Sounds gruesome, I mean the spider not giving a damn about your staring.

I believe you should take a cup next time, put it over the spider, push a cardboard piece/paper underneath it and throw it the heck out! That's what I do. I used to scream and jump, but as I grew older... let's say I changed my ways!

I recommend getting a few pet Tarantulas. I have not come across a house spider in my room for like...ages, coincidence? I think not, clearly they're larger cousins emasculate them! (I say that because usually if a spider is wandering around, it's likely to be male.)

Know how you feel We have not used the upstair bathroom in liek 3 months as there were a load of huge spiders in there. Now as I refuse to go in and kill them and the cleaner won't do it, my housemate has been sharing my bathroom. We only need to last as a few weeks more and my brother is visiting and he can deal with them (hates them more then me and has no aversion to killing them)

You caught it yet?

Nahhhh I think he relocated a long time ago, or at least I think so. I've gone back to sleeping in my bed the right way round, but definitely not as afraid as before haha. If I see it I'll just rage out and bash its head in with a magazine. Or cup it and torture it...

I still wasn't very happy about having a swollen eyelid for 3 days (lucky the only people who knew me were my family and the people who own the restaurant up the road) so I could avoid the general public completely unnoticed. But yeah, spiders near my eyes - no thanks.

I made the mistake of googling a botfly (not the removal from an eyelid though) and now I feel sick. Lovely.

Hehe youtube it, I dare you.

The first thing I did when I saw it was jump up and start screaming - I just wanted to get the hell away from it straight away. Erghhh the last time we paper and cupped it, I approached the toilet to flush it, and by accident I let the paper slip a little and the spider escaped, cue me dropping everything into the toilet and screaming like a girl as I ran out of the bathroom haha.

I'm still 16... so a long time to get used to spiders :P.

Lolwat? Definitely don't think that's gonna happen mate, but thanks for the suggestion. Only pet I'm getting is a corgi when I get my own place .

Wow sounds like you guys have properly been made his bitch. It's horrible isn't it, the feeling that a spider hundreds of times smaller than you has bigger balls. It's weird man. If there's a major infestation in the bathroom then it's probably worth it to just lob a grenade in there and hope for the best.

OP, do anything to the spider and I'll get this guy on you.

Hey c'mon, what's your favourite colour? There's probably a tarantula which comes in that colour (though if it's yellow..I'm sorry, haven't seen a species come in a bright yellow).

Can't say no to an A.versi?!

Think about it this way - if it bites you, you will gain superpowers.

He'll be shown a roundhouse to the face. Spiderman is just no way as cool as Batman.

Haha do you work in a zoo, or just take a very keen interest in arachnids? For some reason I find that one a bit less menacing than a smaller one.

haha no I don't I just like invertebrates in general, as well as reptiles and ampibians.

I've kept a number of things over the last 5 years but right now I have 6 Tarantulas & 3 lizards, got a spider (not Tarantula) arriving Tuesday though, not had a new one in ages.

Badass, you should just come over and take the little ****er back to your home.

I'm sure you'll still be saying that when your house becomes infested with bats.

I was parking my car a few weeks back when I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that I had a massive spider on my face right next to my ear. I hate spiders.
