You ever watch the old Tom and Jerry cartoons with the old women stood on the chair hitting Jerry Mouse with her mop?
Well that is me with spiders.
80 posts in this thread & no ones said 'aggh! kill it with fire!'
You lot are slipping!
aggh Kill it with fire!
Nah what about "aggh kill it with a boot!
@Thundercat, I remember them! you are a cat i thought cats like chasing and eating spiders?

I am now imagining your avatar stood in a corner with a mop hitting a spider.
This is why they invented the nuke

That spider made of spiders gif causes me deep psychological pain...
It could really have done with a "yo dawg" and picture of xzibit though, just to lighten the mood.

Actually I'm working my way through the entire DVD boxset at the moment.
Hope the chair's not too high!
I was hugely arachnophobic until about a year ago until I did a load of research and bought a tarantula. a Red Chile Rose, nice and docile. Fascinating to watch. Have a Greenbottle Blue now too which is beautiful colours, but a touch quicker
Still edgy around the big house spiders, but my fear reaction has totally changed. Exposure to big ones with half inch fangs seems to help.

My Chile Rose RCF is a complete nutter
my NCF is nice and docile though 
Well that's me completely traumatised for the day (week, year?).
I have managed to gain some control of my fear in recent years and managed to hold a tarantula at Longleat last year but I still don't like a lot of the ones I find in the house. I was bitten by a little green bugger that fell from the kitchen ceiling and landed on my neck.
Oddly, I watch that movie ^ everytime it is on.

I had medium/large sized spider descend on me when I opened my loft hatch the other week. My girlfriends reactions was "Get it out!!!", I laughed at her.
I don't hate spiders, but do tend to be a little bit cautious with them, been bitten a few times (nothing venomous) and it stings!
One of my mates went out to Oz too teach and was met with a nasty spider in the classroom, he crapped his pants and a pupil just casually walked up and stepped on it.

As long as it's not a brown recluse i'm sure you'll be fine.

Jumping spiders are cool
actually I think that photo has been doctored somewhat, I've found the original and linked back to his Flickr pages - brilliant Macro photographer...
