Animals, Health, Relatable, Spiders and Phobias: They're out to get me

They're out to get me

By Anonymous - 14/09/2023 16:00

Today, the last 8 spiders found in the house have all been in my bedroom. Not the kitchen, or my sister's room, or our parents' room, or front room, laundry, or garage. Always in my room. I’m the only one in the house scared of spiders. The bastards are haunting me, trying to scare me to death. FML

Today, and every day for the last ten days, I’ve woken up in the morning and found another new spider somewhere in my room, ten days in a row. I don’t know where the bastards are coming from but I’m seriously considering sleeping in another room, or buying a new house. FML

Today, some spider must have had babies somewhere in the walls, because every five minutes I seem to find yet another spider on my ceiling, in my cupboards, under the furniture, everywhere. I’m so fed up of smashing them, I’m thinking of getting the house fumigated. FML

Scared to bed

Today, I'm scared to leave my bedroom. During the night, what must have been a giant spider made a web 4 feet wide stretching from the lightbulb to the tv and then down to the desk corner. It's blocking my path to the door and I can't tell where the 8-legged bastard is hiding. FML

Today, I spotted a huge spider in my bedroom. I freaked out at first, but I managed to confront my arachnophobia and killed it with a book. I was ecstatic and went to tell my boyfriend. By the time I returned to my room, the "dead" spider had vanished. Now I'm too scared to sleep. FML

Today, the spiders in my house are so big that they catch wasps in their webs. FML

Today, the amount of spiders in my house has gotten so bad that it's become routine to shake out any blankets or towels before using them. FML

Creepy crawlies

Today, after a particularly gruesome nightmare about spiders due to my irrational phobia, I decided to try and desensitise myself by googling 'house spiders'. I can't stop the feeling of something crawling over every inch of my body, but at least I now know they can live up to six years. FML

Today, some jackass spider decided to lay eggs behind my wall. No matter how many I kill, I always wake up to multiple baby spiders on my ceiling. FML

Today, knowing that I have severe arachnophobia, my brother brought over his friend's tarantula. One hour later, the spider got loose. It's been 5 hours and I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML

Today, I rolled up a newspaper and smashed a huge spider in my room. As I went to scoop it up with a tissue, it lurched away and fell near my bed. I can't find it, but I can sure as fuck sense the pure evil coming from it. Looks like I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight. FML

I got a busted water pipe under my house that caused all those little bastards living underneath to come into my house, so I stayed at a hotel for a night, left my cat with some friends, and fumigated my entire house with a can of bug spray. FYL indeed

Maybe they just don't notice them as much as you, or don't even report them? Everything else is highly unlikely.

Spiders are hunters and migrators they go to where the food is. most spiders hunt bugs you do not want around your house ,so you might want to get your room checked out. If there's an unusual amount of spiders it's because they're hunting a large amount of bugs which are attracted to either; A carcass of some sort or moisture source (like a leaky pipe) or mold.

Most spiders are bros, not foes. If you don't believe me, get to Reddit and check s/spiders and s/tarantulas.

I hear a lot of circus clowns moonlight as exterminators. A bunch of them will come to your house in a little tiny car and take care of your spider problem. Scary problem solved!
