Forums General Chit-Chat Spiders in the Shower
Edit: I'm gonna preface this story by apologizing for having drowned the spiders. Yes I know they were living creatures, and yes I probably could have done something better, but I was naked with others in the house, my options were limited.
So today I wanted to have a nice refreshing shower before school. I get all my stuff ready, I get into the shower and as I turn the water on I notice a black circle hidden under our bath mat (my sister needs it to prevent her from slipping in the tub). I've become a well-known bug killer in my house so I just washed the butt away, no problem. BUT THEN I casually put my hand on my thigh because I felt proud of myself for catching the spider, but I felt something soft and weird on my thigh. YUP, THERE WERE TWO. There was another spider just chilling on my thigh - needless to say it went to bug heaven too. I felt bad, I screamed so loudly I scared my mother.
So uh, summer is great right? ;_;
@Glume: Well I mean, I normally get a cup and paper and send spiders outside, but at 6 in the morning, naked in the shower I didn't really have time to process.
I've become so scared of the spider escaping and getting on me or disappearing while I try to get it outside, so whenever I see one I just have to end it for my own sanity. It's sad but I just cant handle it.
@Sulley: Totally understandable given that specific set of circumstances.
I've personally always thought it was kind of nasty that we'll kill spiders and other bugs simply for being scary. Like.... if you compare deaths from spider bites to deaths from dog bites, and then compare their treatment....
but I digress!
I you guys!

@Glume: since the world's deadliest animal is the mosquito, we can kill them, right?
@Tuijp: If something attacks you, feel free to defend yourself!
I sympathize with the spiders in the shower thing. There are many here, since we live in the forest. I'm kind of numb to them being there by now, and just sort of move them out of the way, and keep going. XDD;;;

How environmentally minded of those spiders for trying to save water!
As a class of animals, spiders will do fine without us carrying them outside every time we see one. But I'm not a see-spider-n-scream kinda gal. They do their thing, I do mine.
