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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

i had never seen a black widow before i moved to SC... but as soon as i saw one, i knew what it was... it's not that hard to recognize a black widow the first time... however, i am sorry that you're dog died...

I have a hard time believing this since death as a result to black widow bites are extremely rare. If you're dog was very young or very sick, then maybe...and you should have immediately taken the dog to the vet at the fist symptom of something being wrong. And if that was the case, then you had no business putting the animal at risk when you could have easily flushed the spider down the drain or killed it with a shoe. Even if this OP didn't know that it was a black widow, I find it useful to treat all spiders as a potential risk and dispose of them all the same way.

The dog is braver than you. Maybe dumber, but braver. I feel sorry for the dog. D; I hope you now give a big check to the government to create an organization that protects the dogs against black widows.

And if the dog found the spider first, it'd still be dead. OP, use my method: cover the spider with a bowl, boil water, uncover and pour! They shrivel up and die. It's my most effective method, as hammers tend to leave holes..

You're a ******* idiot. Turn the water on, you dumbass. YOU killed your dog, not the spider. This post should've read "Today, I killed my dog with a black widow because I have no ******* brain. FML"
