Poll: Freaky New Spider in the Room

[fa_fallen_ye]

If it's that big how'd it even get in!

 

[JasonKaotic]

I'm terrified of spiders. I'll evacuate a room if I see a microscopic fucker on the wall, but if I saw that thing...
Well, I wouldn't be living in England anymore. Or on Earth.

 

[NathLines]

I would get the fuck out, call the police and move to another country.

Big as football? You run, run as if you are Sonic the Hedgehog on steroids. Also find a new place to live because that place is no longer safe if something like that was able to get in.

And then call the cops/military and tell them to bomb your house. Lie and say someone just dropped a vial of anthrax or something if you have to, just get them to blow it up!

OT: I'd bail. Size of a football!? I think they made a movie like that, and let me tell you, shit hit the fan.

I'd run, screaming in terror, and close the door. Then I'd call my parents, an exterminator and the cops/ambulance, the exterminators because they could probably catch it as well as see if there are any more, the cops because if they can't catch it, we'll need the guns to kill it before it kills us, and the ambulance to try and treat anyone who gets bitten (and maybe extract some venom to make an antidote).

Considering anytime I get bit by a simple house spider I get a huge ass welt I agree 100% with this response

Catch it!, it may be a strange specie

 

[Sean Steele]

Wimps! I'd let that sucker bite me chances are you'll be the ones regretting you don't get nifty spider based superpowers.

(This is my policy for all oddly colored animals.)

bright blue tends to be a bad sign.

I would try to lock it in the room and then call the authorities.

Id also tell my sister to take my nephew far far away he is allergic to house spider bites and has been in hospital twice. Plus it could probably eat my niece straight off.

I don't think I would try and kill it becuase, well, it may be a creepy ass bastard but that's no reason to kill something. Also if it bit you even if it wasn't poisonous the bacteria would probably infect and rot your skin.

Spiders are mostly beneficent creatures that kill vermin and pests. If they looked like kittens we would probably love having them around. Unfortunately they dont...

 

[ultrachicken]

I would run like the flash on speed and call animal control to blow my house sky high.

 

[Robert Ewing]

Shoot it with nukes, just to be safe D:

 

[Red Albatross]

For a spider like that, fire is not sufficient.

 

[The Lawn]

The solution is quite simple.

 

[Gamblerjoe]

I would take a level of wizard, and make the spider my familiar.

 

[Bloodwings]

One question: Why does this spider have 9 legs?

 

[C95J]

I'm not scared of spiders one bit, so I would try and catch it. Just get a big tub and trap him in it.

 

[starkiller212]

Run through the French doors, through the fence, through the neighbor's house, and hijack the first car I see. Then drive to Antarctica.

 

[Dirzzit]

One question: Why does this spider have 9 legs?

I love how he's all: OM NOM NOM

I kinda want one now

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

Assuming I could do anything but sit absolutely still, staring, weeping silently? Run, through objects, people, borders. Put as much distance between myself and the spider as possible before my muscles burn out or my lactic acid build up causes enzyme malfunction on a fatal scale.

I think spiders are incredible, and I try at all opportunities to save them. They're among my favourite animals for so many reasons, but I am terrified of them. Tiny spiders aren't a problem, large house spiders terrify me, however tarantulas I'm okay with. The fur, girth, and, in the species I've encountered (by design =P), docile nature, makes them appear less as spiders to the irrational bit of me that sets off every warning system in my body at the thought of certain species being anywhere near me.

The one you describe though, I imagined having no fur just a prominent exo-skeleton, huge legs (long), and a comparatively small body. Combined with the vivid colours, and it's proximity to me, I would likely be paralysed with fear. I could see a picture of it with relative impunity though, which wasn't always the case. I'll itch a little :/

Now that that's out of the way, I know there is only one option that I can take. Get bitten by it. I mean, what else are you going to do when you see some weird blue spider? Just imagine the things I'll be able to do!

 

[mexicola]

Because I'm disgusted by insects I'd leg it. If it were a regular sized spider I'd squash it without a second thought but a football sized one? Fuck that shit I'm out of there.
