The great spider ordeal of Sunday night

I hate insects, I hate them, their small, their dirty, they crawl and their crunchy. *shudders* I wont kill any insect though, Its cruel and unnecessary. I just don’t like to touch them, but Sunday night I had no choice!

I was watching CSI in bed at 2:30am and all of a sudden a spider crawled out of my pillow and ran along my bed right next to me, I swear to god I’ve never screamed that much when I’ve seen a spider before! After about five minutes of “omgomgomgomgwhatdoidowhatdoido” I managed to trap the little bugger under my bin. It was about 2″ so not *that* little.

The ONE night I don’t check under my pillows there’s one there. (yes I’m that paranoid) So he’s running around under the bin, which is now weighted down with 100 books in case he’s a body building spider and can lift the bin. I can’t find my bug spray, I usually sleep with it by the bed but we had another incident the day before that required the spray so it was downstairs. He’s trapped though but I don’t want to get back into bed.

I’m thinking what to do, can I be bothered to change the sheets? (my bed has to be clean) I don’t get a chance to answer that question because another one comes out of my bed and it was MUCH bigger, like 4″! It ran around the room a bit taunting me because I have nothing to trap it with or bug spray and I’m not whacking it with anything.

I gave up in the end, I dragged the un-spider touched bits of my bed downstairs and slept in the living room!

I hate and fear spiders as much as you do. my secret weapon for them is the vacuum cleaner. A few days ago a REALLY huge spider appeared in my bathroom and I swear this thing was as big as a human hand. a human adult hand. Just got it with the cleaner and peace came over me again XP

I hate spiders too, so that is awful that you had two big ones. We have had a couple that were big, but the cat ate one, which I was thankful for. I had one in my bed too, I was reading a book and it came out from under the covers, I screamed loudly too. Everytime I go to bed I check the curtains for spiders, not my pillows, as that is where they seem to hide. Eww, makes me feel creepy talking about it.

That’s pretty bad. My friend’s sister ran out of the house and down the road after seeing a spider once. Which is kind of funny for me, but I’m sure it wasn’t funny at all for her.

Gawd… I hate bugs too! 2″ then 4″, are you serious? I would have been freakin’ hysterical. But, those spiders would have been whacked, stomped, squished some how!
I would be so scared to go back in that room lol…

I love this theme! It is amazing! I hate spiders too! I can’t stand them being right near me or on me but I don’t scream like that haha. I scream when they are on me so I know how you feel. Buy a stock of it and just have it by your bed AT ALL TIMES haha. Good luck :)

I’m not really afraid of bugs. Unless they’re flying in my face or are poisonous. In my new house, there are TONS of spiders. I find a new one every week. I get a little scared though when I find a black widow though. Like the one I found about two weeks ago. That was really scary, because it was right where I was gardening and I could have been bitten.

Ew, spiders! I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I saw spiders crawling out of/around my bed.

What Celeste said ;)

And at times I really do worry about you! I often wondered how you put up with me. I’m not that untidy and hygenic (regular showers and cleans and all), but by goodness, that’s just insane!

Oh man i would have been freaking out bugs belong outside not in the house and when they show themselves even though they are so tiny i freak out. Usually my cat will get them. I always feel like there are more crawling on me after wards to that’s the worst part!

I’m not so worried about Spiders as I am cochroaches(sp?). I can handle a spider, just shoo it outside, or trap it in a jar and let it outside etc, but a huge cochroach and i start screaming and freaking out. No idea why, they can’t bite or hurt, but they just look so crawley and disgusting.
once I was sleeping and the room was pitch black, but i kept hearing a crawling sound. So I was looking around and crapping myself thinking wtf is that. then I jumped out of bed and turned the light on and saw one scurry behind the cupboard and I was like omg what do I do? I went back to bed with the light on and waited for it to come out and soon enough it did and ran around the walls again and there was no way I could sleep. So I ran to the kitchen grabbed a jar, and ran back and captured it in the jar. I screwed the lid on the jar and then put heaps of books on top (you know in case it knew how to unscrew tight jars) and I still slept with the light on afraid more would come out to get me.
