Spiders, Spiders, Spiders

So Plinky wants to test my fear of spiders today. What would I do if I found one in my bedroom?



I am just throwing it out there but I am thankfully not afraid of spiders. Well not in and of themselves like so many people seem to be. I don't have an issue with spiders, snakes, bees, jellyfish etc... Ok I do have a bit of a thing about jellyfish... But it isn't the animals that scare me - I do however have an intense fear of pain though. And therefore the thought of being bitten/stung by any such creatures is not high on my things I do for fun list.

Spider Caught in the Flash

So my reaction to having a big spider in my room? Well if I am aware of anything other than a daddy long legs in my room I would much prefer to get rid of it... I am however perfectly capable of getting rid of it myself... Be that standing on it or catching it with paper and taking it outside... Catching it is of course my first option...



Oh and if it is a spider on the scale of 'it would easier to herd it out than pick it up' well I stop liking spiders at that point... If it is more than 2 inches it is about to become somebody else's problem... I take this to be one of the benefits of being female - somebody else will do it, and it is perfectly acceptable to freak out and expect them to. :P



But anyway I prefer spiders where they belong - out in the garden and not in my bed.
