Spiders. With a passion. Even though I'm shit scared of them there's a web full of babies on one of the guinea pig's cages, my friend told me to burn it was sorely tempted.
Spiders are the worst.
My room is in a partially-finished basement, so I usually have to share it with a bunch of bugs. Things like spiders and house centipedes, and these really ugly cricket things that I don't mind quite so much.
The centipedes are the most irritating, because when I try to catch them by covering them with a cup and sliding a piece of carboard under it to trap them, it mangles their legs because they're too stupid to move. It's just gross.
I ignore the crickets most of the time because they're impossible to catch without using a vacuum or something. They're harmless anyway.
But spiders just piss me off.
Last night there was a small wolf spider on my ceiling, and I caught it without incident. When I went into the bathroom to flush it down the toilet (fuck spiders, man), it first managed to cling to the inside of the cup and I had to shake it free, and then when I threw it into the bowl it fucking
leaped and almost escaped. It jumped maybe six inches in the air, bounced off the seat, and fell back in. I had to get out the brush and clean the bowl after just to make sure it didn't get under the rim and hide.
I hate spiders.
