Spider on the Face

Once when I was an air cadet, on a parade (or drill practice actually), I was getting the "is that web I feel" and "what's that tingling". Quickly became apparent I had a spider on my face.

Apart from other people constantly trying to subtly point out that I had a spider on my face, I had no issues with it being there until we were dismissed and I could kill it.
 
At least it didn't bed in to your ear. ;)

I don't find spiders scary exactly, but I don't like them and when I see them I panic. The reason for this is because they are so damn fast, so if I don't "get" them then they can elude me and rear their ugly heads usually where/when I least expect them.

I've found house spiders in my bed before, those are the biggest panics, I'd hate one on my face! A spider managed to escape my grasp once then proceed to crawl under (well in) my laptop keyboard, I never saw it again, it's probably squished.
 
Just the name of this thread made me shiver. I reckon if it did happen id instantly think squish it and end up punching myself in the face :(
 
I had a horrible experience like the OP.

I was sleeping and i kept feeling as though my neck was being tickled so i casually scratched, then it felt like my face was being tickled so i casually scratched, then it felt like my eyes was being tickled, i opened my eyes and lo and behold there is a giant bird eating spider squatting on my eyebrow.

Well no it wasnt a giant bird eating spider, but at about 6 in the morning and with it being right on my eye it looked bigger than Beth Ditto's belly.

I will admit that i screamed and that i jumped out of bed like a little girl brushing my face until i saw it fly off, then i battered it to a pulp with a shoe that was in the room.

I felt unclean and violated, it truely was a crying game moment, i jumped in the shower and scrubbed till i was raw to rid myself of its eggs (which it had obviously layed on me as i was its chosen host for its babies):eek:

Horrible terrible experience, i still feel sick when i think about it now.

My thoughts go out to you and your loved ones OP :)
 
Did you need to put in the bit about chatting to a female companion so we'd think you were still a heterosexual alpha male even after admitting to being scared of a spider? :p

I can't say that spiders bother me much although I've got a certain amount of respect for the ones big and deadly enough to damage me but I'd argue that is only sensible. On Sunday night however I think I was stung by a wasp on my heel as I was sleeping, couldn't see anything at the time but felt a sharp pain in my achilles tendon - nothing to do apart from try and go back to sleep after that, when I got home later that day I discovered the wasp stone dead in my bed, I think I must have rolled over and crushed the poor sod.
 
If that happened to me I would be scarred, I'm scared ****less of spiders at the moment but an experience like that would kick it into overdrive.

I have my window open all day/night as my air conditioning units pipe has to go out of it, I just hope I don't get any spiders coming in. :|
 
I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight now!

I hate spiders more then anything - i would rather have a Anaconda in my room then a small spider.
 
Dont like spiders at all, and have found some huuuuuuuuuuuge ones in the garage since moving down to the south west, but worse still, we are in the process of emigrating to Australia .......

The worst thing is these things get into your car and like to hide behind the bloody sun visor!!!
 
Back when I used to play WoW and would quite happily sit stock still for hours on end with only my fingers moving and my internal organs slowly turning to sludge, I once felt an odd feeling on my head.

Safe to say I went slightly hystericle slapped my head a few times, said 8 legged monstrosity flew off into a corner where I proceded to smash it with a near by umbrella till it looked like it had swallowed a small hand grenade.

I then brushed my hair for about 3 hours because I was terrified I had a nest of them in my hair.
 
Woke up once, looked in the mirror near my bed - had a huge spider on my face.

"wut"

Grabbed it, opened the window and let it go.

You girl.

Alas.

Whilst lying on a bed on the phone, sharing what I would deem most manly of rugged of banter to my female companion, I felt a tingling on my neck which slowly moved to my face. At this point, I had realised that I was not in fact on earth, but had been somehow transported to hell, at the cruel mercy of the vile Beelzebub. I let out a most mighty roar (a girlish scream) and saw what appeared to be a blurring fast object making its way under my bedsheets.

I then requested my friend came and removed the offending object. As he did so, it wriggled across the sheets prompting an even manlier roar. The result being that said item was (apparently) removed and said friend was forced to check the room many, many times.

Yes, I have had a house spider, on my face. I feel raped. To get across my terror, I quote that it was "not small" from the intervening third party. And I sit in the same bed... waiting for it for its second vicious attack.

So, has anyone else had a spider on the face, and, more importantly, how long do I have left to live?
