Yes, they're creepy. I'm afraid of them crawling on me or biting me and being poisonous. Which is probably an over rated fear lol??  :confused1: :)

No I am not afraid of spider but like snakes I have a healthy respect for them and would not want them sleeping in the same place that I am.  Fireants are not welcome either.

I had a brown recluse spider bite about 20 years ago.  I've never been so sick in my life.  I missed work for 5 weeks and it left a huge scar as a nice reminder.  Yup....I'd say I am.   :notworthy: :notworthy:

I'm only afraid of the poisonous ones.  Some of the non-poisonous ones are kind of cute.

Yes, not afraid but I would prefer to not have them near me.  Out here in the desert there are all kinds of creepy crawlies that give me the *bleep*.

naw spiders are so little to kill and some don't do any thing to you so i think spiders are friendly.

I'm not afraid of the little ones, I'll kill them quickly but if it's too big I'll leave it alone or get someone else to kill it.

Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: bretay on May 15, 2011, 02:00:17 pm
Most definitely. I am completely terrified of them. My daughter used to over at a friends house who had a tarantula and a python. No way would I sleep in that house. Not enough money.

I'm have a completely irrational fear of spiders, but I also feel bad when I kill them... talk about conflicting emotions
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: southernhorizons on May 30, 2011, 09:09:35 am
I am deathly scared of spiders. Anything over 1/2 inch is a big one to me. I won't even go close enough to one to kill it, I have to get someone else to kill them. I could never live in a state where they have tarantulas; i would die of fright!
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?

yes I'm... I really can't stand seeing one.  :'(

Nope, I am usually the one called to come squish them if they are crawling around.

Post by: ShadeTree on June 02, 2011, 02:18:31 am
I wouldn't say that I'm afraid of them, but I don't like it when they scare me. In general, I have a dislike for them. Especially when they're indoors. I don't like 'em in the car either. As long as they stay out of my house/car and away from me, I'm fine. I enjoy watching them craft their webs though, but outdoors of course.
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: tammypete on June 02, 2011, 03:46:22 am
YES!   I don't like spiders at all!  And I especially don't like the big fast moving ones!!!!   
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: Tresbn00 on June 02, 2011, 08:18:14 am
Kind of a funny post because I just ran across, roughly, twenty different spiders as I was redoing my backyard waterfall.  I wasn't scared or grossed out when I fished two dead birds out, or flipped a very large living snake out of the basin but when I began moving the rocks it was a different story!  I actually had this little green spider on my arm which caused me to creep because we have recluse spiders out here (highly poisonous)!  I was grossed out by a few translucent spiders with red legs.  I still itch parts of my body without having anything there!

Post by: a_bourget05 on June 02, 2011, 08:41:10 am
I'm only affraid if they're huge and can jump; then they freak me out. Small ones can easily be smashed but the big hairy ones that jump I stay far away from :S

I'm afraid of many bugs (especially cockroaches) but not spiders. And luckily there is no cockroach here in Colorado but there is lots of spiders.

Deathly afraid... I'm not afraid of them biting me or anything I just think about them and it makes me wanna throw up.  :-X
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: lgemini on June 05, 2011, 06:35:28 am
I am not afraid of spiders, and I do not want them around me.   If you leave them alone they will leave you alone.
We do need to live with the spiders, because without them we would have a little more insects to deal with.

I do not like spiders at all. They give me the creeps. I do not like insects of any kind. I lived in a place that was full of spiders and it was a nightmare.

Yes I am totally afraid with the spider.

Post by: rogery on June 08, 2011, 09:25:35 am
Nah. I once caught a spider I had never seen before in my house. It had blue/green fluorescent eyes. Found out after an internet search it is the number 1 biting spider in the US. Very aggressive jumping spider. I released it outside. In retrospect I'm surprised I was able to catch it so easily since it can jump several feet. Spiders eat other bugs we don't need. I rarely kill them.

Post by: MaggieSmile on June 08, 2011, 11:01:24 am
Ugh. Not trying to be mean, but spiders are gross and weird.
And they are also really hairy
But I also heard from my friend that if you kill a spider it will rain.
Which was weird cause she killed one like the day before it rained. haha.
But yes, I am defiantly scared of them.

Post by: jserianni on June 08, 2011, 12:09:52 pm
I don't mind spiders so much, just so long as they're NOT either black widows or brown recluses. I can't afford to get bitten by one of those suckers 'cause I don't have any medical insurance. However, I would someday like to have a couple of tarantulas as pets - they're so cute!
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: ddomek65 on June 08, 2011, 12:24:04 pm
Yes, spiders freak me out. plus I am allergic to them. One of my friends wanted me to watch a movie once they forgot to tell me it was the movie called "Arachnophobia" which means fear of spiders and there would be tons of spiders in the movie. I almost jumped out of my skin everytime i saw a spider.
Title: Re: Are You Afraid of Spiders?
Post by: bschumacher on June 08, 2011, 12:26:27 pm
Only poisonous ones. I control my fear by taking sensible precautions & killing any velvet-black spider I see with a red hourglass on its tummy!!!!

I hate all kinds of bugs, They creep me out. Only thing i hate more is tornados.

Post by: CharmedPhoenix on June 10, 2011, 05:53:32 pm
I'm not really afraid of them, but the small ones creep me out more than the tarantulas.  I have a respect for all life and try to ignore them or take them outside, but if a tiny one lands/crawls on me then my reaction is to smack them or brush them off.  I hope I never meet a brown recluse, but I'm not worried about black widows, that I can see, as they leave us alone if we leave them alone.  I have had to relocate a widow once though. :peace:

I don't like them, but it's not enough to make me stand on a chair. I really hate roaches though. My boyfriend on the other hand is terrified of spiders. He'll call me from another room to kill one. It is ridiculous, but I would do the same thing with a roach.

very afraid of spiders! I got bit about 5 1/2 yrs ago, and my skin is STILL discolored where I got bit... Spiders are nasty!
