Today, I faced down the Godzilla of all spiders. I smashed the goddamned holy shit out of it. Trying to impress my cute new roommate, I scooped up the remains and showed him. It was his pet tarantula. FML

How do u impress someone by showing the smashes remains of a dead spider?

I would have done the same thing. The spider should not have been crawling around free, and he should have told u about his pet when moving in.

Who came up with the idea to have spiders as pets. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me that their scary.

Sorry, I need a question mark for the first sentence.

No, I'm sure very few people would agree that their scary. They might, however, agree that they're scary.

I love tarantulas. Only reason spiders are scary to me is because they're tiny and could be anywhere. Tarantulas are big enough to keep fairly good track of, thus allowing them to be kept as pets and removing søme of the creep factor.

Where do you live that you wouldn't realize a spider that size isn't wild

We don't have huge spiders in Arizona. Coyotes, yes. Scorpions, yes. Racist political figures, yes. Freakin wild tarantulas, no. (at least not in the more occupied places, anyways)

Oregon...exactly where OP is from. They have a ton of large bugs of all sorts, and regardless, if you saw a giant ******* spider in your house what exactly would you do? Especially if you live somewhere that giant spiders AREN'T common in.

That's odd. I've lived in Oregon for nearly 20 years and I've never seen a bug or a spider that was larger than an inch.

I live in Australia. We get pretty huge ones here that can come into houses.

I've never seen a native spider comparable to a tarantula in Oregon. That being said we do have several species that are dangerous. So better to just kill it and be safe. Damn hobo spiders.

Even though it was kinda dumb that you wanted to impress your roommate that way, I can't blame you for smashing the guts out of that spider. Your roommate should've told you that he/she had a pet tarantula so this could be prevented and there'd possibly be no surprises.

I'd kill it too. Or it better be caged at all times with no way out, in my room mate's room. Gross.

FYL for living with this guy. If I were in your place, I'd reconsider his "cuteness" - I love animals, but a pet spider is an instant, irredeemable deal breaker. Even a (non-venomous) snake is at least a hundred times better than a tarantula. Gross.

Your roommate deserved it for not warning you. The tarantula, however, did not. :(
