    I was driving one day and a nasty brown one crawled up my passenger side window and onto the roof. I was freaking out so bad. I pulled into the nearest parking lot, pulled out a piece of paper and killed it. I'm absolutely TERRIFIED of these things so I know how scary it can be.

    I've run out of the shower naked on a few occasions because there was a spider on my ceiling. I always check for that now because I don't want one to drop on me when I'm naked!

      Reminds me of the time i left the windows open in the e32 in summer once. As i was driving back on the freeway, a fucking huge arse hornet/wasp/thing starts casually crawling above me on the roof. Walked all the way down the windscreen, over the dash, down the center console and onto the fucking arm rest. So i pulled my wallet out and whacked it. The fucker was still alive, it crawled over to the passenger seat and i whacked the bastard again, still alive. After i threw my wallet at it, fucking coins and shit went flying everywhere (this was cruising at 100km/h on a busy freeway) it was still alive and it crawled behind under the windscreen and the dash, so i cranked the fan on full and it went flying into the backseat, so i stopped, got out, and proceeded to whack the shit out of it. Ended up using a screwdriver to kill it! People looked at me funny...

      Note to all - They're fucking tough little bastards.

      Ps. Spiders are cool and harmless, harden the fuck up :)

        I hear you there on those damn things... The japanese hornet is what I fear the most of anydamn insect out there.... The TVA autority got the bright idea to bring them in my area to feed on the japanese beatle problem we were having years ago and now we have these damn things everywhere and let me tell you they are mean as shit..... Thankfully I have not been stung by one yet and do not plan on it either.... Here is a link for them " known as the hornets from hell " http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...ntHornets.html


        This is the hornet I am talking about.. Now you do not want one of these in your car with you for sure... read the article at above link to find out more about them...

          Wow. Well then. Someone's already had a crash due to spider agression. When will the cycle of pain end?

          I need to keep a flyswatter on me so I can flatten from a distance. That and those little traps are freakin awesome BUT they're made to attract them. And pardon the angry talk but FUCK THAT.

          That--and no, I would not shoot a spider. With my luck one of these days a lil fucker will crawl under my dust shield and just as i take it off it latches on to my face and humps me with whatever it is that it humps with.

                Haha, it's funny this thread should come up now. I just had a battle with a spider.

                That big fucker started out on the windshield, crawled under the hood, and then popped into the passenger side of the cabin somehow. He dropped down into the passenger door pocket. Soon enough he climbed out, so I whacked him with a water bottle and he fell back in. I thought he might be dead, but a few miles I glanced over and he was sitting on the edge looking at me. I wailed him with the water bottle again, and he fell to the floor where I couldn't see him. When I got to where I was going I confirmed my kill.

                    I'm absolutley serious. He was on his way to college, moving away from home, and had everything packed up in his Subaru Outback. He's scared shitless of spiders like me, and when it dropped in his face, he panicked and went straight off the road. The wreck was really bad, when his TV hit him in the back, it fucked him up bad. He had to have something like 7 surgeries, and it's still fucked up.

                      i feeel sorry for your friend mr anderson.

                      however all the other spider stories are funny as shyt!. im also a little scared of spiders. but in VA we only have spiders that are bitches. i doubt anyone in my neighborhood as even seen a spider bigger than a nickel.

                      but i got in a fight with a horse fly. i dont think thats what there really called but thats what we call them at the pool. im crusin into the pool parking lot, windows down sunroof open. and the rear windows flared open. i parked and as soon i get that last inch of the sunroof to crank close, that fucker flies in. (mind you that we came deep as shyt to the pool four 5'10 guys) in my little e30. and our girlfriends in another car. all i can say is no one thought to open the doors for atleast 5 minutes of swatting at that bitch. ( BTW it was harmless) no one knew that but the girls.

                        Ive always been pretty partial to shotguns personally. I hate the little fuckers...i hate them even more since a brown recluse got me a couple years ago.

                            It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                              we have them here in TN. !! The Tennessee Valley Autority(TVA) who controls all water ways and nuke plants brought them in to control all the pine trees being eaten by the japanese beatles a few years back. As a matter a fact I killed one sometime ago and jarred it until I could find out what the hell it was and this is what it was too.... and not shit they are about the size of a humming bird and can easily hear them flying from about 40-50 feet away too...... AND VERY AGGRESSIVE !!!!! and no thats not my hand in that picture but rather a picture a got from the net. I would never get that close to one alive ever

                                Huge spider at work today, I think it crawled out of a customers car when I brought it down. Saw it trying to run across the floor towards behind my bench, without thinking I quickly whipped out the spray bottle of Wheel Acid I had been using the night before and shot that mofo 9 times. Needless to say, he didn't get far after that. That stuff (diluted) will eat through a pop can within a few hours. :D
