw that. If i did that Id wake up wrapped in unbreakable web, squirming while the life was getting sucked out of me.. those dirty shit rats. I think that, Im not so much afraid of spiders just have a deep deep hatred for them, and most bugs for that matter. When I was 5, I got bit by a spider on my eye lid, it swelled my whole left eye completely shut for what seemed like half of my kindergarten career. Could you imagine being five and getting called the hunch back of Notre Dame, damn little kids are cruel... :(Quote:

I can't even do anything about it until tomorrow! I got some Fogger (insect bomb) and I can't set it off until tomorrow because I have no where else to sleep tonight. I'm literally going crazy, I think that I keep feeling them crawling on me.
Sorry for the language, but fuck I'm going nuts!
Well... im pretty sure that the spiders would love to help you with the ants...Quote:

Black Widows like to hang out in the dark with really f+)*& up looking webs. My spiders are just happy killing off bugs that want to gnaw on my girls.Quote:

I got over my fear of spiders by playing Turok 2. There's nothing like setting a spider the size of a VW on fire and watching it run around shrieking and vomiting acid.
