Big Horrible Spider!!!

I took my laptop down to the TV room, thinking to watch "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and read and do laundry. BUT, I soon spied a HUGE ASS GIANT FUCKING SPIDER up on the ceiling. I went running out like a bat out of hell, obviously. Then I got the bug spray and sprayed it at the spider from OUTSIDE THE DOOR thru the doorway(it was like a foot inside the door, on the ceiling). That was about 7:30.

Do you think it's dead yet, or should I wait for my husband to get back from Japanese class (9:30 or so) to get my computer for me?

Big baby of a spider fearer, that's what I am. :-P :-P :-P

yeah, he'll feel all useful and macho and whatnot.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Did it look like this?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Like that, but darker. Yeah, I know, horrible deadly hobo spider.

I prefer the link about the spider expert who went MISSING.

I actually have an affinity for them--the whole web thing fascinates me--but damn, that is one scary looking spider.

I got a few huge spiders in my old place, but I don't think they were hobo spiders... harmless friendly garden spiders come in all variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.

It's nothing compared to life as a UCI student, living right across campus. Imagine walking home to your apartment on the occasional spring or summer day to find a humongous shiny red spiked eight-legged monstrosity that just built a web blocking your front door.

I only recently learned to properly identify a brown recluse. I'd been misidenfying them for years, because my grandmother once told me that a common house spider was a brown recluse. But now I know. I won't kill them anymore.

I don't mind spiders too much, but I had an unnerving experience yesterday when I felt something tickle my cheek and I thought it was a hair or something so I went to brush it away absent-mindedly only to discover that is was a big spider which had somehow got caught up in my hair. Ugh.

i have found that bug spray can enrage a big spider. be careful layna. it's probably conspiring with it's spidey mates right now!

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh thanks Chris, that makes me feel much better as I visualize an enraged big spider on its way to get me...

Fortunately, my husband came home and took the spider outside, like the good guy he is. It showed no sign of having been sprayed, so I probably missed. He brought me up my laptop, too. :-)

There are tons of spiders in my apt. If I avoided them I would be sleeping outdoors. They're usually good folx.

Big spiders give me the ph34r but there's a tolerably small spider living in my room at the moment. It's built a large and mighty impressive hammock-style web in one corner and even has a little crack in a beam to hide in. Seems to have sorted out the flies that invaded the place while the weather was hot.

my house mate jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet sky-diving on Sunday but we still run like wet lettuces when we see spiders. WTF is going on ?!!

DON'T GO IN! HIS SPIDEY SENSE IS TINGLING!

one year passes...

so it's not hurting anyone and i'd be a bad person for wanting it out of my apartment?

― mies van der rohffle (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Out of your apartment's fine. Squishing it demonstrates lack of mowwal fibre.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

it's on my ceiling.

― mies van der rohffle (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

Do something else for 10 mins. When you come back, chances are it will have gone somewhere else. Like INTO YOUR BED.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

it's making a web... it doesn't seem to be interested in my bed. but still.

four years pass...

Just woke up the wife by chucking a shoe round the flat. She was annoyed that I woke her up but she'd be at least six times as annoyed if that bastard had ended up on her face.

I understand your dilemma. There's nothing I hate more than waking up with a shoe on my face.

Asbestos-contaminated taratulas are the absolute worst.

Found a crazy big spider hanging out but don't know if it is friend or foe!

― Philip Nunez, Friday, 4 October 2013 18:00 (eleven years ago)

So, how big is that?

― how's life, Friday, 4 October 2013 19:32 (eleven years ago)

I'd say size of a mini donut. Should I offer it a mini-donut?
