My spider pets

[Radbird]

So you moved from a firm that had spider buddies to one that features vultures and you're happy about that??

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

This is a fun bump. It brought back a lot of memories about life at my last firm, and how much I hated it so much that I went fairly well insane.

I'm not crazy, I promise.

I'm glad you have accepted that you were, in fact, crazy. Isn't that like the first stage on the road to recovery?

The first stage was getting the hell away from that place and the psycho I was working for. Now, my vulture friends and I live in a happy coexistence.

Ahhhhh spiders. The creepiest little boogers there are. Those guys aren't cool. I remember one time exercising in my aunt's basement and I looked up and saw a big brown spider looking at me. He started to crawl towards me so I ran up the stairs and had my aunt kill it. I am deathly afraid of spiders.

One time I had this terrible nightmare that there was a tarantula in my bed. When I woke up, I jumped out of my bed and refused to go back into it, convinced a tarantula was actually lurking in my sheets; to make matters worse, I had slapped my arm during this nightmare, which left a red mark... I was totally delusional and mistaken, and assumed it was remnants of a spider bite.

Anyway, I walked out to the living room, trembling with fear... my mom was in there on the computer. I started telling her about how there was a spider on the prowl, hiding in my bed. As she was trying to convince me that it was all in my head, I caught something out of the corner of my eye: I turned around, and there was an actual spider dangling from the ceiling by a string of silk, literally inches away from my shoulder. Any hope of her assuaging my fears was totally eliminated. I remember opting to lay on the couch paralyzed with fear. That was a long day of work, I was totally exhausted.

So, not only did I have this ultra-convincing nightmare... but, by pure chance, I also happened to stand inches away from one dangling from the ceiling after I work up and was in a state of complete and utter fear.

The pathetic thing is, I was like 15 or 16 at the time. I've since become much more tolerant to spiders, but growing up I was absolutely terrified of them.

I won't even open that picture.

I love spiders. I think they're absolutely fascinating, between the awesome ornate patterns on their bodies to the fact that they can build a home (and feed themselves) using only their ass.

But I'm also 100% positive I'd crap all over myself if I ever encountered a spider the size of a human face.

[IndyCards13]

They have to be the creepiest animals ever. Some are big enough to eat us whole.

I feel like spiders and I have patched things over through the years. We definitely did not like each other at one time, but we have worked through some issues.
