Not much but I can't stand daddy-longlegs, they're just so creepy, I don't care about the rest.

I consider myself an arachnophobiac in recovery. I didn't have any trace of arachnophobia until a played Dark Messiah Of Might And Magick. Search for it on youtube if you got the balls. I don't think i were ever scared of the real ones though unless they were huge and creeping up my leg or something. It's the pictures i've been scared of. After a while i forced myself to look at them and today i'm simply a bit unnerved by the most uncanny ones.

Thanks for the pics people :D

Not especially. Probably because I live VERY far away from our friend, the Funnel Web. That thread was terrifying.

Maybe I'm growing out of arachnophobia, but today I've killed a pretty big spider. But I still have a trauma from the time I met a giant, hand-sized spider in my living room, while I was carrying a bowl of soup.

No. The only insect I'm even remotely afraid of is Wasps, but I've overcome the urge to run from them so I'm just left with an inalienable fear when I see one.
I'm fuckin' terrified of wasps strictly on their unpredictability and they don't die when you get stung. So those mofo's could keep coming back.
Wanna change? I'm allergic, my wasp/bee sting marks look like your wasp marks. And my wasp marks can threaten my life.
Sure! we'll go halfsies on the gene replacement treatment. Sound good?

I'd like to think I'm not, but let's just say that I prefer to completely avoid being in the same room as a spider if they're bigger than a coin.

Spiders don't necessarily scare me or anything I just hate having them in my room especially considering the area I live in is prone to Brown Recluse (plural?) spiders and I don't want to spend a few nights in the hospital with a huge purple bruise on my back. I've already had multiple spider bites and they hurt quite a bit.

Every once in awhile I get a large spider living in the crack in my wall. Not that it bothers me but i give them a good thwack whenever they're out and vulnerable.

My mother is seriously arachnophobic to the point of panic attacks and fainting. Because of that my brother and I always had to rush over and kill them, so I think the idea of constantly killing them before my mother saw them really threw out any kind of fear we might have had of them. That's not to say I would enjoy one crawling on me though.

I hate them. They are one of the few bugs I'll kill instantly instead of trying to catch it and let it outside. Spiders and mosquitoes are about the only two things I kill on sight.

Yuck, I know that feeling. A few weeks ago I rolled over in bed and opened my eyes to see one of those fuckers crawling towards my face. SO pissed, because you can never get back to sleep after something like that. You always feel like something is crawling on you.

Not at all. I like my spiders how I like my women. With long hairy legs and eight eyes.
Sounds like one hell of a party.

OT; not scared of spiders but some of the larger ones can make me jump, had to look after a tarantula at my work experience and once when I was feeding it, it jumped at the food and that made my heart jump if nothing else.

On a spider related theme, In out common room a bunch of girls (who were scared of spiders) were all on their chairs since one had scurried in. I walked all over macho and brave, picked up the little guy, let him run over my fingers and went to throw him out the window. The window was closed so I essentially just hit my hands into glass. Lost all cool points there and then and had to sheepily toss him out the next window

I like spiders unless they startle me, then they get squished and then, I feel bad. Spiders are pretty and nice to have around the garden. My favorite are jumping spiders they have adorable faces and, I love watching them stalk their prey.

I'd go with option 4, wich is the oposite of option 3.

For some reason small spiders make me go eugh and avoid them but big ones im like... meh...
