Scared to death of spiders....my heart nearly stopped when I saw the picture

I was expecting a cow carcass or something

I'd slowly back away, run to my kitchen, grab the largest cast iron pan that I own, and whack it (and cross my fingers it doesn't dodge )

I love the irrational fear of spiders

Unless you are 85 years old or an 80 pound starving ethiopian, anyone could kill that thing with their bare hands without no real danger. I'm not saying it wouldn't be really gross and squishee and gooey, but it's no big deal either

I'd be initially shocked, but large fat spiders doesn't creep me out at all. I'd probably move it to the side and let it be my buddy.

I'm glad I live in the north, nothing crazy like that here. The biggest spider I've seen are dock spiders, and they run away from you, not after you.

Fight or flight. If it was like a foot away from me, I'd run like a bitch to maintain distance.

However if it was close as hell, there is a chance I'd just:

a. smack it in fear/ fall on it

b. yell "WHAT THE FUCK!" and run

Put baby back in the aquarium with momma and her thirty seven sisters. Though what momma did with papa, I shouldn't really(CHOMP)tell you.

1. One large WTF, no pickles
2. Logitech G7 is probably in my hand. It's green, I'll just yell Hulk smash, own that bitch, and throw the keyboard AND mouse out.
2a. I've also got a 2x500GB MyBook sitting on my desk, it'll fuck his ass up.
3. ?
4. Change pants
5. Profit?

argh. those things as pussies. They are not capable of 25mph, they are not capable of destroying camels, and most importantly - are not capable of insane harm to a human. They might run up to someone, but that's only because, if in the daylight, they are seeking the shadow at the side. They hate the sun, and aren't technically even a spider. It's related, in the same way ticks and scorpions are related to spiders. They are just like an ordinary desert arachnid. And aren't really all that venomous to humans.

I was cleaning my room and a smaller one of those crawled out from under my bed. I screamed and then smashed it with a nearby keyboard. I would have trapped it, but I didn't want to risk it running away. I think I saw it on top my bed once, while I was in the bed :/.

The only way to be sure...

the only way I'd do it. Fuck that thing. lol

what is it... I'm unpacking and too lazy right now to search what it is.

Most likely I'd freak out, then get a jar and force it inside, then fill it with bleach and dump him away from my house.

I would take a larger keyboard and Hassan Chop that bastard, then I would meet the space station in orbit and then put on a pair of ND200 goggles and proceed to detonate a 50 kiloton nuclear device underneath the original keyboard.

I'd Frank Deux grab the thing and then let it crumble in my hands or maybe just jump across the room.
