Its more than a month away, what is this?
I like how everyone calls him a pussy for having an very common phobia. Funny story though.
[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;25039143]Seems fake, I can't imagine somebody that scared of fake spiders in a K-Mart store. You should go in there expecting to see spiders because it's near Halloween...[/QUOTE]
A phobia is irrational, what you may think nobody would be afraid of, others are extremely afraid of. A kid in my biology class 2 years back started freaking out over a picture of a spider in a textbook even though he knew it was fake.

Stores are already putting stuff out for Christmas. Stores always do this.
That sucks but it is kinda funny.
What would the woman say to the police if she had called them?
"I thought a man was shoplifting, he proved to me he wasn't"
the earlier they put it out, the earlier people buy them, more money for the shop.
arachnophobia is for pussies. you literally have to be a biggest pussy in the entire universe to be scared of spiders.

Maybe you should read up on what a phobia actually is.

Just because it's common doesn't mean that he didn't over-react to fake spiders.

i'm usually okay if it's a picture or in a cage or something, but any creepy crawly that's out and about in my room or something gets me really paranoid.

Since a phobia is irrational, then couldn't you classify any phobia is over-reacting?
Phobias are weird. I don't doubt him at ALL, because I used to be exactly the same way. Going into a store around Halloween was an absolute fucking terror because of the fake spiders.
A lady asked me if I needed a ambulance because on my way out, I was shivering, white as a ghost, and sweaty, I must have looked like I was ready to tip over dead.

What I meant to say is that people shouldn't call others pussies over something they can't control. Arachnophobics don't really think if something is real or not, they see something that resembles a spider and freak out. It may be over-reacting to you, but not to people who have arachnophobia or seen people freak out from it firsthand.
A phobia is a deep set subconscious fear of something. Calling someone a pussy over it is stupid. It's something that takes a long time to overcome for most people.

Indeed I have a fear of heights and if I could fix the problem then I would have done it a long time ago.

No this forum tries to be something it isn't, which is social.
The wonderful guys at SA bask in the fruits of their nerdiness. They don't go to meet ups to chill and smoke weed, they go to meet ups to find more D&D players in their area.
Everyone there is a nerd in some way or another. Like myself, I only post in racing game threads and the Formula 1 thread. It's all I need.
Sub communities in sub communities. :dance:

Also, the 10 dollars really does filter out the idiots. The maturity levels on SA are unmatched.

Why are spiders associated with Halloween anyway?
It'd be like associating dolphins with Yom Kippur, completely arbitrary.

He should've punched the guy with that spider thingy.

:doh:
Haha what the hell, how can you flip out so much, when knowing it's fake?
And how do i know this isn't another one of those SA fake made up stories?
Well the Target I work at has a giant fucking witch that laughs every time you walk by it. I was there after hours, and it scared the shit outta me.
So I can relate to this guy and spider, but what I can't believe is this story. No retail store could be this rude.

Exactly. If you post something like this in GD, you're gonna need some proof you're not a troll.
