Animals: Freakout

Freakout

By emmey - 23/07/2009 19:43 - United States

Today, while showering at my boyfriend's house early this morning, I saw a huge black spider on the wall. I'm allergic to spiders, so in my disorientation I ran out of the shower screaming, slipped, sprained my wrist, and bruised my tailbone. Turns out the spider was a clump of hair. My hair. FML

Bath time [GONE WRONG][CREEPYPASTA]

Today, I was quietly having a bath when I felt something fall onto my shoulder blade. I glanced over my shoulder and saw what I thought were huge black spider legs. I screamed, completely hysterical, and I threw myself violently against a wall. It was my hair. FML

Monster in my bathroom

Today, I saw a big, black spider on the floor of my bathroom. I promptly jumped up on the toilet seat, slipped off, and slammed my head against the wall. The best part? It was a tuft of my hair. FML

Today, while taking a shower, a spider fell from the ceiling onto my foot. I took down my shower head to wash it down the drain, and in the process, got soap in my eye and rammed my head into the wall. FML

Today, while hiking, I walked face first into a spider web. Freaking out, I shook my hair out in case there was a spider. Later on in the day the spider fell from my hair into my food. FML

Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as I'm taking off my undies, something crushed and black fell out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML

He was just chillin'

Today, I was taking a shower when I noticed the huge spider above my head. Now, being the smart person I am, I sprayed the water up at it, causing it to fall. Right on my face. FML

Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML

Today, I was relaxing in bed with an arm kind of behind my head, when I noticed a huge spider resting on my armpit. My sister said my screaming sounded like a "witch being burned to death" for all of 5 seconds before I realized the "spider" was just my armpit hair. FML

Today, with water in my eyes, I stepped out of the shower and rubbed my face with a towel. When I looked in the mirror, I realized there had been a giant spider on the towel. Its guts and legs were smeared all over my face. FML

Today, a spider crawled across my arm. After a quick dance in a fit of panic, I managed to scramble onto my bed. I thought I would stand up to see if I could spot the spider and maybe kill it. I was then promptly knocked unconscious by my ceiling fan. FML

how can you be allergic to spiders?

Actually, you can be. I'm allergic to just about any type of insect/bug bite/sting. Spiders/mosquitoes/bees, etc. I'll swell up about 2-3x more than a "normal" person would, and the swelling will last for up to two weeks. First time I was bit by a horse fly, I was taken to a hospital.

Just so you all know it IS possible to have an allergy to spider bites. If you've ever been bitten by one, that's why the bite will puff up and turn red. It works similar to a bee sting.

Because it's impossible to be allergic to all spiders. Most aren't poisonous, and the ones that are, their venoms are different.

LOL, but that isn't an allergy. Bee stings puff up and turn red, even if you're not allergic to them. But if you are allergic, your reaction is a hell of a lot worse.

you can be allergic to spiders. I don't think she's gonna get close enough to see if she's allergic to that one, or because she's allergic she is also scared of spiders.

I'm sure if OP was allergic to a certain type of spider's bite, she wouldn't bother to check which one it was.. Essentially making it anachrophobia either way.

So I don't know whether it is or isn't possible to be allergic to spiders. My thing is, people who are allergic to things that can bite need to learn how to not freak out. Like seriously, back away slowly. It's hard to do, but trust me, it's possible. I do it. Because if it's something like a bee, for example, you freaking out and running away flailing has the potential to just piss it off and make it more likely for it to attack. Unless OP actually has a PHOBIA of spiders, as others have mentioned, then I'd understand the irrational reaction.
