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

    • well you can add a GPU for around $500, that's still around the price of Steam Machine but overall significantly better in performance.
