mcsheepie Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Firstly. its too far up the wall for me to swat, and secondly, that would involve going near it. (and thirdly, it is big, not really the swatable(?) size)I'd hoover the stupid thing off the wall but the hoovers in the kitchen and the spiders just sitting above the door, looks like i'm not going in the kitchen for a while.

mcsheepie Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Ok, my spider fear is no longer irrational, they really are out to get me. Decided to try the deodorant method, stood up and the fickin thing was sitting beside my chair! It came after me, who says spiders are more scared of us than we are of them?

KarmaTsunami Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 you could try throwing something heavy at it from a distance. like a brick or a boot. but there's always the danger you'll miss and the little shit will come racing towards you.i fucking HATE spiders.

delboy Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 good idea in theory but if you miss, it could anger it and what it if has some pals nearby as spiders often do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone G Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Anyone want to share their spider tortures? Of course i was much younger when i did these things, so dont go mouthing off at my apparent cruelty.Death 1: A spider dropped on my head just as i was about to drop off to sleep. Fuckin freaked me out, so i found the bugger, and got it in a glass. Then proceded to boil the kettle, put boiling water into a bowel, and dropped the poor wee bugger into it. It went absolutely mental for a second, and then died. Shame.Death 2: Was hanging around with my sisters boyfriend, who works for an audio visual company. and we found a spider, took it outside and covered it in glue and set fire to it. Harsh. As. Fook.Like i said, dont go mouthing off at me, it was ages ago. And they are only spiders. They are probably trying to kill me anyway.

PrincessHolly Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I once found a spider in my room, so I put a glass on top of it, a postcard under the glass, a magazine under the postcard, carried the whole thing through to the kitchen while it was freaking out, put it in the middle of the floor, put a plate on top, put a mug on top of that, figured it still might manage to knock all that over and get back in my room, so i built a fort around it too. In the morning my uncle came into my room and just went "What the fuck?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsheepie Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I can finally go to sleep, the stupid thing is under a tub, still alive but contained. Will stay there til i find someone brave enough to lift the box and deal with the angry spider.karma, do you always have a brick lying around incase of spider attack?And, as far as spider torture goes. The last spider i dealt with had possibly the most embarrasing spider death ever. It was in a corner, i figured a thrown shoe could easily miss, so i threw a wad of wet bog roll at the thing, trapped it, then squished it.

Wishbone G Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 You guys are really scaring me with all this talk of spiders. The state my room is in right now is dispicable. Its a blanket of old clothes and magazines and cds and empty bottles and stuff. And there could be spiders ANYWHERE in that. Ready to crawl up onto my bed at night, into my mouth, eating my soul....
