Look what I found this morning (Warning: gross)

*shudder* what a way to wake up!  Please excuse how gross my floor looks in this photo.  The thing was HUGE!  Ew ew ew ew!  DH said he saw it the other day - then why the H didn't he kill it?!  He left it for me... what if I had woken up and it had been on my FACE?!  YUCK!

 No, I didn't kill it.  It was too big to kill; it would have been too squishy.  I got brave and put it outside.  Ick.  Can I be done for the day now?

Re: Look what I found this morning (Warning: gross)

  • OMG OMG OMG.  I would FLIP out!  I HATE spiders.  I would kill DH if he told me he saw it and didn't kill it! 
  • Holy Hell!  You are a braver woman than I.  My friend had a huge spider similar to that on her patio and we both agreed she should move. ;)

  • I had a similar spider chilling in a web on my front porch the other day.  I left it alone.  Though I took a picture and sent it to my sister, who told me if I didnt kill it, it would find its way inside my house Super Angry

  • ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!  I wouldn't have killed it either...only because I would have been too scared that I would miss and it would turn around and attack me.  I absolutely would have made FI kill it.  Abso-freaking-lutely.

  • OMG, we had a major spider issue in early October. That exact spider (no joke) was above my head in our bedroom. I was sleeping and woke up out of nowhere to find that thing planted on the wall right above my head. I never screamed so loud in my life. DH was freaked out and could barely kill the thing. Then, in an effort to get rid of all spiders and insects in my house, I went around and cleaned all the windows outside. In my living room window I found a perfect spider web. It was probably the coolest thing ever. Then, I saw the spider. It was a garden spider. I can't PIP, but look it up. I freaked out. Then the exterminator came and all insects are bye bye!

    Call the exterminator today! Do you live by any lakes? These spiders are common around wet areas.

  • Ewwwwww!!!!!  And if DH saw it and didn't do something about it, he would be getting in trouble!  Yuck!!

    Ha! I had a hard time sleeping for a few days. Even DH would wake up in the middle of the night slapping his face because he swore he felt a spider. I got a good laugh out of that at least.

  • No. Just no. NO.

    We have spiders here, but cockroaches are a bigger (and more common) problem. 

    Our exterminator is the best money we spend each month. I'd rather have a good exterminator than a maid.

  • You ladies are cracking me up!

    I was pretty mad that DH hadn't taken care of it.  I think he's more of a wimp than I am when it comes to bugs!

    We always have spiders in the apartment, but I'm usually OK with them because they are little.  This thing is so big it has a soul!  AH!

    I put it outside and then left for work about an hour later and it was gone.  I don't even want to know where it went.  I bet it crawled into my storage unit and is waiting for me to go in there unsuspecting....

    EEK!

    Probably.  It is a picture of a spider that's like 2 inches big!

    I'll take spiders over roaches ANY day!  We have a pretty bad infestation at work that I have to deal with on a daily basis *shudder*.
