I was with my buddy in his barn/garage last night working on his civic, and went to the back to get a tool and seen this little guy chilling on the wall:



That is a box for an electrical outlet it's beside. I've never seen one so big in person before. (besides in a pet store) I assumed it was a wolf spider.

[PantherRacer]

Awesome. I have no problem with spiders unless they bite, or crawl on me without my permission. Which I rarely give.
Spiders > Mosquitoes. I effin hate mosquitoes. if only spiders were designed specifically to eat them and other insects that particularly annoy me... hmmmmmmmmmm

Spider thread! That thing is huge man. Did you kill it? I hate spiders, but they amaze me...... Me and my friend ran into this little guy in the parking lot:



Apparently its endangered, and NOT poisonous to humans.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Holy f*** it's fangs are bigger than it's head...

My old house had a lot of those. I woke up once with one resting seven legs on my thigh, one on my junk. TMS 3:16 he got F-ed up!

Then I freaked out.

I would have freaked the hell out and screamed like a little girl.

Red-legged purseweb spider. They seldom come out other than to mate, so this dude was out making babies.....

[Mr1der]

eh...spiders don't bug me.

I'm not a fan of walking through webs and peeling it off my face.

makes me sneeze and stuff usually.

[IanS]

Dude, that thing is freakin sweet.

I find spiders in the shop at work all the time. My boss is an arachnophobe, so I usually play show and tell. Yes I know I'm a d!ck.

[MellowZ32]

spiders?

[alms24sebring]

spiders are freakin sweet as long as I know where they are. There was 1 as big as the OPs spider but black and I saw it crawl across my living room floor... twice. I about crapped myself. I couldnt kill it bc I was scared it was ganna be fast and/or turn into Michael Myers and kill me brutally.. It lives on..

[krimsonviper]

I came into this spider expecting this.

With that, I say, "kill spiders with the utmost prejudice that you think it will kill your family, friends of the family, and people you don't know, but will enjoy knowing once you meet them. Kill spiders with fire."

Thank you.

[EvillE423]

I didn't kill it. My buddy is so afraid of spiders, so when he seen this things, he freaked. I tried to get him to take some carb cleaner and light it on fire and kill it but he wouldn't. Some people showed up a little later and killed it. Spiders don't usually bother me unless they get on me. My sister is the biggest arachnophobe I've ever seen and I sent this pic to her. Needless to say, she got pissed at me. haha

[krimsonviper]

Spiders scare me as well, but I return the favor by smearing them or shooting various toxic liquids in their direction. I don't mess with fire that much.

Spiders scare the living bejeebus outta me but i'm fascinated by them. I'd like to thank a horrible child hood experience for this. So i was like 5 years and living in florida at the time. Not even a couple hours after catching a few scenes of the movie Arachnophobia before my parents shooed me away, i had to use the bathroom. So i'm sitting there being a 5 year old with ADD and start looking around. I end up seeing what was the biggest (to my personal knowledge/experience) banana spider chillin between the toilet and the wall next to me right at rim height. We made eye contact i'm pretty sure and both did a cartoon style double take and both freak out. I scream and fall into the toilet and get stuck. The spider jumps off the wall and hits me and falls to the floor and scurries away. By this time my mom busts the door open to only catch the part of me screaming/crying and stuck in a toilet. Instead of helping me, she laughs goes and grabs a camera and takes a picture of me...
She supposedly has no idea where this photo is, but i got that weird gut feeling it's showing up at my wedding reception. I wish i had th emental capacity/power to make a spider eat itself after grabbing tissue paper and wrapping itself up in it in a trash can.

I'm not fond of spiders and I don't like being surprised. I was enjoying an issue of SCC in the bathroom years ago and one like the OP's spider dropped out of the curtain of the window over my head and landed on my junk. I panicked and had to have my wife come in and kill it for me. I didn't poop in my own house for over a week after that one.

[infinitgkid]

If you think the OP's spider was big, someone should post a picture up of a camel spider...

They're not as big as the myth would have you believe, or as dangerous.

I saw a few while deployed to the Middle East and all of the ones I saw were relatively normal sized (for a "big spider").

Is that how you convinced her to give a good ol' handy J?

Thinking faster than I'm typing FTL!

How have you been man? I haven't seen you in awhile.

[sbird1]

The first time I went to the Okefenokee Swamp, there was a spider in a web that spanned the waterway we were canoeing down. The web was probably 15-20 feet wide and in the middle of the web right over our heads, was the biggest spider I've ever seen. I was scared to death that it was going to drop down on us or something. I HATE spiders.

This is why you always carry a gun while camping.
