I used to not mind spiders. After this thread I'm terrified of them.
Let's get some jumping spiders in this thread. Those are the only spiders I'm capable of looking at without having to pick my feet off of the floor.
The worst part is when you're keeping track of a spider like in the shower or something, and you look away for [b]one freaking second[/b] and when you look back the spider is gone.
The thing that scares me is how unpredictable they are. With most animals you can tell if they're happy or angry, but with spiders, they always stay exactly still, and then suddenly they scuttle along quite slowly, and you try to squash one or walk near one and it runs at you really fast and it's just URRGGGHHHH. The legs are so thin and long and hairy and they're just vile.

Hey guys what's going on?... :ohdear: Oh I see you all hate me. That's okay, I'll be going.
I was listening to some epic orchestral music when I read the op, made the entire "war against spiders" so much better.
[u][b]SPIDER SURVIVAL GUIDE[/b][/u]
[b]WEAPONS[/b]
Get a spraybottle and fill it with a poison, and adjust it to the "jet" spray for long-range combat. Take a flyswatter and use that for medium-range combat. Hit them with your hand (Or use a garden glove or towel if, like me, you prefer not to get your hands dirty) for up-close attacks.
Those makeshift weapons will be good for your everyday life, sitting at the computer or generally anywhere in the house, but someone has to sleep.
[b]SLEEPING [/b]
Close the doors, ALL OF THEM (It slows the progress from room to room), especially your bedroom door. Look for possibly entries near where the floors meet the walls, and if you see them, plug them up with towel or something. Close windows, vents, and generally close up any way they could get into your room.
For added protection, sleep with your blankets tucked in under yourself, leaving only your head exposed. You could put a mask on, or better yet, just sleep in a sleeping bag with the entire thing zipped up. You will be completely safe.
[b]ARMOR[/b]
For additional protection, wear earplugs while sleeping, an eye mask (those fuzzy things fancy ladies put over their eyes to block out light) or a bandanna to make sure they can't get by your eyes, and then put something breathable over your mouth.
[b]TRAPS[/b]
Get a large roll of doublesided tape, put it on the floors around your areas you are stationary in such as your computer chairs or sleeping space, and possibly on the ceiling above you if you feel necessary.
[b]REPRODUCTION[/b]
See a web anywhere? Destroy it. See any little white balls, smaller than a pea? DESTROY THEM AND CRUSH THEM AND BURN THEM. Those are spider egg sacs. They have many, many baby spiders in them.
[b]HELPERS[/b]
Other than other people, cats will be intrigued by the moving spiders, and possibly bat them to death.
[b]QUESTIONS[/b]
[QUOTE=Vinze;24790475]Yeah, do you know any nice place where they serve a decent Ham & Cheese toast? :v:[/QUOTE]
You could probably make something, and it would taste a lot better with all the hard work you put into it.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SPIDERS AND SPIDER DEFENSE?

Spiders aren't bad. It's like the OP said, when they surprise you. I have to kill it when I see it because I don't want that shit crawling on me when I'm sleeping. Or having babies.
I like small spiders, and I like tarantulas, but that's it. Tarantulas are scaled better, I hate the big spiders with a massive abdomen and spindly legs.
[QUOTE=littleicyman;24776168]I forgot, where is this from again? I thought it was some email where the guy was paying somebody with the drawing.[/QUOTE]

I keep moving back from my screen when a spider image pops up. I really don't like them. Was trying to kill one that was sitting on my brothers wall the other night and when I tried to hit it, it fell under his bed. We waited a while, and decided to come back to it after we'd went to the kitchen to get some stuff to eat. When we came back up it was sitting in the middle of the floor. We both walked around it and I was about to say "It's funny, it looks like it's going to charge and it's just actually sitting there." But I didn't get to finish the sentence because the bastard came charging at me full speed. I hoped over it it, it turned around and it came charging at me again before my brother squashed it. Was a good laugh.
Jumping spiders are harmless

[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;24788997]Me and my friends go spider hunting with airsoft guns. We live in south Florida so theres banana spiders and those orb weaving ones or whatever. Anyway, they explode when you shoot them.

I was watching Shutter Island yesterday in my room, after the movie finished I looked at my window and noticed something below the radiator and it was the same spider in the picture you posted, I just grabbed my shoe and smashed the bastard, I would not be able to sleep knowing there is a spider that big in my room.

The only spider I can tolerate are the jumping spiders.

They look cute.
I just remembered I left a spider in the warehouse freezer today (I work on a fruit and veg department in a supermarket, and we're supposed to capture and freeze any unusual insects we see coming in with stock).
It'll give the night shift a surprise anyway.

When thousands and thousands of these meet to lay their eggs, they turn stuff into this:[/QUOTE]
Actually that IS a spider web, it was in a news thread a while back, let me dig up the link.
Thanks to this thread, i am now looking in all the dark corners of my apartment. Fucking spiders, i hate them. It sucks when they rappel right down infront of your face. It's like they can sense your fear, and do it on purpose.

Get a cat. When they see something moving, and dangling in mid air, they're on it like convicts on a trannie...
Wheres Postal this is his kind of thread.
I think i heard that you don't eat spiders when you sleep, but i do know it's a myth, or Rumor.

[QUOTE=Daddy-of-war;24783214]I only like daddy long legs and jumping spiders.[/QUOTE]
I fucking hate spiders, but I think daddy longlegs are awesome.
We have them in a few rooms in our house, but we leave them there because all they do is chill out in their webs the corners of ceiling, catching and eating any other type of annoying bugs.
They're like a part of the family. :3:
