Today, in the spirit of Christmas, I let a spider live in my room. I normally kill them, because I'm scared of waking up with one on my face. I woke up with it on my face. FML

Same thing different taste

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

Today, I got to experience the unadulterated horror of waking up to a spider crawling across my face. My screaming woke the neighbors. FML

Juicy breakfast

Today, I woke up to a spider crawling across my face. I was so shocked that my new house had spiders, I jumped up out of bed, only to slip on the floor and land face down onto the bed. Wouldn't you know it, right where the spider was at that point. I can still taste the juice I squished out of it. FML

Leave spiders to chill

Today, I saw a spider in my room. I got a piece of paper to try and put it outside. As I reached, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to smack where the spider was - my face. I fell on the floor disoriented. The spider got away. FML

Adapt, improvise, overcome

Today, I saw a spider in my kitchen. Freaked, but trying to be humane, I held out a piece of paper so it would climb on, and I would then put it outside. However, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to whack at where the spider was - my face. I stumbled around, disoriented; the spider got away. 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

Freak out

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, 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

Why wouldn't you just put it outside and not kill it, you didn't HAVE to let it live in your room.

how do you know it's the same spider? also, why kill it? You live in the UK... We don't have any dangerous spiders... you could have just caught it and released it outside like a humane individual...

Humane? Puh-leeze on this crap. Killing a spider doesn't make someone inhumane IMO. I realize it's sort of a fine line since killing a dog because you felt like it is inhumane, but it's a spider. People kill them all the time. Arachnophobia is so common it's "normal".

Not true. Here in the UK there are 12 known species of venomous and dangerous spiders, 2 of those species closely related to the black widow. OP you're a brave soul letting it live in your house, I kill every bug in my room whether it be moth, flew, spider if anything else

Is a flew a UK bug? We don't have flews in the US...

I think a flew is a fly in the UK

true, but of those 12 species none of them have a powerful enough bite to kill a human. Also there are over 700 different species of spider here in the UK, which equates to a 1 in 58 chance that any single spider you find has powerful enough venom to effect you in any way.
