Today, my boss captured a huge spider and put it in a jar on the desk in our shop. He's named it Fluffy and is threatening to fire me if I harm it. I'm horribly arachnophobic and we share that desk. FML

Why do you hate spiders? Most of them are harmless and they kill mosquitoes and other bugs. They're quite helpful. Kidding. Seriously, **** spiders.

In this economy, you should be much more out-of-work-phobic, so sort your phobias out and deal with the little bug in the glass (and hope it doesn't escape, heh-heh-heh.) Or get some old lady to swallow it. I don't know why.

Kill the spider. When he comes back and ask where it is tell him you ate it, then tell him that your master made you do it... And he's next.

I love it. Consider this an excellent time to face your fears, OP. Become friends with the spider. Make it your companion. Fluffy will never judge you.

A while ago, my mom caught a huge daddy long leg and kept it in a jar for 2 weeks just to **** with me. We joke a lot like that, but that was too far haha.

Wow. Those things eat other spiders, mosquitoes, biting flies, and other unpleasant things. The kicker? They are incapable of biting a human, so they are harmless even though they are extremely poisonous

The. Cognitive reasoning behind being afraid of spiders is pointless. I am afraid of them and am totally aware that they are 1/100000 my size- and cant actually hurt me! It is an internal repulsion that is hard to break - I wouldn't work next to one unless my kids depended on it and I would look for another job- seriously

Oh... but they CAN hurt you! A Black Widow & a brown recluse are just two of the poisonous types. ;P"

Look up the Brazilian wandering spider, which is frequently found in shipments of bananas. It will change your life.

Phobias aren't usually rational by default. I respect spiders but if ones near me, especially a big one as op says, I'll become a mess of a panic attack and can't breathe and start crying. Can't help it and I've tried so hard to. :(

If your boss knows you are have this phobia and still does this, I really feel for you. Bad bosses are everywhere.

I'm sure she said nothing to her boss about her phobia. She is most likely just being passive aggressive.

If her boss knows and still does this, he's creating a hostile work environment. That's illegal.

People are real jerks when they don't share your fears. Get rid of it. If he does fire you sue for wrongful termination of employment.

In a jar, it will be dead soon anyway. Poor thing.
