Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a black widow, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML

Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML

Today, I tried to have a relaxing soak in the tub. The giant wolf spider that was already in the tub didn't like me trying to set it free outside. It ran right across my feet and back into my house when I dumped it out of a cup outside. I screamed like a little girl. FML

Today, I saw a huge wolf spider in my room. It ran off and hid before I could kill it, but after two hours looking for it then giving up, I finally found it, with my foot, as I put on my shoes. FML

Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as I'm taking off my undies, something crushed and black fell out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML

Today, we found a tarantula type spider in our shed so big it could only have been someone’s escaped pet. This thing was so big, even my husband said, "NOPE!" In the end, we used our neighbour's crossbow to kill, it because I think it grew that big by eating dogs and small horses. FML

Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML

Today, I found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML

A job well done.

Today, I asked my husband to deal with the very large spider in our kitchen. Rather than a newspaper or a slipper, he went after it with an aerosol can and a lighter. The spider is now dead, but so are the wall and cupboards in my kitchen. FML

Monster in my bathroom

By Thescarlettfox - 16/02/2020 01:00

Today, I saw a big, black spider on the floor of my bathroom. I promptly jumped up on the toilet seat, slipped off, and slammed my head against the wall. The best part? It was a tuft of my hair. FML

Wow. This is why you run water when the spider is in the bathtub. Poor dog.

You dragged your dog to its death. How disgusting. I'm a black widow bite survivor and I can't believe you let your dog die in that kind of discomfort. NEVER breed!

There are numerous ways for a person to dispose of a spider without risking a bite, like smacking it with a shoe or spraying it with poison (even Windex will do, FYI). There is no way for a dog to kill a spider without risking a bite, since it has to use its own body. ///Even if you couldn't tell what type of spider it was///, it was grossly irresponsible of you to send your dog to confront a potentially poisonous and lethal creature. It was straight up /ignorant/ not to know that yes, venomous spiders exist almost everywhere. I'd recommend not acquiring another pet, and you should probably not look after children if you don't know these basic safety measures.

You could have ran water, used a magazine, a shoe, anything but you decided to be a heartless moron. You should never be allowed to own a dog again, or have kids for that matter. IDIOT!

Why the hell would you use a living thing to kill a spider? I mean, black widows have their own mark so it's your fault. You should have paid more attention. FAIL. And srsly #199! Lets use the kids to kill the spiders! - S.

That's TERRIBLE. Why would you get your dog to kill a spider? Just drown it or take a bath somewhere else...or until it dies somehow. Get bugspray or smash it with something hard. :/

Did it never occur to you to just turn on the faucet or just splash a cup of water on the spider to wash it down?

I have to say I think that most of you are being a little too overcritical about this. The poster wasn't getting their god to do "the dirty work." Obviously, dogs are natural hunters and anyone who has a dog knows that. The poster probably just thought that the dog would enjoy killing a Spider. The dog probably did enjoy killing the Spider. Try to be a bit more sympathetic.
