This is the spider I didn't kill!

You can't really see it well on this pic, it doesn't seem as big and disgusting as it really was, but.. it'll give you an idea of the challenge that it was.

I have arachnophobia, which means, I am scared of spiders, small, big, alive, dead.. they paralyse me, litterally. This spider, which was about 3 inches squared including the legs, white, hairy, and obviously VERY pregnant, or obese, was on my mosquito net, right by my pillow, where my head had been laying for a while before noticing.. the spider may even have travelled on my hair, or.. HORRIBLE.

Now I didn't kill it.. I GOT RID OF IT. ALONE. I did not scream and wake the whole house I didn't get my mom who always deals with the insects without fear (she grew up in Ivory Coast, Africa, there's much worse insects there than the Occident). NO, I took care of it myself. Which I had never done in my life. I was paralyzed staring at it with cold sweat and pounding heart for about 10 mins, but then I found the courage in me to go to the kitchen, get a tupperware container, and I grabbed my hair spray. I only sprayed it a bit (it turned black then :/) to make it move to the matress where I could more easily make it fall into the container.. I made it fall into it with a spatula. I immediately closed the container, and put it in the kitchen for my parents to take care of in the morning.. before writing on it with a marker: "WARNING, huge spider inside, ALIVE, take care of putting outside, I have already done more than I thought I ever could" hahaha.. how dramatic when you think about it.. my poor parents in the morning with a spider in a box to take care of!

Anyways, pic is attached.

 

so you put a live spider in a sealed tupperware container to be dealt with tomorrow?

 

Was it ultra hold or super? At least the spider will look good. :biggrin:

 

Shut up.. that was a HUGE effort!

 

It was ultra-gloss something.. true the spider's hair could have used a little shine.

 

I can't use hairspray because I associate it with spiders. I don't know why but the little creatures like to live up in the corner above my shower. ack

 

Thank you for not killing it. I also have arachnophobia but I realized long ago that as creepy as they are they are beneficial and sometimes entertaining.

Like Makaveli Reborn.

SNAP!

 

Is that a fucking cat? That is a giant goddamn spider.

 

You know what really disturbs me is HOW it could get in my room.. why MY room anyways, this always happens to me, I always end up with all the monsters.. I mean can you please look at it? It looks like the Aliens face huggers. Only a little smaller.

My room is always closed with closed windows and A.C on high, I don't understand. Someone must have left the door open while I was away.

I don't even need that mosquito net, it's only decoration.

 

Were you eating your curds and whey when the spider attacked

Thank you for agreeing with me!

 

My mother has arachnophobia, she's so bad she can't watch any of those sci fi giant spider movies, she'll flip out, have nightmares and stuff.

 

Holy shit, no, I see why you thought that was a big deal. That spider is scary! We have a few spiders in here, they live in doorways and windowsills and unless they're deadly, we leave them be, because they leave us alone and just chill waiting for unsuspecting food. They keep the other bugs down. But I can tell you as soon as one decided to make itself comfy anywhere near my bed, I'd be flipping out. I don't want them crawling on me. *shudders*

 

Then she might not appreciate this clip

Not too bad. I don't recognize the type offhand.

You should consult with Sarah. She had a giant hairy tarantula in her kitchen down in Costa Rica.

It is pretty big, you should take the container and open it outside, because it's gonna die in there.

 

My parents have already done it.. and according to my mom, the spider was still pretty hyper when it got out!!

 

Yay!

Happy Laety! Happy spider!

 

Wow..that's disgusting!!

 

Yes, she was. I saw the whole thing. It was horrific!

Here's a video of Penny's reaction after she realized the spider had sat down beside her:
