Mr_Danger Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 In the last week I've heard of my mother in law and some lad I used to go to school with both finding grass snakes in their homes. When the fuck did this shit start happening.
Vamp Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I once had a spider jump down from my ceiling and land in my drinks just as I was taking a sip of it. I wasn't best impressed.
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2014 How long before a newspaper reports someone setting their house alight trying to deal with a spider of extraordinary magnitude?
Paid Members FLips Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2014 Had one I didn't even know was in the room, about the size of the palm of my hand, fall from the ceiling and bounce off my lower lip. I was livid. It scuttled across the floor and I stamped it with the ferocity of Jack Swagger doing his entrance.
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2014 I feel bad for my mum — she went to clean up my London flat to prepare it for sale after we'd turfed the Lithuanian toerag tenants out, and as she walked in the front door, my dad tells me there was a five-second sequence of events where she said "It stinks in here, why is it so humid?" and then a bunch of cockroaches fell in her hair. *Shiver* Reminds me of a story my friend told when of when she was living a pretty shitty flat in London and woke up to her boyfriend stroking her cheek... except he was still in asleep and it was a dirty great cockroach on her face.
Loki Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The odd spider around the house is a good thing - they kill flies and bugs, which I find more annoying.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2014 Those massive house spiders aren't going to catch any fucking flies hiding under my bookcase, though. What do those bastards actually eat? I think they just wait for me to go to bed then go and open up the fridge, make a sandwich or something.
Undefeated Steak Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Those massive house spiders aren't going to catch any fucking flies hiding under my bookcase, though. What do those bastards actually eat? I think they just wait for me to go to bed then go and open up the fridge, make a sandwich or something. I leave a sandwich and a beer on the mantelpiece for them. House spiders are scary enough without them being a hungry house spider. Seriously though you're right, a few flies aren't filling those fuckers up.
neil is brill Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Strange occurrence in my house just now. A beast of a spider just came running from under our tv unit. I almost crapped my pants!! I jumped up on the sofa. Then the spider suddenly fell on its side and dropped dead! Did I frighten the fucker to death?! Anyone else ever seen this or have I just experienced a one in a million thing?
kev2050 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I don't mind spiders. Like someone earlier in the thread, sometimes they make me jump when they surprise me out of nowhere, but I can then put my logical head on, realise it's only a spider, and I generally leave them be. I don't mind them in my house keeping it other bug free. I blame my slight jumpiness on the film arachnaphobia. I'm making a conscious effort to make sure my 2 year old son doesn't grow up with any irrational fears, by not learning them from me at least. I might be going too far, as now whenever he sees a spider, he puts his face about 2 inches from it and tries to have an extended chat with it. Also, I own a snake. Just a corn snake. To me it's really strange when I see people get scared about him. I have a friend who is 6 foot odd and 18 stone who hates spiders. Whenever he sees one, he punches them to death and almost puts walls through. Bit excessive in my opinion!
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted May 19, 2015 Awards Moderator Posted May 19, 2015 So if all the stuff in this thread wasn't enough, in parts of Australia it rains spiders. http://www.smh.com.au/environment/animals/raining-spiders-in-goulburn-entirely-possible-scientist-says-20150514-gh1guf.html Yes, that's webbing on the ground.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 19, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted May 19, 2015 (Naturalist Martyn Robinson) emphasised that it was unlikely any of the species of spiders involved in these phenomena were harmful. "There's nothing to worry about ... Its raining spiders you thick cunt. Why wouldnt there be anything to worry about?
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted May 19, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2015 Define "unlikely to be harmful"... it's harmful if I die or kill myself because this starts to happen around me, right?
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted May 23, 2015 Paid Members Posted May 23, 2015 Me and Mum were sitting in the living room yesterday and this big looking spider thing just wandered into the middle of the room and looked at the both of us then walked back out again. Could have been trying to rob my house the fucking size of it.
