What is your opinion on spiders?

Ugh, don't get me started on spiders. I could write an essay on the many negative qualities spiders possess.

I am petrified of spiders. I have a plug-in spider repeller and also spray around my windows and doors with spider repellent to keep them out.

I have a strange relationship with spiders. If I see one I will freak the trout out. I will like jump out the shower naked and run to another room to avoid that sneaky b*stard. They're so unpredictable and just yuck!

BUT! If one of my kids see one at work and start freaking out (I teach 3-5yr olds) I'm like "ohhh, it's ok, it's just a spider- it wont hurt you!" I wont touch it or anything, but i'll act all nonchalant as if it doesn't bother me! Craziness! I guess I don't want them to grow up scared like me!

I'm not a fan of picking them up or anything, but I'll do it. If it's especially big then I'll just get a glass and paper to take it outside.

The only thing that gets me is when I unexpectedly find one crawling on me, like I feel my skin itch first, then look down and there's just a huge hairy bugger crawling up my arm.


Also I never kill them, shame on you all!

I'm pretty much a wuss with spiders.

50/50

Spiders are helpful creatures that help kill pests and other nasty things, but they look scary and nasty as smurf.

They are free to do their jobs, as longs as they stay away from my bedroom. Thankyou spiders. :ohdear:

Im usually startled when I see one but some of them can kill and I cant tell the difference between the dangerous ones and the non dangerous ones so I tend to just kill them on sight which I guess makes me a spider racist.

A good rule of thumb: if the spider isn't poisonous, he's probably plotting against you and your family anyway. So you might as well save everyone the trouble, fear, and heartache, and rid your home of the man-eating vermin! A good poison spray should do the trick along with a well-aimed Hadouken for good measure. Use your intelligence, take no chances, and good luck!

I live in Australia....the buggers are everywhere o______o

Little ones are okay, Daddy long legs don't scare me either but all other spiders instill a fear and loathing inside of me x__x Just the other day I saw a spider on the outside of the bathroom window, black, hairy and gigantic (the size of 1 hand span). I know it probably wouldn't hurt me but it didn't stop me from exhausting a whole can of repellent on it D:

i seen a black and yellow spider once. it looked very creepy. luckily it wasnt in my house or anything.

I don't mind spiders, but you don't get anything bigger than about an inch and a half where I live. I like seeing them when I go to the zoo or pet store though. My girlfriend is terrified of them and checks her bed every night before she goes to sleep for 'em. :/
