Sheit, I thought he was cute.

Spiders scare me too, but only when IRL. In pictures they're kinda cute.
I have no idea how any person can find a wolf spider "cute". Cute is not a term that can be applied to something that can only be killed by napalm.

Well, like I said,
kinda cute. They're still loathsome and scary.
But I think the fuzzy plumpness and beady eyes make them like 8-legged kittens. Maybe. I don't know, I'm torn. :x

KEWT!
Those glassy little eyes, those fuzzy little leggerz
Puffed up little abdomen that you wish had a squeaker in it so it'd squeak when you
squeeze it but instead yellow stuff just comes out.
FUCKING CUTE!

napalm? what do you mean, if you step on them they regenerate?
anyway, "Wolf spiders will inject venom freely if continually provoked. Symptoms of their venomous bite include swelling, mild pain and itching. Though usually considered harmless to humans, the bite of some species may be painful." -- in other words CUTE AS A FUCKING KITTEN (as in, kittens have claws and if you continually provoke them, it will hurt, a littlebit).
we only have tiny non poisonous spiders over here, though :( and they aren't all fluffy and shit either.
I'll be completely honest, spiders can freak me out sometimes. They're not that bad though.
Bees, wasps, ants though? Those fuckers freak me the hell out.
Hush, my darlings. We can see you are upset, and that's ok. But you know too much stress is bad for you. Our doctors said so, just the other day.

Just sit right there, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. That's right. Let us help you. We know how upsetting life can be, and we're here to help. We can get you through your day with a minimum of fuss. Just leave it to us.
Can we get you a drink? Sure, you just stay there, and we'll be right back. Feel free to watch the TV if you'd like. We always keep it on, for background ambience if you will. Yes, that's one of our favorites, too. Here we are. No, don't get up. Just sit there, take your shoes off, and forget about the troubles of your day.
We know, life can be so unfair. Let us help you forget all that. We can show you fabulous things, right in your own home; brightly colored, flashy things, you take your mind off of your difficult and painful day. We don't want you to hurt anymore. Not now. Now is you time, time to loosen that tie, maybe even unbutton your pants, perhaps even-- well, we promise to look away if The Girls Next Door becomes too exciting.
See, don't you feel better already? It's as if the day never happened at all. And with our help, you can experience the best, most glamorous parts of life without ever leaving your comfortable, soft couch. Shhh. Relax, my darlings. Let the empty glass slip from your fingers. Let us tuck you in...
WAKE UP. BACK TO WORK. YOU WILL BE LATE.

This. I find spiders incredibly fascinating and pictures to be interesting and/or cute. But get one near me IRL and I will go berserk. Just keep them away from my general area and I'm fine with them.

Meh, by the time we started posting MORE spider pics they already had been suckered by Slanket, so it seemed a safe bet that they aren't actively checking back to see if there are ANY MORE SPIDER PICTURES. :)
By the way, the doctor instructed me to watch the monumental spider bite on the back of my arm for "signs of necrosis or secondary infection" and said I feel like crap because my body is mobilizing its natural defenses to fight off venom.
I done got poisoned by a spider. :(
the brother of a guy i work with got bit on the back of his neck by a brown recluse. he had a big ol' hole in the back of his neck for awhile. it took weeks of medical attention to heal.
It's probably not a Brown Recluse bite (they vary tremendously because of different amounts of venom and different individual reactions to the venom) because it's not really painful, just itchy. I would kind of prefer a Brown Recluse bite, in general, to a Hobo spider bite. Both are nasty but Hobos tend to be worse. Luckily, it's probably not a Hobo bite either, but there's hardly any way to know until/unless it goes necrotic on me.

Yo that shit looks itchy!
I used to get bit on the feet a lot when I had those little black and red or black and brown
spiders living under my cabinet in the bathroom. (there were two).
They itched and itched.

Well my toes would be under the cabinet, in "their space", so they would sneak down and bite my feet then sneak back up to where they were.
They weren't poisonous, just assholes.
Sure would itch and I'd curse. But when I'd look down there to smash em they'd be staring at me... with those eyes...
those "we're just doing what spiders do" eyes.
Sigh. Herman and Mildred.

here is a dutch biting poisonous
underwater spider.
I like it when nature is weird.
I am rather arachnaphobic.
Methods to deal with spiders:
Freeze them to death with an upside-down air duster can.
Effective, but sometimes blows them around too much. Generally safe.
Burn them with an oxyacetylene torch.
Less blowing around than the freezing method, but can't be used near anything you don't want to annihilate. Dangerous.
Pop them with a HERF gun.
Dangerous. Even if it's non-ionizing you can still cook yourself nicely. Also harder to get and rather more illegal in most places. On the plus side, they pop as their insides boil.
Boiling water.
Good for spiders in places you can get wet.
Yeah, but aren't you in Australia? Its not exactly an irrational fear....

what is a HERF gun?
also, i don't really have a problem with spiders, but i HATE wasps. i like to catch them and put them under an upside down drinking glass. if i'm lucky i can catch one or two more before the first one dies. then i put them all under the same glass and watch them fight.
i'm assuming similar tactics could be used with spiders.

This has always been an effective way of getting rid of spiders for me. Not that I necessarily want to give them a chemical bath but it's the best way I can deal with it if no-one's around/willing to deal with it for me. I DID let the awful-looking spider (mostly cuz it was big and had really long legs - not a daddy long-legs) sitting on/next-to the toilet bowl be a day or two until my boyfriend got around to getting rid of it. It still died, but not a horrible chemical death at least. Sometimes he'll just try to let them out of the house, which is fine by me as long as they're not anywhere near me.
Yeah, I'm not really out to kill them.
I honestly don't care if they're there.
Oh no, wasn't implying that you were. Merely commenting on Fred's tactics.

FRED, HOW COULD YOU POST SUCH A THING??

Yeah, when my kids tell me there's a spider in the house I tell them to leave it alone. It's just going to go hide somewhere, it's not like it's going to jump out and attack them.
But it will coax them into turning on the XBox 360, or log onto facebook, maybe see how the Kardashians are doing on th E! channel. Pretty soon, your kids will be sitting in front of a flickering screen, their eyes wide and glazed, absorbing what it really means to be happy, and if you look very closely, you'll be able to see the thin strands of silk tethering them to the couch, strands of iridescent silk smothering them into a single mindset, and they'll be happy, if they could only have the next thing that's out of reach...
