"Why do we hate spiders?"

A nice easy question there. Comes from me finding an absolutely huge spider crawling out from my bed last night - ruining my San Andreas fun. My stepdad has the photos on his camera - so I'll upload them when I get the chance. could this possibly be the start of the SR spider hunt?

Anyway, why do we hate the horrible little things?

I wouldnt say im scared of spiders, just sometimes it can be a fright if an unsuspected one crawls near you or that. Three incidents for me-

1. After having a shower picks up underwear and a massive spider drops out.

2.After washing my face I pick up the towel and as I dried my face I noticed a spider dashing towards it - that went down the plughole.

3.Whilst getting ready to for bed - lights out tv giving allumination to my room a spider runs accross my pillow.

For me its more the thought of what they could have done if you didnt notice them...

I dispose of all spiders I find in my room, that's all.

Spiders everywhere else don't bother me, except the big one in my porch the other day. I hoovered it up yesterday.

I don't hate spiders.
Obviously I don't appreciate one abseiling onto my face in the dead of night, but that goes for all creepycrawlies.

Hate spiders? YES!!! Why? I think it came about when I was about seven or eight. I had a spider bite me on the back of my neck. Haven't like them since.
Interestingly a favorite superhero for me is Spider-Man. Uncanny, huh? I can't stand spiders but like a human wall crawler.
Had a fright the other day sitting at the computer. Felt something crawling on my arm, looked, and saw a huge spider. On my arm. One shriek, one fling of the arm to get him off and onto the desk, one hit, he was history.

:^P

I wasn't sure of the spelling, so I copied you!

I don't know about you but I think that was spelled incorrectly

I don't know about penguin wrappers, but I know that it crawls in (excuse the pun) to almost every discussion about arachnaphobia!
