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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow. This is why you run water when the spider is in the bathtub. Poor dog.

I live in the UK, but I would recognise a black widow if I saw one, they're one of the most well known spiders out there. I too find it hard to believe you would have never come across at least a picture of one (especially living somewhere where they turn up in your bathroom). Even if you don't know what kind it is, their distinctive look should be enough of a warning. I feel sorry for the dog, but you are an idiot.

lol @ #36 I guess it might make me a terrible person, but as a pet owner, hearing about people who have recklessly and thoughtlessly laid waste to their pets makes it seem to me that it *should have* been them that went for the spider, and gone down for the count. Imho, anyway.

#35 It could have been a male black widow. Meaning it would not have had the red spot on its abdomen.

I wish I knew who you were so that I could report you.

Wow, a lot of the people on here are pretty callous. Maybe the person posting this didn't know what a black widow looked like (depending upon the subspecies, there may not have been red markings on it's back, and if it was a North American species and the poster saw it from the top, the red hourglass clearly wouldn't be seen. If they're an arachnophobe then they probably didn't look at the spider too closely at all). Also, my dog LOVES to kill/eat bugs and spiders of all sorts (he treats it like a game), so I usually don't think twice about calling him to get rid of creepy-crawlies for me, provided I know what they are (also, venomous insects that can kill are very rare were I live). So, all in all, if this post is indeed true, I feel very bad for both the dog and the OP. :(

#48: But, really, you said it in your own post. "...so I usually don't think twice about calling him to get rid of creepy-crawlies for me, provided I know what they are." Provided you know what they are. I rest my case? =]
