Kill it.

I was chilling in the basement and in the corner of my eye I saw a huge spider near the baseboard. But I was in the middle of something and continued.

Then I remembered the Spider.

But.
It.
Was.
Gone.

 

[Raptor]

She knows you saw her, shes planning to kill you as we speak.

 

[QisTopTier]

Why would you kill natural pest control, don't be such a wuss.


Here you go OP

 

[ItIsOkBro]

What did the spider do to you

 

[Tidalwave]

Was it ever even really there? Are you ok?

 

[_Nemo]

Rest in spiders.

 

[Johndoey]

Rest in spiders.

Unless they rest in OP first. Spider eyes are watching you. They see your every move.

 

[Capitan]

you'll probably survive unless you live in australia

 

[old manatee]

I catch it in a glass and let it go outside.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Spiders are the best pets

 

[robotrock]

I Nope The Fuck Out Of There!

Okay, I'm all for catching and releasing alive. I do it all the time. But where are these milquetoast spiders they're grabbing? I'm used to insects that are fast as hell. And cockroaches standing still? You're crazy, I've dove head first trying to catch those bastards.

 

[Clefargle]

I saw one right before going to bed a few nights back

I was scared at first, then just ignored it and went to sleep...

Wonder where it is n-

 

[HStallion]

For a bunch of dudes with 12 inch cocks you sure let some small things scare you.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Pet it

 

[chrisPjelly]

Female spiders are fairly prolific at generating offspring, some creating several egg sacs with dozens of eggs in each. Most web-building spiders favor this strategy, knowing that only a few of their offspring will survive to adulthood. Some egg sacs, such as those of Argiope, can have up to 1,500 eggs each.

 

[statham]

sleep tight. plug your ears and nose.

 

[digitalrelic]

Meh, unless it's really nasty, I just let a spider here and there chill in my home. They take care of other pests anyway.

 

[Wag]

sleep tight. plug your ears and nose.

 

[Hastati]

People always talk about how spiders are good for your household and for pest control and whatnot and then they forget the football sized black and blue welt they leave on my family's legs during the spring and summer

pretty convenient for them to forget that tidbit huh

HUH

 

[Pantsuit Apologist]

I'll admit to doing all of the above.

Sure blame the spider.

The spiders are after our cocks.

 

[IronRaven]

I typically resort to using sprays if I can't reach them.

 

[PK Gaming]

Nope, I don't see any spider

 

[HStallion]

Just imagine the spider version of a Candiru. Your welcome for the nightmares.

It makes you an easier target for spiders.

 

[SliceSabre]

I kill them because I think of it this way: I don't seek out to kill them typically. I know spiders are in my apartment. Me killing that spider is me helping the gene pool because that spider wasn't smart enough to stay out of my sight. The smart ones stay out of sight and survive and have babies that stay out of sight.

 

[Princess Viola]

Why is everyone on GAF such wimps when it comes to spiders?

Spiders are friends, they eat cockroaches and stuff.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I just move them into the kitchen

Way too many staredowns with spiders while taking a crap, like come on dude I don't watch you while you poop

 

[vikki]

This could be the start to a great song

I trap it in a mug and take outside asap.
I've had one spider repeatedly evade me. Then at night I heard the fluorescent lamp 35cm above my head make an odd noise.

Took no risk and flung myself up from bed. Sure enough it was now on my pillow.

Also friend of mine in Japan went to stay in a country side that was, apparently, full of THESE:

 

[Aquavelvaman]

I always just get them to walk on a piece of paper and then put them outside. Spiders eat mosquitos, which is the real enemy.

 

[bbd23]

I saw a spider kill a centipede in my basement and decided that I would never kill another spider ever again.

 

[2Smashed4U]

It makes you an easier target for spiders.

This, they have a natural predilection for hunting cockmeat.

 

[outunderthestars]

Countdown until Toxi arrives............

[HawksWinStanley]

My worst spider encounter...

I was doing chest flies on a flat bench in my basement. I had the dumbbells out to my sides and noticed a spider walking on the ceiling above me. I raised the weights, and then when I lowered them back to my sides the spider was gone. It seemed a little weird because there's no way it could've gotten out of my view that fast. But I raised the weights again and saw it crawling on the dumbbell two feet from my face.

I screamed like a girl that day.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I used to kill spiders on sight. These days, we (okay, I since no one else will go near spiders) capture and release, particularly since we got a pet tarantula (she molted two days ago, woo!). My younger daughter has been wonderful at helping me empathize with other critters and just move them if needed.

Much of the time, if they are out of the way, I just let them be.

[Doop]

Please don't kill spiders . They just want to hang out in a warm place and eat bugs. They even don't do anything to you if you leave them be. Just let them outside if they really bother you.

 

[HelloMeow]

Please don't hurt spiders.

 

[Escape Goat]

I was bit by a spider once when I was a kid. Made the wound fill with pus and essentially paralyzed my leg. I ended up having to get a shot of penicillin in my butt...with my mom in the room. Oh cruel world.

These guys are freaky and indeed everywhere! The countryside is full of huge bugs though.

I remember walking back at sunset once and feeling this itchy warmth envelop my right arm, I looked down and my forearm was encased like a mummy in silky threads and about a hundred dead bugs, and one of these guys was crawling up my camera bag and about 2 inches from my hand. I think they're poisonous too, but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I live and let live unless they are big or in a place I find "inconvenient." If they're otherwise just chilling and keeping other pests at bay, then they're cool with me.

I kill them because I think of it this way: I don't seek out to kill them typically. I know spiders are in my apartment. Me killing that spider is me helping the gene pool because that spider wasn't smart enough to stay out of my sight. The smart ones stay out of sight and survive and have babies that stay out of sight.

I will, however, respect this argument.

 

[Imperfected]

I fight spiders, but only hand to hand, no weapons. I respect their technique.

 

[Drain You]

Today was an unusual day as far as spiders go. I saw one dangling from a web inside my house and I just got a piece of paper and placed it outside. Later in the day I saw one of those fast as fuck jumping spiders inside, grabbed a tissue paper and smashed that fucker as fast as I could. I didn't really wanna kill it but those fuckers are so fast.
