spider disposal

[Guy Incognito]

so up until recently if the wife shrieks when a spider appears i have always picked up and chucked it outside alive. Either with my hand or a bit of paper cos they are easier to control and didnt like killing them purely cos of the karma.

I should point out that my wife's fear is completely irrational, she is normally very unflappable and for her job is used to seeing some terrible things far worse than a little spider.

anyway since my 3 year old is now beconing worse than the wife and goes fucking mental when she sees one, its a lot easier to just crush the spiders before anyone has a chance to kick off.

i feel bad, i know its only a spider but i think i have gone back on my principles just for a quiet life when i should actually be trying a bit of character building and education.

each time you kill a spider a person will start to masturbate

Are UK spiders even venomous?

no fucking way - i think some have venom but not enough to cause any damage whatsoever. I think the daddy long legs, which isnt even a proper spider, has the most poisonous venom in the world but only a carries a millionth of what it would need to kill you.

My wife often expresses a wish to emigrate down your end and i always say she would in be in pieces every time she goes the bog. I know that doesnt happen everywhere in oz.

i think the daddy long legs spider just doesn't have the means to grt venom into you. so i still don't touch them incase on just happened to evolve and get fangs:o

i too am a pathetic mess around spiders but have had to get a grip due to my kids-two boys-being shit scared so i gotta get rid of them. wish they were braver

i think you should make your wife and daughter face the fear. strap them down, purchase a large amount of spiders and release them to crawl on them. let this go down for a half an hour or so, then untie them and they wont be scared of spiders any more. they will defiantly thank you for it bro.

If your (as in the general your) children are scared of spiders it is a learned response from the parent. Spiders aren't something which humans are scared of from an evolutionary perspective, but if a child sees their mummy bricking it in front of a spider they learn that they should be scared of them.

yeah, we've had that discussion and the wife is getting better about it, and has dealt with the odd one when i havent been there. And to be honest me daughter is at the age where she is still learning about fear and other emotions and i excpect it to pass soon

this is the worst thing for me-because i didn't want to do that,i've always had to act all tough when it comes to spiders. i have since told them i don't like big spiders but will be totally cool with getting them out for their sake. and when i'm at work and see one, then i can spaz around the room and call for help-especially as they grow motherfucking HUGE spiders in the house i work in. They're triangle shaped, like bodybuilders. steroid spiders
