Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a black widow, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table, and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML
Today, I tried to have a relaxing soak in the tub. The giant wolf spider that was already in the tub didn't like me trying to set it free outside. It ran right across my feet and back into my house when I dumped it out of a cup outside. I screamed like a little girl. FML
Today, I saw a huge wolf spider in my room. It ran off and hid before I could kill it, but after two hours looking for it then giving up, I finally found it, with my foot, as I put on my shoes. 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
Today, we found a tarantula type spider in our shed so big it could only have been someone’s escaped pet. This thing was so big, even my husband said, "NOPE!" In the end, we used our neighbour's crossbow to kill, it because I think it grew that big by eating dogs and small horses. 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 found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML
Today, I asked my husband to deal with the very large spider in our kitchen. Rather than a newspaper or a slipper, he went after it with an aerosol can and a lighter. The spider is now dead, but so are the wall and cupboards in my kitchen. FML
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, I spotted a huge spider in my bedroom. I freaked out at first, but I managed to confront my arachnophobia and killed it with a book. I was ecstatic and went to tell my boyfriend. By the time I returned to my room, the "dead" spider had vanished. Now I'm too scared to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Although I'm an arachnophobic too, I wouldn't send my dog(if I had one) after a spider. I ENJOY killing the buggers. Cut the person some slack, he/she was probably too freaked out to realize what type of spider it was & plus I'm sure they already feel crappy because their dog died. R.I.P. Doggie. Next time drown it with water AND add bleach. Insta-death. :)

Oh, that's awful! But I probably would have done the same, although... a black widow... I'd probably run out of the house screaming, but first locking the door I found the spider in so it couldn't follow me. xD

ouch... omg. I'm so sorry and all you people who think that it was a bad thing to get her dog... alot of people are terrified of unknown thing crawling around through your houses. but how could you not see it... it IS preety distinctive.

That's sad. I just don't understand how you didn't know it was a black widow, though. They have a red hourglass on their black bodies. It's pretty distinctive, having seen [and caught] one before. Plus, I remember learning about them in elementary. Though, just to let you know, you probably wouldn't have died if it bit you. Yes, it is very poisonous and CAN kill you. But, with the anti-venom available at most hospitals and the size of your body in comparison to the amount of poison, you would have had enough time to get help. However, your dog is smaller in size. So his body couldn't handle the poison. And I won't comment on whether it was smart or not to get your dog to kill it. Everyone's different in how they respond to things they're afraid of. Btw, for future reference, avoid brown spiders with violins on their bellies. Those are brown recluses, and quite poisonous as well.

This is a real FML. Poor you and your dog. Don't you know what black widows look like? They are black with a red hourglass on them. But you better get your house checked, those things are lethal. What was it doing in your tub?
