I
am not sure why, but I am absolutely terrified of spiders, to the point that it is a very real phobia and affects my life. I will not go out of my house at night during warmer weather because that is when they come out of hiding, and I am deathly afraid I will get dropped on by one.
I almost got into a car accident once because of one of those creepy little buggers.... it must have been hiding in the visor...this ugly white spider with a fat belly...anyway, it plopped onto my hand when I was driving down a busy road and I nearly flipped!! I almost steered the car right into oncoming traffic!!! Somehow I managed to keep some of my head, and I quickly smacked it onto the seat, then pulled oover and got out of my car. I was physically ill; I was shaking, and couldn't bring myself to get back into the car. It took me a good 20 minutes to relax and talk myself into getting back in, after carefully searching every inch of the car for more.

  | Posted Feb 20th, 2009 at 4:32AM, last updated Feb 20th, 2009 at 4:34AM The fact is that the spider didn't try to kill you. She tried to defend herself. No spider is so stupid that tries to eat someone so much larger of size. The problem is that spiders (as most of animals) doesn't understand the meaning of property. When your car happens to be in her revire, she thinks, it belongs there. I mean, I'm scared of spiders too... They can be quite lethal. The fear for spiders is called arachnophobia and yes, I am pretty arachnophobic, though in Europe we do not have many really deadly spiders. Most dangerous spiders living in Australia. +3 nods   |
 | Posted Feb 20th, 2009 at 4:48AM lol...I swear she was glaring at me!! lol...I know she didn't really try to kill me (admits grumblingly) and I know she was probably as scared as I was (though I still think she was glaring at me) and I am very glad most dangerous spiders do NOT live in the US cuz I would be so outta here!! :D +2 nods |
 | Posted Feb 20th, 2009 at 6:55PM Have you ever tried Hypnosis? It might work for you? I hate the little buggers to. |
| Posted Feb 20th, 2009 at 11:16PM Nope, I've never tried hypnosis...maybe I'll look into it. Thanks! |
 Feeling sleepy | Posted Feb 21st, 2009 at 6:01AM, last updated Feb 21st, 2009 at 7:08AM I had something similar happen, but was lucky that it was only a Huntsman spider. They're big, but they're not a threat to humans. I was able to pull over and let it crawl onto a piece of cardboard, then I put it out on the side of the road. It crawled off into a rather upmarket neighbourhood, so it did well for itself. +2 nods |
| Posted Feb 21st, 2009 at 8:51AM Oh great....snobby spiders...that's ALL I need....lol |
Feeling sleepy | Posted Feb 21st, 2009 at 8:56AM, last updated Feb 21st, 2009 at 10:13PM lmao! snobby... hahahahaha I do understand how they can unsettle a person. If I only catch one in my peripheral vision as it's scuttling along, it does tend to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. |
 Feeling content | Posted Feb 28th, 2009 at 3:18AM i would tear down the barn walls if a spider drops down on me. yuck. |
 | Posted Mar 10th, 2009 at 4:18AM The spider is much more afraid of you than you are if it! How would you feel is something the size of the Empire State building came towards you? Also I should mention that spiders are extremely beneficial, as they eat enormous amounts of insects. +2 nods |
 | Posted Apr 30th, 2009 at 4:15PM I am the same way I almost steeped on one barefoot and I was paranoid for weeks every time I think about it I get paranoid all over again. |
