DO NOT WANT NO NO NO

Guess who launched herself screaming out of her nightly bath last night because there was a SPIDER FLOATING IN THE TUB WITH HER.

Hi, I have a panic attack hangover today. Ugh.

oh for fuck's sake that would make me jump out of the tub too ... and possibly not want to take a bath for a week! ::hugs::

I don't blame you in the least. I'm spooling up quite a bit just reading about it. Very glad you didn't hurt yourself in the process.

That sounds horribly unpleasant. :(

Calming cat gif?

That is worse than when I thought there was a dead mouse in the water tank of my coffee maker this morning.

(It was a hairball that was suspiciously mouse-shaped. How did a hairball get in the coffee maker? I DON'T KNOW BUT IT WAS TRAUMATIC.)

I am not afraid of spiders and that would freak me out a bit. Egad.

tea is your friend. lots of tea. wash those toxins right out of your system

Oh I totally understand and sympathize with you on this one.

Normally I'm not afraid of spiders and can deal with them effectively and bob lethally... except on a few occasions. 1. I'm naked in the shower or tub, 2. It's an insane hour of the morning when I get up to go pee and I'm asleep and half naked sitting on the throne. 3. when I'm half naked in my jammies (i.e. tank top and scanties) and in bed.

I've totally done that. Worse was the time a fist sized (okay, I have tiny hands, but seriously) spider was hanging up above the shower. We have 2 baths, and I seriously ran out of the shower soaking wet all the way upstairs to start puking and trying to calm myself enough to keep *down* an anxiety pill. Ugh. Spiders. *shudder*

*shudders* Oh, gawd, you have my total sympathy!

One of my favorites is when I'm driving down some road where I can't easily just pull over, and a spider drops down out of the visor and hangs in from of my face. I'm afraid to breathe because I might suck it closer to me, I'm afraid to take my eyes off it and I'm afraid I'll crash if I *don't* take my eyes off it. Don't know why they love the sun visors so much but at least twice a year that happens.

Sorry about that. I thought of you the other day when I washed one down the drain while I was showering.

Had a spider emergency last weekend. Didn't have my glasses on, was running the water in the shower to warm it up, and bent down to pick up some "lint." Then it moved.

Cue screaming and flailing and making Ogre get out of bed just to kill it.

But, hey, that happened to one of my co-workers, and she panicked and ran smack into the edge of her open bathroom door.

Fire. It's the only way to be sure.
