Completely understandable.

What is the point of replying with "WHAT!!" on a received post?

you can't exactly talk in a picture
he couldn't just push it away with a stick?
I'm a postman myself, through rain, sleet and hail
but spiders is where I draw the line
I can understand this man's train of thoughts
I would need to see a picture of this 'massive spider web' before being able to have an opinion on how silly this may or may not be.
oh hey i see those kind of spiders at my school all the time
last time i saw one munching on a fly
I always thought it was the dogs postmen had to worry about, never considered spiders and other nasty things that you'd encounter in an outdoor postbox.
One of those made a home near the front door of my apartment, and its web was very impressive.
I named it Legs Luthor.
Postman Facepunch.

Honestly, some people just can not help it.

I've heard of bees, wasps and hornets nesting in mailboxes. That would be a more than acceptable excuse IMO. This seemed to be less so - a tiny, non-toxic spider and a wide but weak web.

"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dead of night, will - wait, is that a spider? Yeah fuck that, get your own mail."
As a fellow arachnophobe, I can more than understand this.
Spiders disgust me beyond belief, regardless of size, and thanks to this thread I can't stop imagining them in my office or crawling over my shoulder.

I can't. The second I see a spider for-reals I have a fucking panic jolt shoot through me and I become compelled to either run like fuck or batter the cunt.

I do this with the cellar spiders (aka Daddy Long Legs).
They are pretty chill.
Honest to god if you have ever got up form your seat after being on your computer for 10 hours and see a huge black fucking hairy spider crawling around the back of your monitor, what would you do?
Granted this spider isn't big black or hairy but some people just hate spiders, like me.

Spiders prefer it under blankets.

Glad to know I can provide a safe haven for the fuckers.
Could be worse, could be australian spiders hehe.

Yeah, and some people are insensitive assholes too.

I actually tried exposure therapy once.
It didn't go well...
[sp]I almost fainted and managed to shit myself while touching a spider.[/sp]
At least I can get close to them
Neither Rain, nor Sleet, nor Snow could stop the mailman from delivering the mail. but ask them to go through a spider web? NOPENOPENOPENOPE

Except for Sydney Funnel web spiders. Those are assholes and only exist to kill.
Ill never know what it's like to be an arachnophobe, my dad's one, a couple of friends I know are.
I had one as a pet I'd see almost everyday at elementary school recess, pretty chill things.
