Spiders/Arachnid Unappreciation Thread

[Batz]

Man **** this shit. I can't sleep tonight because of these ****ers. Crawly larger than my hand, just having about in my room like it's his ****ing town.

So what do I do? Throw a basketball at it. I know I know, rule #1 about killing spiders is you DON'T THROW ANYTHING AT IT. But I had to. The shit was crawling right towards my anti-spider shoes - my hyperdunks. And this guy was moving quick, so I just did a dribble pass, and like a Steve Nash and Amar'e PnR, I hit that shit on point.

Problem? It's nowhere to be found. That's right. It's not a problem till it disappears. I hit it. I know I did. My basketball was covered in odd types of fluid that must've come from the spider. But no body. None whatsoever.

So I can't sleep now. Because this ****er might just be sleeping next to me tonight, without me knowing it. How long has it been around? And what if there is more!? This isn't the first time I've seen a giant spider in this house. WHERE ARE THEY BREEDING THIS TYPE!?

So here it is, the Spider unappreciation thread. An entire thread dedicated to wishing absolute extinction on this crap-hole of a species. Is there any use for their kind? Doesn't matter. They have to die. They all have to die. There should a military research unit dedicated to just trying to force extinction on them. Just ****ing wow.

This isn't my only bad spider experience. I have tons. But this one, this one was huge, thick, long, wide. Not your normal house spider, that for ****ing sure. And it was practically crawling underneath my feet for god knows how long. I just wanted to watch Weeds and Breaking Bad before going to bed, but now I gotta declare Jihad on my own room as I clean the **** out of it. :facepalm

Nope. Only on the basketball fortunately.

For some reason my mom is scared of cats and dogs but she thinks spiders are no problemo.

ive had some terrifying dreams of those fukkers, like they were the size of dogs and very aggressive :lebroncry: . but in reality, when i see one, i don't really care or freak out. im just indifferent...

You should have thrown a book or magazine instead. They don't bounce around and most likely the body is going to stay on the book.

Yeah a skylight or something that's completely out of reach that is filled with spiders. Always have people commenting about it, never really tried to get rid of them. Might just now...

[Jameerthefear]

It's waiting... getting stronger.

[Batz]

Holy shit. Eggs?

I guess it's kind of a good thing that you couldn't find the spider's body because that lead you to finding the eggs, which to me is worse.
Yep. At this point getting a professional exterminator involved is not completely out of the question.

What a ****ing coincidence that this thread is here. Just went into my bathroom and turned on the light to wash my face and go to bed and out of the corner of my eye BAM ****ING HUGE BLACK FAST ****ING SPIDER RUNNING FOR COVER. I almost shit myself and ran outta the bathroom and then went back in to try to find and kill the ****er but at first I thought he ran into the shelf so one by one I removed my medicine bottles etc waiting for this mother****er to strike but no sign of him until I realized theres a crack on top of the shelf that he crawled into so I grabbed a bottle of RAID and overkilled it into the cracks so I essentially trapped him in there suffocating to death. I'm just going to assume he's dead for now so I can go to sleep.


tldr **** spiders.

[BrickingStar]

This is why I'm currently living in my hotel right now. I found a huge black spider in my bathroom I just went in drop a frag grenade and ran out my house. safe to say it was worth it. arachnophobia 4 life till i die :pimp:

I have a family of them multiplying in my bathroom. We have everything in my place though. We get tons of flies and I've killed 3 crickets in the past week.

I ****ing hate spiders. They just creep me out. I had my gf over spending the night a week ago or so and I saw one in the corner and was like shit a spider, need to kill that bitch and she got all excited about it saying "no don't kill it, I like spiders" and I'm just like :| "what do you want me to do with it" "catch it and take it outside?" "Forget that, what if I mess up and it falls and gets away, then i'll be thinking about it all night, I'm smashing the shit out of it". She just ended up looking away when I smashed the life out of it.

I had never even entertained the thought of "catching the spider and putting it outside". I was way too lazy to put forth that kind of effort. I was worried he might get away if I tried though, but it was more just the fact that I didn't care to even attempt it when just killing him was so much easier.

[RedBlackAttack]

I had an epic battle with a spider one night in my basement bathroom...

I was brushing my teeth when I noticed some gargantuan hairy spider legs bulging out of a small gap in the molding. At first I thought, "That's got to be a huge f#cking spider, but I'm betting he lives inside the walls and does his insect thing out of sight... I'm just going to let him go."

Of course, while continuing to brush my teeth, I tried to look away from the area but couldn't. Every time I glanced back, he was further and further out of the darkness. By the time I finished in the bathroom (and by finished, I mean immediately vacated once it was fully exposed), this thing was looking straight at me like he was ready for a life and death battle.

I momentarily weighed the options of either never using that bathroom again or meeting the challenge. Eventually, I opted for the latter. I went back in to check on the beast in order to formulate my gameplan and, by this time, his legs were sticking out from behind a large pipe about 3/4 of the way up to the ceiling.

I did a quick scan of the possible weapons at my disposal. I decided on a water bottle and a shoe. The plan was to spray the area around the spider with a mist of water (he was unexposed besides his big hairy legs, at this point) and, when he moved away from the pipe, I would smash him with the shoe.

I entered the bathroom cautiously with shoe and water bottle in hand. I found a spot where I felt safe from any counter-attack, but also close enough to lower the boom. I aimed the water bottle on mist setting and raised the shoe high over my head. This was it. The moment of truth had arrived.

I sent the mist, the beast moved from behind the pipe and stared me straight in the face, I came down hard and fast with the shoe........ And inadvertently smashed the light bulb above my head.

Now, I had obviously enraged a massive spider with the water spray, it was moving around the room and I was in the pitch black. My mind immediately told me to flee the bathroom, but I was completely frozen in place.

Suddenly, there was a swift movement on the wall right beside my head... I acted immediately with the shoe.




And smashed him to bits. I don't know if the adrenaline gave me some kind of super vision/speed, but it was over. He was a worthy opponent.


Good luck with your guy.

You should write a book :applause:

[SourPatchKids]

^ That's pretty epic.

[RedBlackAttack]

:oldlol: :applause:

You should have never used the water though unless it's an inconvenient location for you to initiate your attack. I would grab some body armor (layers of jackets and pants) and get multiple newspapers and magazines. Roll them up and throw the stuff at it.
I couldn't hit him. He was behind a pipe way up almost to the ceiling. It was as though he knew that I was trying to formulate an attack and he found a great spot to thwart any conventional rolled up newspaper offensive.

I had to draw him out from behind that pipe somehow. The water bottle just happened to be handy. It was actually a pretty solid plan. He exposed himself pretty much immediately after being sprayed. I hadn't counted on the basement bathroom having such low ceilings, though, and smashing the light.

I think that room going dark at that moment was scariest thing to ever happen in my life. I mean like horror movie scary.

Amazing. Absolutely brilliant performance. This is gold-medal worthy man.

I've had a hell of a bathroom experience aswell. I told Al Thorton it in the old BTE thread.

So I was on the toilet, in deep thought mode. I'm not the guy who uses their phone or reads a book/paper on the toilet, I like to think. But as I was staring into oblivion, I noticed something move. A big ass brown spider just chillaxing on the wall and could just jump onto my bare dick at any given moment.

What I do? I could get up, but man I'm takin' a shit, don't wanna move till I'm done my shit. So I don't move. I reached for the toilet paper, wrap about half an inch of it around my hand, and smacked the crap out of it. Plastered him right on the wall, dumped it in the toilet, wiped my ass, flushed and did a Arabic Jihad chant throughout the process.

**** Spiders.

[Batz]

I had a similar experience Batz. I was in the bathroom just taking an innocent piss, minding my own business. When I was finished, after flushing I went to go wash my hands. Well as soon as I step away from the toilet, this big ass, brown spider shoots down from its web, RIGHT ABOVE where my head was. Then, after it's failed attack it quickly began to scurry back up on its web into the fan vent.

I had one of those slow moment instances right here; when time seems to dilate and you have a million things going through your head at once. I was so relieved that I had somehow evaded this voracious predator (not to mention I didn't have a haircut at the time so it would've gotten tangled in my curls) but was too shocked to move to try and kill it. Plus it was so damn fast. I just washed my hands and ran out of the bathroom.

It didn't help that I had to take a crap about 20 minutes later. I never pondered doing something so trivial for so long in my life.
You took a crap 20 minutes later? Holy shit, no pun intended. But there's no way I would've gone back in there after having such an experience, an experience where the spider doesn't die. :roll:

Spiders can be real ******s. I killed 3 the other day, all in a 30 sec span, at my work. Turns out this guard shack I chill in all day has spiders and other bugs crawling around underneath it, and from time to time, those mother****ers like to pop up in here and see what's good.

[blacknapalm]

man, i'm just glad i don't get any real big shit around here. i have noticed more spiders lately but none of them like that. if my cat is around, she'll kill/eat it :lol usually try to take it away from her though to avoid cleaning up any mess later.

thought about tenting before but that is such a bitch. so many things you have to take out/seal up....then you have to find a place to stay for a couple days.

death to spiders...i may be ignorant to them but that's where most of the irrational fear comes from. i can't differentiate between the good and bad. they all look like evil, plotting bastards to me.

i also was amused by the fact that i walked through a spiderweb the other day near the driveway and started flailing my arms like a maniac who lost his meds. i'm sure the neighbor thinks i'm even more weird. why you fvckers build huge spanning webs across doorways?

Haha trust me you're not the only one. I remember a couple of times doing the same to the shit-heads in my backyard. They're building a colony there.

I remember when I first moved into the house, and was about to take my first shower here actually. Walked in, flip the lights on, moved the shower curtains aside and there was daddy long freaking legs just being all cool. I turned on the water shouting kamehamehah as it went down the shower drain. From that day, I knew shit was gonna be series. :lol


:lol I held it for like 3 or 4 hours. But it wouldn't go away. When I went in there I turned on all the lights and tried to contort my body so I could shit and look up at the fan at the same time but it was coming out so slowly. It was like my days in middle school: trying to hurry up and take a shit in between classes before anyone else came into the bathroom.
What a perfect analogy. :oldlol: No Spiders today for me thankfully. But they're planning something... I know it.

Try living in Australia... lol. Those mofos get huge here. They're not dangerous, poisonous for the most, but they're just huge and scary looking.

The worst thing about seeing a spider is, the moment when you look for something to destroy it with, look back to where the spider was, and its gone... I can't be in that room anymore unless I find that sucker and kill it.

I've also had several moments where I've cracked under pressure with these things. I got a perfect line up to smack the shit out of this monster, and I miss from 2 feet out with my shoe... Which leads to panic mode of little flurry hits just trying to get enough hits to stun this thing which can lead me to get the killer blow again, which I should have had the first time around if I had not shat myself.

Pretty sure everyone knows Australia is where nightmare insects come to life. From the f#cking eight-legged, hairy monsters crawling around the land to the great whites splashing around in the water, I have no desire to go to Australia... Unless I decided to die in a really epic way.

don't forget about the red kangaroo. those things can grow taller than the average man and weight 300+ pounds. that's not exactly like running into a deer...it's like hitting a brick wall. my cousins used to tell me stories of people they know who would hit one of those guys and it would just total their vehicle. then the guy would hop off and leave...badly hurt but still

It isn't that bad. In fact, Shark Attacks are pretty rare on the whole, so are spider and snake bites to boot.

This is a short list of animals to watch out for in Australia:

Taipan (can kill 250 humans with one drop of venom, also most venomous snake in the world) they are prominant in some areas, but are not commonly found around capital cities or coastal areas, so their contact with humans is minimal. I personally have encountered a Taipan when I was with the army in townsville, however townsville is one of its most prominant areas so I wasn't surprised.

Funnel Web Spider (can kill a grown person in less than 2 minutes) is the most venomous spider in the world, makes it's home in holes in the ground covering its hole with a cotton wool like roof. It's commonly known as the Sydney funnel web spider, so think next time before you think of heading to sydney again :lol: They are ugly looking and even though Ive lived in Australia my whole life, the thought of seeing one gives me the serious creeps. People in Sydney do find them floating on the top of the pool water surface, sometimes see 6 or 8 of them.

Blue Ringed Octopus (Really shouldn't worry about too much, they are found in rock pools at the beach and they are rarely seen due to the fact that they hide, and rarely come into contact with humans)

Great White Shark ( Normally found in colder waters surrounding Australia, however do cross into warmer waters occasionally. Although great whites are incredibly scary, they rarely attack people, and the areas in which they have attacked, have been in colder waters where tourists/people don't often swim or surf. Only exception would be West Australia where the water is warmer and there have been attacks. Thankfully I've never encountered one on my years of surfing).

Urikanji or Boxed Jelly Fish commonly found in tropical waters off North Queensland, there are signs everywhere to warn people where they are, so again, not really any threat to humans.

Then finally the saltwater crocodile, commonly found in rivers and estuaries, rarely attack or come into contact with humans as they are not found in populated areas.

Hope this helps all the yanks here for next time you travel to Australia :) If that hasn't turned you off, with have great waves, surf, beaches and people here, it's definately worth at least 1 trip.

I don't know why people fear them, they are actually useful for your house, they kill all the dirty insects like flies, roaches and other disgusting creatures that dare invade your house. My dad taught me to never kill a spider because they clean up the garbage without even bothering you. You rarely notice them, they hide like ninjas and keep your house clean.

Appreciate spiders, they are your friends. How can you hate this guy?

1:10 AM and killing a bunch of em... I'm too tired for this shit.

[gigantes]

For some reason my mom is scared of cats and dogs but she thinks spiders are no problemo.
they aren't. spiders get no benefit from biting humans, and their mouthparts aren't even designed for that anyway.

i read an article the other day that stated that out of all patients who seek medical attention for spider bites, only 4% or so actually had spider bites. of that 4%, most were due to a human initiating the contact and the spider trying to defend itself.

there's also the fact that very few spiders have venom that threatens us, anyway.

spiders do nothing but help us 99.9% of the time and yet we seem to want to kill them upon sight. who's the villain, here...?

most people get scared when they see a spider, there must be a reason for this.......

a reason such as, humans are prey to many shared irrational phobias?

if so, then yes... i agree.

perhaps there once were giant spiders walking the earth, dangerous to humans.........and the fear is still nested in the human brain ?

Went camping with friends over the weekend. It was this tiny, not really out of a city camping that they set up, but we found a nest of black widows in the port-o-potties that were 20 feet from our tents. Luckily, nobody got bit even though we had the occasional black widow visit our campfire (and 1 wolf spider), and 2 visit one of our tents. A couple of the girls slept in their car. F*ck black widows.

:eek: oh shit...........guess that is the price you have to pay for great nature experiences !? where was this, if i may ask

[ClutchOver9000]

Fear of spiders and snakes is psychologically innate I'd guess. Instincts tell us to avoid venomous creatures.

Plus, when you add in the fact that they move in manners considered strange (spiders and their 8 legged crawl, snakes slither), and its not hard to see why most ppl are unnerved by them.

My personal fear are american cockroaches (some ppl call them waterbugs) though. Funny enough I'm not bothered by the regular small roaches (germans)...just the giant american ones. I will never forgive the powers-that-be for granting these abominations with the ability to fly...

I've always found it odd that I'm phobic to a specific species of insect... :lol

[Batz]

In the room across from mine, by the window, I kid you not there are roughly 20 dead spider bodies with 5 other live spiders hanging on webs.


This is when you know that life hates you.

spiders don't even like to bite humans. their mouth-parts are all wrong for the job.

emergency rooms apparently admit a large number of patients every year who claim to have been bitten by spiders. after testing, the number of people who actually got bothered by a spider is around 2% of them, IIRC.

the chances of the two most deadliest spiders in the USA... the brown recluse and the black widow... killing a human being is microscopic set against all the other agents, such as poor health, car crash, home accident, etc.

in australia it's a different story, but oz is oz... land of toxic animals.


personally i got over my fear a long time ago, and have learned to embrace spiders. they are some of our best arthropod friends of all... maybe next to the mantids. they give us awesome pest control... none of which really want to mess with us, and then along comes motherf--king PEOPLE in civilisation who claim spiders are turrible. (words of sir charles barkley)


so tell me this: WTF is the real threat of spiders to you personally, other than the freak-out factor. huh?

i see, thanks ....i did some reading: ...Rapid population growth in the mid-2000s altered the appearance and image of Lake Elsinore from a small lakeside town of 3,800 people in 1976 to a bedroom community of upper middle-class professionals. The city was ranked as the 12th fastest growing city in California between 2000 and 2008.[12] There are now over 51,821 residents as of the 2010 census and formerly open hillsides have been converted into housing tracts


:cry: animals are mad and sad

Yeah, not sure I want to go back there.

Quotes from quick Google searches from people at Lake Elsinore:


picked up a parts car to fix up my daily that is infested with black widow spiders and a lot of eggs.


My wife and I have found several black widows in and outside of our home and a few brown recluse


We have tons of black widows and wolf spiders so far that i've seen.


Black Widows aren't all that dangerous, got dozens of them around my house in the nooks and crannies. I did see a strange looking one the other day though (Bullshit on the not dangerous part though)


Do not at this hotel the first weekend I stayed I woke up to ants and water bugs this was in a excecutive suite, I returned the following weekend ti find a black widow with a web of babies and dead roaches they were feeding off of.


Female black widow spiders in Lake Elsinore Ca are large and black have and red hour glass on their abdomen. The males are smaller, with longer legs and a black and yellow designs. Black widow spiders in Lake Elsinore Ca are poisonous. The female bites are more poisonous than the male. They are one of the few spiders in Lake Elsinore Ca that can actually kill you. The female black widow spider actually kills their male black widow spider after mating. The female spider will lays 300-400 eggs.

A camper from the same camp site I went to:
If there were an option to put zero stars I would. This camp site is absolutely awful. Getting to the spot on the lake where you are actually permitted to swim and float is not conviently close, its at least a drive away and the water is full of algae which makes it smell. There are bugs and spiders everywhere. Granted this is camping, however I do not feel like it is ideal to have to squish a cockroach every 5 feet. The only barhrooms available are port o pottys and they are infested with black widows. If you do not have a problem with ants, cockroaches, black widows, wolf spiders, and other various insects this is the place for you. If you are willing to take a chance be prepared to sleep in your car. DO NOT COME!

Yeah, f*ck that place.

[tomtucker]

natures way of saying "leave this place alone" ? maybe they could set some nice birds out that could eat all the bugs............... but no bird can perhaps eat those spiders ?

[bergs14]

Doesn't Australia have like giant spiders and shit? That place is a jungle. Spiders terrify me.

I think the biggest spiders we have are the huntsman spider. Pretty well harmless to humans, but scary as shit when they just pop up. Anyone ever pulled down the windshield in their car and had a spider just sitting there? I have and just about caused a pile up.

But anyway, as for giant spiders, I think those Camel-spider things from Egypt (or wherever) are ridiculous. Like half-spider/half-scorpion. Thankful we don't have them.

[I<3NBA]

i pretty much leave spiders alone in our house. they're great at keeping our house mosquito free. the only thing i hate are their webs. shits make the rooms all dusty.

no need to fear poison from spiders unless they're of the colorful variety.

if you want a real problem, try bed bugs.

they are on the rise across urban areas of the US. they make hidden nests around your bed, then creep out to feed on you when you fall asleep.

spiders don't have mouthparts designed to bite humans. bed bugs have mouthparts custom-designed to suck our blood.
