I'm strange....
Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely HATE HATE HATE spiders. So here's where it gets weird...
We bought our house back in March. Officially moved in the beginning of April. The first time I went and opened our mailbox, there was this HUGE hairy spider in there just sitting on the little door... I freaked out and tried to kill it, but wasn't successful. So eventually, I just decided to leave it in the mailbox. It wasn't poisonous and it wasn't hurting anyone so whatever.
Last night, I get the mail and set it on the kitchen counter. About 30 minutes later, I go to look through it and sort it out. Out of a newspaper comes this giant, hairy spider and runs across the kitchen counter. I freaked out and tried to kill it, but I missed. So then I started thinking about how this spider had somewhere managed to thwart me TWICE and then I felt bad for it, so I caught it and let it go back in the mailbox. Who does that???
I kept thinking "Aww, that was his home!!!" So I put him back. The day that Sara starts having emotions for spiders is the day that Sara realizes that there is seriously something wrong with her.
Re: I'm strange....
On one hand I say good for you for letting it live and putting it back in its home. On the other I would have smashed it flat! I hate spiders! lol
stu- it was a big hairy spider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grossness! I hate bugs, but I don't like killing them either. When I had the same students for two years I had one specific bug getter. He would get the bug on a paper towel or cup and take it outside.
That is probably what I would have done with the spider. I don't think I could have put it in mailbox, but I would have thrown it outside.
I don't think I have any words for this. Just
Also, the fact that it sat on your counter for 30 minutes...what was he doing in there!? Plotting your demise I'm sure. Spiders are evil.
I absolutely hate/am terrified of spiders. no way. I probably would have taken a bat to my own mailbox the first time I saw it. And if I realized I had carried it into the house and it ran across my counter? Dear lord...I would probably have a heart attack.
But good for you! haha
