There's a spider on my ceiling. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)4 years ago

I think he's stalking me. He just sits up there, watching me. I think he's waiting for me to fall asleep so he can pounce. If I kill him the spider mafia will put a hit out on me.

I have a spider that lives in my room too, I named her Charlotte...she doesn't bug me, and I don't bug her....so just let the spider be:-)


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

But I think this one really hates me. He gives me a bad vibe. He's kind of big, too, which doesn't help. I really think he wants to get me...:) If my husband was home I'd make him move him, but I won't mess with him...


myLot reputation of 82/100. sirensanssmile (2784)  4 years ago

I know what you mean. I have had a spider stalk me throughout the house before. Except he really did follow me and not just get into attack mode. I actually flug a rubber band at him and it hit him square on exploding him all over. Bad idea indeed but i was fascinating that I hit him on a vaulted ceiling with a rubber band..
I suggest vaccuuming him up that way you don't have to get near him.


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

Okay, that must have been a HUGE spider. Oh man...ick!....

Now this brings back memories! Over 33 years ago when my wife and I were only married several weeks and we were about to fall asleep, she spotted a spider on the ceiling.

Turning to me, my wife said," You know I am afraid of spiders, please, kill that spider for me?".

Wanting to go to sleep, and knowing the spider was not going to hurt her, I said, " He won't bother you, go to sleep.".

My wife: " I can't. Spiders frighten me. What if he crawls down here after I go to sleep and bites me?

Me: Well, it is about time you got over this fear of spiders. Kill it yourself. You'll be a better person for it.

My wife: Okay.

My wife then with much trepidation killed the spider! I was so proud of her. She overcame her great childhood fear of spiders and because I prodded her to do it. I also felt just a little smug having such a positive influence on my wife's development as a human being in overcoming such a primary fear.

To this day, I date the ending of the honeymoon to that moment.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ineedaname (795)  4 years ago

I would kill my husband if he said that to me. That is one of his jobs. I hate spiders. If he doesn't kill it then he gets to stay up all night watching it with me.


myLot reputation of 41/100. redyellowblackdog (3989)  4 years ago

Well, even I do not get away with not killing spiders anymore. Now that my wife has overcome her fear of spiders and thanks to me, I might add, does she kill them herself?
No, she does not. Now she tells me that I have to kill them because she said so, not because she is afraid.


myLot reputation of 84/100. SunSix (11899)  4 years ago

Thats progress!


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

"Because she said so"....and that is as it should be....lol

I was sitting on the bed one day and happened to notice a spider crawling around in the blankets and I made my husband get off the couch and come all the way upstairs to kill it. He was NOT pleased with me, because there was a game on, but he did it anyway because I wouldn't have shut up about it until he did....

I even make him dispose of the already dead ones, like the drown one I found in the bathtub. I wouldn't even touch it.

But my husband has duty tonight and isn't home to act as my spider hit man. For some reason, the spider mafia is scared of him.

ROTFL! Thanks for making me laugh. I HATE spiders. Can I send all the spiders around me to you to join their little spidee friend and you?


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

Please don't let your spiders know what's happening at my house...my spiders might call in reinforcements...

I think you are seeing spiders because you spend too much time on the the web (the world wide web). Anyway spiders are wonderful creatures. They are marvelous weavers. They don't hurt a fly (they eat them). If the spider is not there, there will be so many other annoying critters on your ceiling. So let the spider be. I am sure you like spider man too. He won't hurt you. If any harm comes to you as a result of your co-existance with this spider, I will hold myself personally responsible.


myLot reputation of 73/100. 1fatpig (498)  4 years ago

she may have died!! she has not responded to you!! its all your fault!!! spider lover ...


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

I know you think that spiders are wonderful, but they've seriously been out to get me since I was 10 and I was attacked by a grass spider. Ever since then, they are always sneaking up on me, trying to kill me.

Spiders stalk me all the time apparently. I tend to get spider bites overnight once or twice a month.

In the Russian culture, having a spider in your home is good luck. It also means you'll be getting mail or a letter very soon. Go figure. o_O
I like spiders, but I stay away from them unless I'm sure they won't hurt me. Don't kill him! Trap him somehow and take him outside.^^


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

See, that's what he wants me to do. He wants me to get close enough so he can jump on me and bite....I'm not falling for his evil scheme....

Kill it! I'm terrified of spiders. If it crawls on the wall or anywhere you can reach it, then kill it. Or if you have a bug spray you can use that as well.:)


myLot reputation of 73/100. 1fatpig (498)  4 years ago

or rocket launcher maybe!! cool


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

I'd love to kill him, but every time I kill a spider, the spider mafia sends an even big spider to get me.

He's moved to the picture over the bed. I think he's waiting for me to fall asleep....I'm going to have to get evasive....

this calls for a serious strategy session...I need coffee...


myLot reputation of 82/100. josephperera (2394)  4 years ago

Use the vacuum cleaner. Behave as if you are not doing it deleberately. For instance after cunningly pulling it into the vaccum cleaner, just ask you mom, "Mummy, where's that lovely spider which was on my ceiling?". This way the spider mafia will be misled and will not bother you.


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

I finally did get out the vacuum cleaner. I pretended like I was doing my every day cleaning, and opps! sorry little spider! Now, if he just manages not to climb out of the vacuum cleaner, I should be okay--for now...

lol spiders huh? i though maybe something will eat it then your safe lol i googled this...
WHAT WOULD EAT A SPIDER? Frogs, toads, lizards, birds, shrews, beetles, ants, centipedes, wasps, and bigger spiders like to eat them. Other dangers to spiders include people, storms and cold weather, and fungus. id say the toad then you can kiss it a maybe a prince will appear....lol


myLot reputation of 38/100. vikingswest (1253)  4 years ago

Ok annie... lets just think this through... You start with a frog to keep the spiders in line... snakes for the frogs...birds for the snakes...Pretty soon sndcain will be bilching about bears drinking from her toilet. No. Go get a large glass and a piece of paper. Trap the spider with the glass and cover it with the paper... let the nice little spider go free to scurry across your sidewalk... and smash it with your shoe. Problem solved.


myLot reputation of 54/100. sndcain (3086)  4 years ago

ROFL...that reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons...

anyway, lizards and frogs and beetles don't sound like much of an improvement. If I kill him, the spider mafia will get me for sure. I need my spider killing husband, and he has duty tonight and can't protect me....

Let's hope I survive the night....
