Today, I was in science class studying dead insects for biology. After packing away the jars, I noticed a red-back spider on the bench. Thinking it was missing from a jar, I picked it up. It wasn't missing. It was alive. 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, when I woke up, I noticed something crawling on my bed. A white faced wasp was dragging the corpse of a rather large spider. I'm not sure what I was more disturbed about; the fact that the wasp was dragging something twice its size, or that these bugs even live in my house. FML

Today, while babysitting my nephew, I was looking through a bin of toys, and I saw a fake spider. I picked it up to do a prank with. It wasn't fake. FML

Today, I was reaching into the floor vent in my toddler's room to retrieve some toys she'd dropped. What I found instead was a clump of large dead spiders. FML

Today, I was absentmindedly playing with a piece of lint. When I looked at it, I realized that I had been rolling and squeezing a dead spider in my fingers for about five minutes. FML

Today, I was taking a final exam and I reached into my pocket to get out a pencil. I felt this thing in my pocket so I got it out and put it on the desk. At first I thought it was a leaf but then it started kicking and trying to run around. It was a cockroach. It had been living in my pocket. FML

Today, while bringing boxes up from the basement, I noticed a few spider egg sacs had stuck to my shirt. As I desperately tried to remove them, they hatched. FML

Also this is Australia. AKA the Land of Everything Trying To Kill You. I assume the spider is venomous.

trust this to be a girl. did it hurt you? bite you? harm you in any type of way? given the amour of info in this post, no. and for all those people who say red backs are highly poisonous and deadly, get you facts right, they do have poison but usually a fully grown human can survive a bit with no external medication or treatment, and depending on you immune system, there may not even be swelling larger than a mosquito bite...

Did it pick you up and throw you against a book case?

Arachnophobia is something that can affect someone with even the thought of a spider. I have spasms if I even think about one, because I am very arachnophobic.

Are redback spiders poisonous?

only if you're immune system is compromised(meaning you are sick) you are a child or you are elderly. it's just extremely painful if you are healthy.

Oh gosh, a redback. I'd be freaking out so badly, we used to get them all the time around our pool and my dad would be terrified. Be grateful it wasn't a funnelweb?
