Re: Post Here if You're Procrastinating - The Oxford Chat Thread Mk2Poor you. I can't stand the things and hate being in the same room as large ones but am able to kill them in a vicious and unwarranted fashion.(Original post by The_Lonely_Goatherd)
There were spiders as big as my palm in last year's accommodation. One crept up on me in the shower
Another time one decided to sit on my door for a few hours and none of the boys would get rid of it for me

Re: Post Here if You're Procrastinating - The Oxford Chat Thread Mk2I can deal with smaller ones if they're at a safe distance and stay in the same place where I can see them and give them evils. Large ones are a big no-no. I'm no good at killing them either, coz I have no aim and freak out.(Original post by Teebs)

I was just so unimpressed. Surely if one's living with eight boys, at least one of them should be able to remove a spider from my door?!
This is why one shouldn't watch 'Arachnophobia' as a small child

Re: Post Here if You're Procrastinating - The Oxford Chat Thread Mk2Poor spiders?!?!
I have very poor concentration as well. I distract myself so easily, to the point where tutors have suggested putting me in a separate room for exams!
Shiny objects are good for the soul. Any shiny object in particular?

Hmm, clearly someone didn't watch 'Arachnophobia' when they were young then

I have to clean a bathroom when I go offline. Funnily enough this isn't helping my procrastination.
Ahh, what a modern man you are
When I was living alone over the summer, and the house had been empty for a month, I had to deal with a lot of very large spiders. It got to the point where I automatically took a hoover into my room at bed time in order to deal with the little bastards. Hate them :>.<: -

Re: Post Here if You're Procrastinating - The Oxford Chat Thread Mk2I only do it cos my mum is scary.(Original post by Athena)

Anyway, surely willingness (or at least lack of ouright refusal) to clean bathrooms is a desirable trait in a man?

And if someone doesn't tell me I'll be walking soon I *will* buy leopard print crutches. I'm bored. -

Re: Post Here if You're Procrastinating - The Oxford Chat Thread Mk2Generally the only reasonable solution is to plan ironic revenges. If my friends were being overly PDAy my solution would be along the lines of, go out, find a girlfriend, counter-PDA but more.(Original post by Athena)
My friends are being couple-y
Shouldn't really huff at other peoples' PDAs, I spose, but still 
That or make rude/bitter comments.
Although possibly not the girlfriend bit
