Ok.. just full disclosure here.. this is a full on shit post.. it literally will be me dramatically retelling the story of why I canβt sleep.. as I almost died from a spider sneak attack and now I canβt sleep.
So, I really wouldnβt blame you for skipping this one.. seriously.. itβs totally ok. I actually had been planning on my SF walk down memory lane.. but unfortunately a spider happened.. and yeah.. death... so no need to read on, just come back another day for something a bit less shitty π
pretty photo that isnβt of a spider.
Ok.. some of you are still here? Crazy bastards
Alright, hereβs the deal.. Iβm scared of spiders, like deathly afraid of spiders. Yes, I hate to admit that.. I hate that I am afraid of spiders. I mean my god, I will flag a whale, take on a coyote and out shoot the boys any day of the week.. but I am scared of a spider? π itβs flippin ridiculous.. but itβs just the way it is. Itβs like by body takes on a life of its own and physically rejects them...
Anyways... as I said I had planned on writing my walk down memory lane post and even was happy that it was going to give me that inspiration Iβve been lacking to post.. that was the goal.
So here I am washing my face for the night, brushing my teeth etc you know, all those things... and all of a sudden some fucking mutant ass spider is there in front of me. Out of bloody nowhere!
I mean, the bastard was huge.. it was so hugeπ© and it came out of nowhere!! *why god..
Now clearly I have had to deal with a spider or two in my life, but where the fuck did it come from? I mean itβs bad enough to have a mutant spider in your bathroom, but when one just shows up on your counter like it somehow teleported from the damn enterprise?? That will screw with your head.
So then I had to make a decision...
back away slowly.. lock the door.. and burn that mother fucker down.
OR
Gather some tiny speck of courage and kill that damn thing.
π€ Well, the first definitely was my first choice for longer than I would like to admit.. but luckily calmer heads prevailed and I threw a shoe at it until it met its maker.
Yes.. so thatβs it, right? There was a spider.. I killed the spider.. end of story?
Yeah.. no.
See the problem is when a huge mutant spider just appears out of nowhere.. then well.. now you know a mutant damn spider can appear out of nowhere... and you are literally not safe anywhere π
So now my night is ruined.
Here I am cuddled in bed with my tea, attempting to write the walk down memory lane post and every time my hair brushes my arm.. AHHHH MUTANT SPIDER!! ... have an itch on the back of my neck... IS IT THE MUTANT SPIDER?!?! π
Ugh.. so now Iβm haunted by that damn spider. Because while I may have killed its ass, somehow itβs still winning.
Mutant fucking spider - 1 .... Scaredy Cat Justine - 0
my how the tables have turned...
Yeah, see I told you.. this whole entire post was about a damn spider. I tried to warn you... feel free to downvote but my god.. I cannot move on with my life, Iβm officially ruined.
I tried to write a good post tonight, I really did... but all you get is this.. as the spider won tonight.
twitches
Thatβs all folks!
Much Love,
The girl who died by spider
Mutant fucking spider

Oh dear. And I know someone that is deathly afraid of spiders and roaches. To the point of not being able to go past one of in a hallway. Or kill it. It seems you do go as far as killing the damn thing though. Mmm. Ok I need to sleep. Checks for spiders

Oh my god, this is sooo relateable!!!
I don't really have any fear of spiders or anything, however...
The number of times I've been reading in bed and every little itch or tickle of hair or sheets or anything, I immediately can't ignore because I'm assuming it's a bug or something! ... and yup, 99% of the time it's not. But of course your brain assumes EVERY time it is!
I'm with you on this one!! :)

Dude, I seriously was ruined lol. I was up until 3am just my skin crawling and making this face repeatedly π© ... I should have made a ulog.. just a Blair witch style documentary of how I survived the night with the mutant spider. Lol. Ugh.. Iβm such a chicken.. but seriously #itwassobigthough....

Who can resist a story about mutant fucking spiders?
I was enthralled all the way through the post and powered on despite feeling a slight twinge on the back of my neck which could very well have been a ninja attack by a mutant spider! They breed them big here in Australia too. Fuckers.
I usually coat them with spider spray until they are so weighed down they can't move. When they are dead I use the longest thing I can find (broom) to exfil them from the location. I don't like spiders. Fuckers. Who invented those little bastards anyway.
Good shit post Justine.

Iβm not gonna lie... spiders are the reason I will never visit Australia. I donβt care how cute kangaroos are, Iβm not going to put myself on a island with spiders the size of small children.. itβs just not gonna happen.. I wonβt come out alive. Crazy damn Aussies
Thanks for the love π β€οΈ Iβm still twitching...

Yeah, I get it. Our spiders get big and even the small ones can fuck you up. Fuckers.
Still, you should come down. It's an awesome place.
Anyway, have a good weekend. Watch out for those spiders. πΈοΈπ·οΈ

Maybe. Maybe when your are sleeping he will do that crawling in and out of your mouth thing that spiders are so fond of doing?

You likely wont open this link but there's only a couple spiders in Cali that are worth taking notice.. Neither deadly, my guess is you killed a wolf spider.

I found in my experience that moving to a different house is really helpful when dealing with spiders, also works with rast, cockroaches,rapid dogs, and dead bodies.

Hello @justineh, I can tell you that suffering from a phobia is not easy to carry and more difficult when it is an insect, the important thing is that you had the strength to throw the shoe, if you did and you would do it again, you are strongly asleep, rests you won the battle and you will do it again if there is another spider, how many of us talk about our fears and how many manage to kill the spider, so go ahead and wait for the new post. Happiness always
