1. Was it a big spider?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. Boston doesn't have big spiders-just little house spiders

if it was a brown recluse, i would have shot it. :scared:

[d_b]

2. No.

I hate spiders :scared:

[Skittles]

3. I scoop them up and put 'em outside

my beef is not that they exist but that they live in my apartment

[Jara sang]

10. I hear that. Killing spiders is bad for your karma. I don't kill anything.

4. That's odd, I just squashed a spider too.

And I can't remember the last time (before just now), so it doesn't happen very often.

Are we being attacked by suicide-spiders?

[LiberalEsto]

5. You have offended the Goddess Hecate

and risked Her wrath

[BlondieK143]

6. Yes!

You should've sucked him up with the vacuum cleaner like we do. :P Less of a mess!

[Heidi]

7. Was it an accident, or did you squash it intentionally? (nt)

[4dsc]

8. yes,

spiders are our friends.. I let all the spiders I run across go free!!

[chickenscratching]

11. yes, many

bad spider karma, watch your back

[AllegroRondo]

12. Great. Now its going to rain.

[Shell Beau]

13. Well I usually try to move them, unless I fear they are

poisonous, in that case, I usually get the hell out of there. I don't have a problem with squashing them, though.

[shockra]

14. Uh oh.

Your house will now be overtaken by flies!

That's how the spider karma will get ya. ;)

[Redstone]

15. Why, you monster! Don't you know spiders have RIGHTS?

16. Sicilian superstition: Kill a spider=it will rain.

Go figure...

[richmwill]

17. You horrible human being!

I am in tears here... I can barely type. Complete sobs over how you could kill a beautiful insect. I hope you can live with yourself!(/sarcasm)

[uppityperson]

18. How dare you squash a spider!!!!

Spiders are people too. How would you like a spider to squash you? Spiders are more humane and loving and tolerant than people are. I don't have kids, my spiders are like my kids. Spiders fulfill a place here on earth better than rant rant rant on. :sarcasm:

I squashed a HUGE one in my bathroom a couple days ago. It wouldn't fold my towels right, just hung out in the corner. darn spiders.

[Arugula Latte]

19. You know, I am the biggest animal lover around, but

I friggin' HATE spiders. Hate hate hate them! They make my skin crawl like nothing else (besides fundie Repubs).

Here in the Northwest August/Sept. is a beautiful time of year but wherever you go outside there are goddamn spider webs everywhere and you are constantly walking through them. AAAAAARRRRGH! Just thinking about it has given me the heebie jeebies.

[TimeChaser]

20. I don't mind spiders

as long as they don't bother me. If I see them on the wall or ceiling, I ignore them mostly. Get into my bed, my clothes or my things and they either get put outside or squished, depending on the weather and if they freaked me out or not.

Centipedes, on the other hand, will be killed with no remorse. *Shivers*

[Deep13]

21. Yeah, expect rain.

old superstition

[Deep13]

22. Kill a spider, go to jail. That's the law.

:)

[redqueen]

23. Eh...

I don't like to squish them... I like them a lot.

However, if they're scary looking and in my house, I will certainly not hesitate to squish them.

Recently I drove home with one in my car. It sat right above eye level between my door and the windsheild... kinda freaked me out. That one I didn't squish. The big one I found in the bathtub this week... that one I squished.
