*Creepy Crawly Warning* This was in my SHOE!

[micki76]

OMG!!! I always keep my shoes by the bar, a regular pair that I wear most often and my "outside" shoes that are used for stuf in the yard. There were two pairs of my flip flops there and I went to put my regular ones on this morning. It was a little dark in the house still, but I thought I saw something move right out of the regular shoe and scurry off by the tall flip flop. I turned on the kitchen light and I felt my legs go weak. There was a spider there bigger than I've EVER seen. I nearly PUT MY FOOT IN MY SHOE ON TOP OF IT!!!!!! I got out my camera and managed to get a couple of good, clear pics of it, knowing hubby would never believe me. It was BIG.

I then had to decide HOW to kill this thing that must have used the PET DOOR to get in, it was SO BIG. Do I go to the closet to get shoes to wear? If I do, it may go under the COUCH and I won't be able to kill it. Do I risk letting it touch my feet if I don't go get shoes (these things are speed demons, super fast)? Then I realized that I have no shoes BIG ENOUGH to protect me from this thing. So I finally just picked up a shoe and killed it. It didn't even move through all the picture taking and squishing.

The second worst part was PICKING up it's dead, twitching body. UGH!

So, if you're creeped out, DO NOT LOOK AT THESE TWO PICS.

[neko1]

Whoa!! That sucker is big It gave me chills....ewwww I would not have had to courage to take a picture or even kill it, I would have run away, I'm a scaredy cat

[Samantha Puppy]

GAG, GAG, GAG, GAG, PUKE!!!!

I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!! Where's the gag smilie? NASTY.

If that were in my house, let alone my SHOE, I'd be moving.

[dappledoxie]

OMG!!!!!! That thing is freaking scary!!

[ComedyDevil]

*shudders*

That is one BIG spider. Eww. I'm not scared of spiders, I like watching them - but only from a distance. Last spider that tried to crawl on me got eaten by Squid

[molucass]

Ewwww!

It looks like a brown recluse. SCARY!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

OMG! I'm usually fine with spiders, but that one gave me the chills.

EWWWW!! Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!

[K9soul]

That is not a brown recluse, it looks to me like a common funnel web spider or wolf spider type, harmless. Still I'd not particularly care to find one in my shoe, I wouldn't have harmed it though

-dies-

[Desert Arabian]

Ok...that is so gross. It looks like the young wolf spiders we have around here.

If that happened to me...

1. I would scream and cry for about 15 minutes
2. Flee the room
3. Have dad kill it
4. Would never wear those shoes

I have serious arachnophobia, I can't handle spiders at all. ICK! There is a huge spider in our mailbox, little smaller than the one you posted, um...my mail is not that important to me, I refuse to get it!!

I want to cry just looking at that picture. Why did I look, lol.

[sirrahved]

Yup, it's just a wolf spider... and they're scary as all get-out! We watched one crawl in under our door a few months back.

They used to be in my parents' inground pool... and they can swim! They would swim towards me and I would just get out of the pool... I was that scared of them.

HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS HUMUNGOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they stay outside, they live to see another day. If they come inside, I have to kill them.

They’re just too fast and they creep me out too much. *shudders*

We have a lot of these Wolf Spiders here. A LOT.

[My Peanuts]

OMG! I think I would have peed in my pants, seriously!

Micki I took a deep breath before viewing your pictures and I am glad I did. I get chills thinking that you might have put your foot anywhere near that!!! We have had a couple of wolf spiders in the garage and my husband thinks they are neat. Personally I see nothing neat about them. I can totally relate to the hundreds of thoughts that go racing through your mind when you see a spider and are debating about the best way to kill it. Of course the #1 rule is never let it out of your sight because it will surely escape and hide and then crawl on you at night. Even though one is totally repulsed to look at it, it is necessary to keep it in view! When it comes to cleaning up the dead body I get a ton of tissues in my hand and even then I am afraid it will come back to life and start to crawl on me.

You are brave to take those pictures while it was still alive. I would have been shaking so bad that they would have been all blurry. Where where Chester and Millie when all of this excitement was going on?
