If an insect or spider is dead and not moving I'll inspect it but if it’s alive I'll run, or casually walk into the next room. Most of the time I don't want to kill them with a shoe or anything for that matter because I don't want to have anything to do with them. I find them intriguing you might say but I like to keep my distance, odd yes.

The other night when I was using the computer a spider (A typical biggish thing with long legs) crawled up the wall behind the computer. I casually walked into the kitchen as I do and found the fly spray. I calmly walked back and drenched the poor thing as much as I could. The spider then fell down onto the floor around the power plugs and the back of the computer, I didn't really want to spray in that direction so I tried to forget about it.

10-15 minutes later this beast slid from the ceiling onto the monitor, and gave me one heck of a fright. I didn't want to spray the monitor with fly spray for obvious reasons and resolved to wait him out. He crawled down underneath the keyboard. I didn't have the guts to lift the keyboard so I just sat there and decided I was bored and if I should go to bed, it was like 2am. Five minutes go past and he crawls out onto the side of the table, I grab the spray and soak the thing, it scrambles back onto the table whilst its legs were having spasms. It stopped moving.

Now I had a dead spider on the table, yummy. So I got the spray and tried to spray it onto the floor :lol:, but nope it didn't work. So I got a paper towel cleaned up the over spray and flicked the spider somewhere.

So now I'm as happy as Larry.

Heh, I don't particularily like crawly things.

I guess it's hypocritical for me to laugh at those anecdotes. I've had some similar run-ins in the past with a couple of bugs and I sure as hell didn't find them humorous. I hate it when they go under the keyboard.
I concur on the "not wanting to have anything to do with them" part. I like bugs, on the Discovery or Animal Planet channels that is.
 
My girlfriend scared the absolute living s**t out of me with a plastic cockroach. She put it on top of my computer tower under my desk and forgot about it. Weeks later, I was doing a bit of tinkering round the back of my PC (as us chaps do), when I was suddenly aware of a two inch 'roach by my right cheek (facial cheek). Now, I love animals, but cockroaches, three inches from my face? Er, no. I went mad. I was jumping round the living room shouting 'Is it real? Is it real?', and swearing like a trooper. All the while my girlfriend was hiding in behind the door giggling and recording my antics with a movie camera. Bless her!

EDIT: Alpha, you know that spider will be laughing in his webby grave when all those chemicals in that spray you inhaled take effect in thirty years time!

They also like to climb up your very beds. Better tuck in tight! :D

I'm not too disgusted of spiders, I'd probably refrain from having one on me, otherwise they're pretty cool.
Roaches I cannot stand whatsoever though.







i HATE roaches.
uughh....:nervous: :scared:

Thirty years! I better use what time I have left all the more. Thanks for the heads up ;)

chaser_fan, that centipede is just scary. I mean, what if that thing ran up and ate your face?! [/B]

Or, what if it crawled up your leg and made a home somewhere warm? :scared:

Oh and BTW - yes, this is my second Spidey thread, it's just that I thought this "little" fellow was a tiny bit larger than the other one. ;)
 
One time, I was in a room full of bugs (just like the scene in Indiana Jones : Temple of doom)

I built a campfire and ate dinner. Bugs, YUM!
 
These are nice...

I had a quick look over this thread before i went to bed......now i'm back the computer. I hate spiders and reading this before going to bed has given me the willies. Looks like it's no sleep for me tonight.

When I was about 8 i woke up with a huge spider on my neck. Needless to say i've never really recovered.


Thanks for the no sleep guys ;)

(I should have seen the title and stayed away)
 
I found the fact that there was a ford mondeo fan club much more scary.
:scared:

No, you are safe from those things. But here in Vegas, There are black widows!! :mischievous: .. They hide in your shoes that you leave outside. And one more thing, they can kill a human with their venom..
Oh yeah, those things.... We occasionally find those in with our grapes we buy. You have to be careful what you eat.... :dopey:
