Dang spider

[Marigold2]

Ok so now it is 2:18 am. And I am wide awake, why?
Well for one we just got back from vacation and I am unpacking and doing wash and whatnot.
But mostly it is because as I was rearranging my night stand there was a BIG BLACK SPIDER on the wall behind my pillow. I tried to hit it with a O magazine and the bas&&&d got away.
About 7 minutes later there he is again. DAMN THING!! I am going to kill it. I grab Oprah again, hit him this time and he falls on the carpet. I look down and he is no where to be found.
GREAT GREAT GREAT. Now what the bloody hell am I to do.
You just know that as soon as I turn out the light he will creep and crawl all over my body and bite the living day lights out of me.
He will probably bit my rear end or my back, places difficult to stratch.
Oh I hate spiders. And here are my three boys. Boscoe my big fatty, Ki-Ki Mr. Cutie Pants and Jake a Poo the good boy all sleeping. Jake is actually snoring. Does anyone care about the spider that will bite mommy?
NO, mommy cleaned their potty, gave them ice water and food, petted them and kissed them and now they are on the bed, not even looking for the horrid creature lurking by the bed ready to pounch and give me the willies all night.
DAMN!!!

Don't worry Monica.
Spiders don't eat much, so he'll probably just bite you a little bit

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up my bedroom wall.
I hit it with an O magazine and it started to fall.
I looked and looked and could not find it at all
I finally laid down on my bed and started to relax
When the ugly thing ran across my white sheets
Ready to attack.
I grabbed my computed mouse and based it's head in
The itsy bitsy spider is deader then dead.
The legs came off and flew opposite his head.
Now my white sheets have a nasty brown stain.
But the spider is dead and I can relax again.

Ha ha! I have a tiny spider in my closet, never could get him, but he is tiny and few feet away from my bed. Would do no good to clean the closet as he probably relocated.

How about the time I had just groomed Mikey out back and I was laying on my bed with my laptop and a CENTIPEDE crawled out from under my pillow? I SCREAMED, my brother comes running in and sees me crying on the bed like a freak. He finally finds it behind the dresser and Mr. Centipede gets crushed and flushed down the toilet. SCARIEST moment of my life.

I had a centipede a foot long run over me once. True.

No, they don't relocate. He's hiding....watching....waiting. Waiting for you to fall into a deep sleep....and then....he will attack.

I was getting ready to go to a concert YEARS ago and was barefoot in the bathroom and stepped and felt something weird right along the arch of my foot. When I looked down it was a centipede. I FREAKED out, probably about like you did. I was shaking and couldn't stop crying. I was actually probably a couple years younger than you at the time.

Well, I'm glad you got the darn spider. I really hate it when they are on the ceiling and you can't reach them. I'm always afraid they will come right over me then drop on me.

Waking up with a scorpion on your sleeping bag is NOT a fun experience.....especially when your squad mate decides to help you and kill it with his boot....and it's in a sensitive area of the male anatomy.

I ran across this ugly critter a few weeks ago, hanging on the outside of the house. Thank goodness it was outside. After I took her pic, I sent her on her way to Spider Heaven. I decided to Google it to see what it was since it sure looked deadly to me at the time! Poor thing was an ordinary garden spider. Oh well - it should have been in the garden instead of hanging on the house - serves it right. That round thing to the left is a pod, so I guess I killed innocent babies too.
Yes - I know - the house needs a bath!

I've followed this thread with morbid curiosity... am I the only one who catches the offending creepy crawly in a cup/hand, and puts it outside?

No. If I come across a Daddy Long Legs spider in the house, I'll pick him up by one of his long legs and toss him outside. But that's the only spider I can even remotely tolerate. I have an aversion to snakes and slugs too, but at least I don't find them in the house!

[Alysser]

The way I see it is, I don't come into their houses whether it be webs, burrows underground, hives, etc...they don't need to come in mine and if they're somehow stupid enough to get stuck in the house...well they're better off dead anyway.

Alyssa, if I ever find myself reincarnated as a creepy crawly, rest assured I am staying the heck away from your house.

Did you try talking to it ???
I mean, ask it WHY it was in your sleeping bag ???
I would have done that. And if it didn't answer me, I'd squish it with my boot to.
