Do You Become Anxious When You See A Spider At Home, Look Away Briefly, Then See It's No Longer There?

I’m friends with the spiders in my house, lmao. They’re smart as fuck, they make webs around the nightlights we have, and eat GOOD overnight, lmao. Haven’t been bitten by one yet. I’m a scary giant to them, they ain’t tryna fuck with me. I leave them alone, they leave me alone. And then I don’t get that little high pitched hum in my ear while I’m trying to sleep from little bugs that get through the mesh of the window screens 👍👍

Spiders never have to pay for a beer if I’m around🍻

[WhiteSteve]

One thing though….. a spider like the one pictured, I keep a tall pint glass and little card stock junk mail piece to humanely relocate big motherfuckers like that. I have my limits for tolerance, haha

[Sunrising]

Spiders usually do more good than harm, so I don't kill them.

What I do is trap them in a pint glass I have specially for this occasion, and a piece of thin cardboard to slide under the glass, to stop them from escaping. Then I release them on the garden.

[purplepoppy]

I don't mind spiders but I hate it when one is on the ceiling directly above my bed ready to drop in my mouth.

[Bricealan]

@purplepoppy Especially a Black Widow ! The big ones I hit with a baseball bat.

[purplepoppy]

We had a false widow here last week. I've no idea where it went.

[Sunrising]

@purplepoppy perhaps the spider popped into your mouth in the night 🤣

[Amy10223]

We eat about 7 or 8 of them yearly, while we sleep. Ugh.

[Sunrising]

@Amy10223 So that's why sometimes I don't want a breakfast.

[purplepoppy]

Most of the spiders you eat are ground up in processed foods. Same as rat droppings.

[Sunrising]

I'll never eat processed foods again 😀

[Amy10223]

I fear spiders and what many can do. That said, if I see one, it goes down my toilet or gets crushed.

[Sunrising]

Awhhhhh, poor spiders!

[Amy10223]

@Sunrising Better that than in my mouth. I had a spider bite on the front part of my foot the other day. Two tiny marks that itched like crazy. My daughter would scold me; she used to use a jar to put them outside. But I just can't take them.

[Sunrising]

You need to make your peace with spiders, because they kill flies that bite too, and there's more of them. 🙂

[WindAtMyBack]

No. Spiders don't bother me unless they get too big, like golf ball size bodies. I leave them alone. They keep the other critters down. Too bad they don't eat mice.

[dustybiker2]

I keep "daddy long legs" around because they eat house spiders.

[Bricealan]

@Physics-Man I only kill the 'Black Widows"

[Bricealan]

@Physics-Man Or the ones bigger than my hand, and then I smash 'em with a shovel!

[kavakava]

Big as your hand? Can you take one down with a 22 rifle?

[Bricealan]

@kavakava 😂😂😂😂😂 I was in Mexico, once and saw one cross the road in front of our Jeep. Scared the shit out of me with the size of the damned thing.

[Bricealan]

@kavakava 😂😂😂😂😂 I was in Mexico, once and saw one cross the road in front of our Jeep. Scared the shit out of me with the size of the damned thing. I leave those big ones to Harry Callahan, (Dirty Harry) and his.357 magnum. 😂😂😂😂

[kavakava]

I think Harry had a 44 magnum. 😂

[Bricealan]

@kavakava Check again... maybe, I'm wrong. ?

[Bricealan]

@kavakava Correct... a 44 Magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head CLEAN OFF"

[kavakava]

"Well, punk,... do you feel lucky?" 😂

[Bricealan]

@kavakava " ... I gotsta know" !

[kavakava]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[exitseven]

No, I just watch out for it. Sooner or later it will show up again and I squish it.

[Anonymous]

Depends on what type of spider, but they usually don't get away so far.

[Smegskull]

Not in the way you are thinking. I would be worried about sittingon the little guy. They eat all the flies, I like spiders... except maybe the woodlause spider, leaving dead shells in the bloody corners.

[Agape93]

Nope, they don't usually bother me.

[kavakava]

Yes, there's nothing worse than the gotaways.

[shortster]

Yes, especially when it is that guy.

[fonduegirl]

It's a spider not a snake lol
