once, at work, one of those things fell out of a box i was carrying. i asked a colleague what to do while the spider glared at me from the ground with its front legs and fangs up in the air. my colleagues answer was to drop a heavy carton on top of it from a great height.

I'm really arachnophobia, it's horrible. I've found the summer is worst, the really big ones usually appear when rain is imminent. Eek. Thankfully I've not encountered any for a few weeks...
Maybe that's why Ae rarely come here? :/

Yeah, just found one myself, a huge spider that is, the night before last. I found it before it ran behind this heavy piece of furniture I'm way too lazy to bother moving. It's either a black house spider or a mouse spider, been looking at all the picture charts for my area. It's poisonous (not lethal) and it's too big to fit under the door crack. I guess we'll just have to learn to get along, like the web or Charlotte.

Last year some spider done bit me in my sleep! This happened when I was living in the land of the Hobo Spider. The whole bottom of my foot swell up into one huge blister, like gel pads, then it pop. It would fill up and with puss and ooze out, fill up with puss then ooze out. I'd peel off a big chunk of skin and it would start all over again. I'd come back from work with my foot pasted to my sock. It was real bad for about a month, then it got a little better. I still got these little blisters that always form on that foot, I'm looking at them right noW! 8oO
Hobo Spiders aint no joke.

this sneaky butthole i found outside my room today, it's chilling on the flywire screen at the moment.
as long as it stays outside it can stay..huntsman spiders just look mean in size but are fairly passive and not really poisonous. it'll just eat other spiders anyway, hopefully the nastier kinds
Interesting fact: "Courtship in huntsman spiders is surprisingly romantic when compared to other spiders. The male is rarely attacked by the female during reproduction, and the process may last many hours."

I've always had a sort of morbid fascination with spiders, but if I had to deal with large, highly-venomous ones on a regular basis, I'd probably have my fill pretty quickly. There is a actually a fair amount of venomous spiders (4 species of widow spiders, brown recluses, and banana spiders) in Florida, but I've only had a run in with them once. I'm not sure what kind of spider bit me, but my foot was purple and disgustingly swollen for about 2 weeks. I've learned to treat all spiders with respect and give them a healthy level of space.
