The Letting Off Steam Thread

Who doesn't hate spiders? I get the occasional one in my room, it sucks because they find a way to crawl under every little thing so I can't get them. I had one that was like an 2 inches long crawl up my leg once, and I had all my lights turned off so I couldn't see it. The biggest bug I've seen recently though was a gigantic hornet or wasp or something, the thing must have been at least 5 1/2 inches long. I'm not afraid of bees unless they're like big ones near my face, but this thing was just crawling around and it scared the shit out of me.

Who doesn't hate spiders?

Hmm... let me guess, Spiderman?

[The X]

my mate likes all bugs and shit like that....at his old place he had like bugs hanging from the ceiling with needles through them and shit....freaky shit, especially when you're drinking....

since he moved into his own place recently, he finally ditched the bugs from the ceiling idea and it has ironically enough coincided with him getting a gf

[Kemp]

To kill all spiders once and for all, do a pest control. I strongly recommended. Do it every 6 months. It really does help.

...Are you joking

X, I think you need to reevaluate your mates.

[Kemp]

Of course I am, as if Spiderman does exist.

On a side note: I just saw the biggest fucking spider in our garden I've ever seen in my entire life. I didn't even think we had spiders like that here.. the body was like almost an inch and a half! FUCKIN GROSS! I'm the biggest baby when it comes to spiders!

I freaking cannot stand spiders either! There's this spider that I see every year around my house with the biggest ass, so big it'd make Dre drool, it freaks me out. I see it on several different locations every summer, and the closest it ever got to my house was under the small steps between the door to the house and the garage. I even kept it as a "pet" when I was a kid in one of those bug jars, but it just died after 10 days or something. Every year it'd reincarnate.

I killed about 4 or 5 spiders bigger then that in the last 6 months Thumbs Down They all kept showing up at the exact same spot. I hate spiders too.

I wouldn't even go near it. I'd probably scream like a girl and run away with flailing hands.

rofl, I just pictured that. Are you really that scared of them?

[J@3]

I used a broom to try and squash them... despite the fact that I can touch the roof without jumping, I still didn't get him good enough. So they all fell to the floor (individually, it wasn't attack of the spiders on just 1 occassion) and I had to chase the giant bastard from behind the fridge and try and squash him with my size 17 Nike sandals. I didn't wear those things for about 6 months after I got the first spider, they stayed in the middle of the kitchen the whole time.

WTF??? That's no insect, that's an alien species... a 13cm long wasp??? Are you sure?

Naw, I'd probably just scream like a girl and get some tissues and smash it repeatedly then wipe the remains on Legend's bedsheets. But yeah, I hate spiders, they're the scariest pieces of shit I've ever seen.

ROFL!! I don't think I'd want to live in Australia anymore. I heard about the flying spiders that actually jump on people and bite their necks... well, not to that extent, but I can see that happening

I don't really care about spiders, its those huge cockroaches that I hate.

Off topic: size 17 feet!!! WTF? I have size 46 (European) - that's around 12 in the USA. And you're only three inches bigger than me!

[cyanide]

He's 6'5", so it makes more sense now. Btw, why are you inquiring about his shoe size? j/k

[J@3]

They don't look as big as you'd imagine. The shoes that is, I speak for no other body parts.

I'm sure I exaggerated a little, but the thing was incredible.

Damnit, don't remind me. I was laying down about to go to sleep, and then this big cockroach just runs across my room. I went from laying down to standing up in about .3 seconds, I was so surprised. Spiders still suck more though.

[J@3]

I used to have red-back spiders I kept as pets when I was younger. I'd find them in the shed and put them in glass jars and such. They were interesting to watch, at the time I didn't realise they were one of the most poisonous species of spider in the World but you live, you learn.

My cousin actually ate a cockaroach.

Did he happen to be on Fear Factor at the time?

I think I made my peace with the spider today.. I looked at it and it had this huge spider web surrounding it. Looked so peaceful lol. Yeah the spider itself is fuckin disgusting but just got me thinkin that its just tryin to survive.. but if that bastard fuck gets close to me I'm gonna step on it like a Jehovah Witness at my door on a saturday morning

I wear a size 12 too, and we're both 6'2". Let's fight

Nah, she was just sitting in front of the fridge at my grandparents' house in Suriname and suddenly the thing came out from under the fridge. It was circleing her & circleing her for a while. After awhile I suppose she got fed up of it playing hide & seek with her from under the fridge so the next time it popped out, she grabbed it & popped it in her mouth.

I saw this all but I was only like...5 myself and she was like 2 so I was just disgusted and started crying. (No, I didn't stop her.)

So they called the doctor and stuff and they asked what they should do. The doc said if she isn't vomitting, don't induce her to vomit given cockaroaches have a lot of nutritions in them.

That was spooky. On terms of weirdness, I recall I used to eat sand/mud when I was around 5-6.

Ahhhhh so that explains it! I heard sand or mud is good with some lemon...

Yeah, I actually did the same thing with garden spiders, had 5 or 7 of them in a jar and it was interesting to see them mingle around with each other while I kept my distance.

but if that bastard fuck gets close to me I'm gonna step on it like a Jehovah Witness at my door on a saturday morning

ROFL!!! Man, I'm at work, don't make these jokes at this time of the day

I think they're delicacies in some parts of the world. Not sure about cockroaches exactly, but I know that some bugs are. It was interesting how a 2 year old actually ate a cockroach, because normally, they'd probably try to kill it, or run away crying, like I'd do when I see a spider.

To make things weirder, I used to make spit pancakes. You know, when you spit on sand, then you mix it up and you get a "pancake." I didn't eat it, though.

I'd make a killing off nickels and dimes if I sold you those spit pancakes j/k

[Jona]

Those spit pancakes are really disgusting Cy... really...
