Just got one, it was a big fucker and fast with it.
No match for a flip-flop though!

I don't mind them, which is lucky because we get a lot of exotic buggars at work, in the fruit and what not. I think if you had arachnophobia, your head would spin at the amount of spiders that come into the country in a banana box. Those regular Daily Mail articles make me laugh*, about how somebody took some bananas home, that turned out to have a spider egg pouch on them, so they put them in the bin and then set the house on fire, so Tesco are buying them a new house as compensation. I handle bananas with egg pouches on them every day, if I can be arsed, I scrape them off with other bananas - normally just pop them on as they are though. Our trophy catch was something that looked like a cross between a tarantula and your typical British house spider, and was bigger than my hand. We managed to keep it in the box and seal it up, popped it in the freezer and the boss made us call out some expert. He said it was a Hunstman spider, not particularly dangerous but fucking hell, you wouldn't want those running around your house. It looked pretty shit when it had been in the freezer, all shrivelled up, this is what they look like normally:  Its reactions were lightning fast n'all, which is the only thing that shits me up about them. * {Spoiler} SpoilerClick to view/hide
I'm sure it's the same woman every time, she always looks like this.

I used to have 2 pet tarantulas, Stimpy and Chisel. Sadly no longer with us. Thank you for bringing back such painful memories of their passing :-(

People who keep them as "pets" need there heads checked. Pointless unless you like to watch them not move for days or poke them with sticks to wind them up for banter I guess. Tortoises.....now they're fun pets. Tarantulas are quite interesting pets. Well, sort of. |

They're all over houses in Sydney. The nastiest thing about the fuckers is the noise they make when they run over certain surfaces. And you're right about the speed of them. You'd struggle to catch one of them on a good day. Horrible bastards they are. |

I hate them and shit scared of them. Was making some juice other day in kitchen and this big fuck off spider run across the kitchen. I squeeled like a girl and my mrs (who is a foot smaller than me) came in and dealt with it. Even she said it was a big spider so must have been.

I hate earwigs. Fucking horrible things that make my skin crawl. And they stink. Try picking one up, then smell your fingers afterwards. Jonesy probably won't notice since he doesn't wash his hands after pooing  but they leave a nasty whiff behind them. |

Not particularly fond of them but I just let them get on with it. Snakes are cunts though. Slithery bastards.
