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 don't think you rubbed your hands together and decided to kil your dog. what if you had a sig.other kill it and it turned out that way? what if you said 'eff it' and got in anyway? It was pure bad luck, if you don't like spiders you don't look closely. I'm so sorry :-( Definitely, next time just drown the damned thing. Or drop a bible on it, as I'm prone to do to spiders.

SMART. Kill the spider yourself!! Seriously?! T_T poor dog but that also sucks for you because you're out a dog. Hope it didn't bite you and you didn't know O.o

Sorry but that is very dumb of you. A black widow is pretty easy to identify because of the huge butt and the red cross on it. If you live in a place where there are poisonous spiders then never let your dog kill it. Your poor puppy :(

I'm very sorry about your dog, but who uses a dog to kill a spider?!?!?

Even if you didn't know if it was a black widow, they're pretty nasty looking spiders so you'd probably notice that it's out of the ordinary. Sorry to hear about your dog, though. #25: You would not want to handle a deadly spider in anything that it could escape, including toilet paper. The spider could easily bite you through the paper.

Oooh, I tell a lie. Turns out black widows are known as redbacks down here. I'd never made the connection before now. And it's probably an urban legend, but I was always told that it was very difficult to drown a redback, so washing it down the drain wouldn't necessarily be the best course of action. But yeah, I stand by my original comment: bug spray is the way to go.

What is with you people???? Lots of people get their dogs to kill bugs, and it's not like people study spider books or something. I'm sorry for your loss. It wasn't your fault.
