Creepy Crawly

If I haven't mentioned this before, I'm deathly afraid of spiders. I don't care how big or small they are (okay, obviously I do care how big they are, they're gross), but I'm scared of them no matter what they look like. I went into the faculty bathroom the other day, having to pee of course. I noticed this spot/spider looking thing on the floor. I honestly don't think it's a spider at first, until it starts moving. Lucky for me I've finished my business, and let out a yell as I move as far away from this thing as I can. I keep my eye on the little creepy crawly as I'm frantically washing my hands.

Now, wouldn't a normal person just squash it, considering it's on the floor and all I'd have to do is step on it? Oh no, I can't get spider guts on my shoe, that'd be more then traumatic. I do the only rational thing possible, I run out the door and leave it for the next person. Not to self, don't go pee before checking the bathroom for spiders.

Mel I love you! you make things so funny when I read things like this. I know some people have phobia's about spiders. On the other hand I am not scared of them. I would have just steped on it. But, you did the right thing if you are scared of them. Good Going!

I'm the same way! I only kill it if Matt's not home and it's threatening to crawl on me or my baby.

Just thinking about spiders makes me ill! I can't squish them either. For some reason I think they're bigger than me!

I would do the same thing. Squishing the little buggers is awful. Blech!
