Thread: Spiders

  1. #31
    What a bunch of WIMPS!!!! Yes, you are all wimpos, sheesh. Now what is a LITTLE spider really going to do unless it's a black widow or brown recluse? They hardly bite, and yes I am afraid of some of them, but not like you all. You all just gave me a huge laugh this morning I almost fell out of my chair. I feel sorry for any spider that ends up in your house. And if you think I'm being rude, chances are your right. Man oh man.


    I mean think about it? What really are they going to do to you? Chances are they are in your bed at night ANYWAY. Yes they may bite, but you know what, it doesn't hurt a bit, and I know because I've been bitten several times during the night when I accidently roll over on the poor things. I mean, hello, you would bite too if you had a 100 pound person laying on you. Other than that they leave you alone.


    The only ones I am scared of is of course ones that if they bite me something terrible happens, like BW's and BR's. There is no need to kill them. Just catch them with a jar and relocate them somewhere outside your house. I am also afraid of the huge garden spiders, but that's because they are the size of my hand and I know I would feel it if they bite. Chances are NO-ONE would be afraid of spiders if it weren't for the media and people thinking they would bite them. If you knew they didn't bite most people would hold them and have no fear.

    I love tarantulas but I wouldn't hold one of the bigger ones because they DO hurt if they bite. Ever see those fangs on their face? Some are two inches long, now what's something to be afraid of, not a tiney jumping spider that will do no harm but bother you because he's sitting above your bed........

    Its called a phobia. A lot of ppl have silly phobias which they have no reason to be afraid of it. Like clowns. What the heck is a clown going to do to you? I think spiders are just gross looking and creepy which freaks me out. I'm sorry you find my phobia to be unright or silly but unfortanatly its not something I asked to have. No offence, but I took what you said be be kinda rude, and I really see no reason to be rude just because someone sees things different from you. As I see it, my mom is also afraid of spiders, she probably freaked out at one all through out my childhood which somehow got it inmy brain to be afraid of them. Its like classical conditioning. If you ring the bell before a dog eats and it salivates, eventually he will saliavte by the sound of just the bell, right? So how is this any different? I'm sure you have your phobias too. My mom happens to have aracnophobia because where she is from they had tons of BW spiders which she has seen many. I assume she passed it off to me in some what by freaking out when seeing them. Sorry if I took what you said to be wrong, but honestly I don't think you have the right to say its silly we are afraid of spiders. The fact is I know they can't hurt me, but I have no control over the fact I think they are gross discusting creatures.

    OMG! LOL LOL ROTFLOL!

    Luckies4me! You're blaming fear of spiders on the media? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not scared of spiders in the sense that I think they'll do something to me. I just find them sooooooooo, creepy, icky, gross, and ugly. Its their looks that I despise, and their creepiness, and the media has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Yep, I know I'm mean. Any spider that enters my house is promptly destroyed...........flushed down the toilet, squished, vacuumed, whatever. He he he he

    Now don't try to convince me that spiders are cute, because I will *never* fall for that.

    I think PT takes things way too seriously, lol. That's all I have to say. And I do recall me saying that yes, I WAS being rude.

    And if you think I'm being rude, chances are your right.
    Oh yes I DO have the right to think it's silly. And PCB, you have a sense of humour. Didn't think people would catch that.

    slleipnir, the media thing was a joke if you didn't notice. PCB got it. Great job PCB!!!


    Hey everything else gets blamed on the media, what makes spiders any different? Maybe I just have a wacked sense of humour......

    I'm scared of them when they fall while I'm squishing them. Then I SCREAM! The big fat ugly nasty black ones are the ones I fear. But my brother, he fears all spiders. He wakes me up at 2am to kill them in his room if he sees one.

    BTW LuckyDucky..............what do you mean?

    WOW Thanks slleipnir, I will take that as a compliment. Cheer up, wake up, and stop caring about what other people write. I'm not trying to be funny, if you haven't noticed. I guess after you hit your twenties things are interpreted differently.


    See everything on Pet Talk has an ending that can be scripted, that's the REAL funny thing.

    Thanks PCB for the nick. Tee hee. I think it's cute! really, though I do, and I am being serious. But yes it was a joke. The whole thing was a joke, hence me being rude.........nevermind, guess you have to be in my shoes to understand. There are only a select few here at PT who might be able to understand what this is about.


    Hey Pops, have you heard my Lucky song yet?
