At times my therory is

- ok so there is a spider, apart from the dangerous ones most of them are no reason just like a mouse or rat to go and stand on your couch which looks pretty silly to people walking by looking in :teeth1:

- people who have pets like dogs or cats or tigers or snails do not worry about those and kuddle them as often as what makes the pets think like "Hello can you please leave me alone for a while in stead of lifting me up whereas I was just in an awesome dream or sleep which you disturb to please yourself, do that in another way please?"

It depends on the spider. I like small ones because they catch nasty bugs and flies, but large bird eating ones scare me.

I'm not scared of spiders, I'm always the one who has to get rid of them.

Fish however is another story... even dead, cooked, cut fish.

i think my fear of spiders came about when i has a nightmare about 2 huge jumping spiders attacking me

[beatlebangs1964]

I have arachnophobia. I understand.

[Kaye.Lennon]

I have a fear of bugs in general, not just spiders.

one bad expierence is one time on a renactment

i was talking to some of my friends outside the tent
then suddenly i felt something on my face i picked what it was off and i found it was a spider, i kid you not it was about the size of my palm
even creeper it looked like a spider from legend of zelda

thias even still haunts my memory :(

i tossed it as far and as hard as i could

Same here, I just don't like them. Let's add snakes too. One of the drawbacks of living in the desert is all of the creepy crawly critters.

[VersusBatman]

I like small garden snakes. I think they feel neat. Almost like smooth plastic. However poisonous snakes or large constrictors scare me.

may i remind people this if for people with arachnophobia
for people who are afraid of spiders

I've never been afraid of spiders. I've been bitten numerous times in my life and have had only one bad incident. Not sure what kind it was but a spider bit me on my right forearm and now I have a quarter-size scar there.

I joke with my friends about all the bites I've had and tell them I'm the original Spiderman. :laugh5:

were any of the Beatles afraid of spiders?

[The_Taxman]

I have arachnophobia.

I don't exactly have arachnophobia—if I see a tiny spider scuttling across my room I'll either let it go or squish it. Tarantulas are IMO one of the cutest arthropods ever.

Some arachnids creep me out—for example, California is very hot and dry, and I'm always worried about finding a scorpion in my shoes.
