Had to evict a big ass spider from my room today and was reminded of this meme template. At least it’s easier to evict spiders than cats, the latter don’t fit in measuring cups.

spiders are fine as long as they arent poisonous, and Estonia doesn’t have poisonous spiders in the wild
Someone here mentioned a while ago that some house spiders learn your active hours and typically come out to hunt when you’re either not around or asleep.
I usually ignore them because I’d much rather deal with occasional corner cobwebs than literally any other pest hanging around.
Spiders are the only thing not interested in my food.
It’s also common knowledge that when you’re inactive (sometimes referred to as asleep) spiders descend into your mouth about 8 times per year. 🫥
What are they doing, just fucking teabagging me in my sleep tri-fortnightly?!
I draw the line at black widows, like the ones outside my sibling’s house.
They are not friend shaped.
For real.
Black Widows and Brown Recluses, no thank you.
Cellar spiders and jumping spiders - you’re good.Not saying you should befriend black widows or anything but they are actually pretty docile and will only bite in extreme situations when they are trapped and it’s the only option. Typically they will just pretend to be dead.
Nobody cares, but the four fingers angers me.
I have black widows all over my house, they are welcome here. You are not.
There’s one right by the front door, waiting for you. They are very patient and well-behaved companions.
Also, both will absolutely bite you, randomly. And climb on random things.
At least spiders won’t drop things off ledges
Except for themselves. Usually aiming land on your head for some inexplicable reason.
Well, they are not really the same, are they? One is cute, small, furry and graceful. And the other one’s a cat.
Spider are cool outside but not inside.
i mean, they’re pretty much entirely room temperature, unlike cats, which are warm blooded
Thanks to the heatwaves, cats are also room temperature
Soon, they’ll be colder than room temperature
Or is it the room that is cat temperature? 🤔
If a spider was you sized it wouldn’t hesitate
“A tiger enters the room”
ok but also valid me and the spiders have a rule. they stay outside and keep the perimeter clear and i dont freak out T_T
though as much as i’m terrified of spiders they’ll always end up with me getting the biggest cup you can find, sliding a paper under it, and screaming all the way to the window.
I always feel bad when I have to remove spiders from the house. I try to be gentle, and I do hope that they stick around outside. There’s more for them out there anyway.
ITT: Orb Weavers seemingly help to reduce arachnophobia? Chill little dudes, just trying to get by like the rest of us
As a borderline arachnophobe, I’ve had the privilege of hosting a gorgeous orb weaver in a really awesome spot for this season. She’s got a massive space, where lots of flies come, and it’s in a social area outdoors, but the location is perfectly situated for viewing from a distance so it doesn’t trigger anything for me.
She has her mate, she’s healthy as hell, and I’m actually dreading the day she passes because it’s become a bit of a ritual daily interaction with her.
Have you considered getting her a companion, like some pig?
a rat and a goose would make good friends too.
Now am sad
I know which one I’d feel more comfortable waking up next to…
I’m usually arachnophobic, but once I had an orb weaver decide to live on the back of my work truck. Freaked me out at first, but I let it be. It would come out of it’s hiding spot at night to make its web across the truck, and I would watch it clean up in the morning before I left. Almost got it on my face a few times while doing overnight work. It stayed with me all summer, I could always find it hidden under a door seal or up on the ladder rack, tucked away.
It was nice almost having a pet. Then, one morning, I get ready to leave for work. The web was still up, tattered, and spider bro was nowhere to be seen…
That ending was surprisingly sad.
Personally, and idk if there’s a phobia for this, I really don’t like things that are small and fast. If I can’t keep track of something it makes me uncomfortable. So spiders are an ick for me.
