I definitely have an irrational fear of spiders. im not even really sure why. If a spider gets on/near me, I freak out and go nuts. I'm a 24 year old guy who is generally pretty relaxed but put a spider on me or anything that looks or feels like a spider and i'll scream like a little girl and run away lol. :cry:

I'm kinda between hate and fear, picked hate though because in the recent year I'm nowhere near as scared of them as I was.

I hate the big MASSIVE spiders the most, although I really hate fast ones as well... I hate them all :unsure:

I also remove them carefully because I don't want to touch them :shiftyninja:

Unfortunately I'm quite scared of spiders. The smaller ones don't bother me too much but I bought a house a year ago and unfortunately it comes with a Hobo Spider problem. I use glue based spider traps that seem to work pretty well but I tend to imagine all of the ones that it doesn't catch. /shiver

Spiders are one of the few animals I don't like. I can deal with snakes just fine but spiders just bug (ha!) the heck out of me. I live in an area that is heavily wooded and get quite a number of spiders, snakes, critters of all of them spiders are the ones I don't think twice about killing.

A lot of the time I see them, and if they aren't particularly large (on main level) then I just let them be. If it is in the basement, well I let just about anything go down there. Half of the time I am also just intrigued by them, but if they get in my way, to the toilet they go.

I am not scared, I am terrified of spiders. I don't think I hate any thing else more. When I see one, I run away from them as far as I can and tell someone to remove it. The pholcidae (daddy long legs) are the most annoying and frightening. The moment I think of spiders and anything touches me, I yell. I almost always have a mild heart attack when a spider lands on me.

I think they're really cool looking, but I'm scared of them for some unknown reason.

I never kill them even though they make my heart rate increase to 9000 bpm lol. Usually I trap it under a container, slide a piece of paper under it, then put a hard cover book under that and let them free outside. Actually I do this with pretty much all insects. I don't particularly like them, but I never kill them. I always feel bad when someone immediately steps on them just for existing...

bottom line... i don't like spiders. the ones in your house i typically got to whack them or otherwise i am a little paranoid for a while after it if they happen to get away etc.

i would be OK with looking at one of those big spiders in a cage but any of those ones in your house i gotta liquidate.

I'm scared of them, but don't hate them, necessarily. Once I was in a tent with my cousin and I saw this huge wolf spider on the side of the tent and it really freaked me out. Then later I had one sidle up to me while I was watching TV and that wigged me out too. So, for the big ones (like wolf spiders) I have a real fear. And especially of tarantulas, even though most of them are not venomous or dangerous to humans. But still, they're huge! And that's creepy. But I'm fascinated by tarantulas too. I've always liked movies that feature terrorizing spiders (Kingdom of the Spiders, Arachnophobia, 8 Legged Freaks). No, this isn't me below. :omg:

Why do you not have any in between options?

Do I like, hate, or scared of spiders?

Eh, I certainly don't like them, nor do I hate them.

Do I remove them or kill them?

If they are near the window, they go out the window. Depending upon the size, I leave them alone, other times I flush them down the window.

Which scare me the most?

The spiders that were JUST there, and are now gone! Lol.

More options wouldn't give the answers I was interested in, plus, a poll with 20 options gives a cluttered result. You just need to pick the one that is closest for you (Y)

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

lol no seriously, i really, really, really hate spiders. i couldn't even answer this poll honestly because there's no option for "all of the above" when referring to which kind of spiders you hate the most. i don't care if it's big or small, fast or stationary... i don't want it anywhere near me.

and the WORST thing ever: unknowingly walking into a disgusting spider web that you had no idea was there. so many awful memories of walking into webs while simply trying to get to the car or mailbox cry.gifno.gif

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
