Today, I had a panic attack when a huge spider ran over my hand. I screamed, wailed, and killed it with a shoe while shouting. Ten minutes later, police slammed on my door. My neighbor called them, saying it sounded like someone was being murdered. 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 got to experience the unadulterated horror of waking up to a spider crawling across my face. My screaming woke the neighbors. FML
Today, I was quietly having a bath when I felt something fall onto my shoulder blade. I glanced over my shoulder and saw what I thought were huge black spider legs. I screamed, completely hysterical, and I threw myself violently against a wall. It was my hair. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of 4 gunshots from downstairs. I screamed, hid under the bed in tears and called the cops. Turned out my boyfriend hadn't been murdered by a burglar like I thought - he'd found a tarantula in our living room and decided to feed it a face full of lead. FML
Today, a spider crawled across my arm. After a quick dance in a fit of panic, I managed to scramble onto my bed. I thought I would stand up to see if I could spot the spider and maybe kill it. I was then promptly knocked unconscious by my ceiling fan. FML
Today, I was washing my hands in the bathroom when I looked up and saw a spider on my cheek. Panicking, I slapped myself in the face as hard as I could to kill it. Turns out the spider was on the mirror. 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
Today, I saw a spider in my room. I got a piece of paper to try and put it outside. As I reached, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to smack where the spider was - my face. I fell on the floor disoriented. The spider got away. FML
Today, I was in the bathroom at a party when I noticed a spider the size of a golf ball on the toilet paper roll. I screamed, tripped over my own feet trying to flee, and fell right into the bathtub. Everyone at the party heard. FML
Today, I saw a spider in my kitchen. Freaked, but trying to be humane, I held out a piece of paper so it would climb on, and I would then put it outside. However, it jumped out of nowhere and landed on my face. My reaction was to whack at where the spider was - my face. I stumbled around, disoriented; the spider got away. FML

Technically someone WAS being murdered. Spiders have feelings too. ;_:

If you have not already, consider seeking psychological help for these things. If you have them often enough, it could cause some real problems. What would have happened if the spider had popped out when you were driving?

Phobias are actually a lot easier to get over than people think. The best process is to just start getting the brain to associate the object of fear with experiences where nothing bad happened, or even good things happening. I've known people with arachnophobia's as severe as OP's they managed to get over just with youtube videos and pictures of spiders. No expensive therapy needed.

Actually you if you find spiders in your house they made not survive if you let them go outside because they're "house spiders" and have evolved to living indoors. I learned this not to long ago and thought, "Even when I try to be nice I still fail". So if I find a spider in the tub or something I catch and release it in a different spot where I won't mind it being, lol.

Technically a murder did occur cuz a life was taken. The weapon was your shoe and you are the murderer. Arachnid VS Human.... I can see it now in the papers. Lmao That would be oddly interesting XD

Ohmygosh the exact same thing would have happened with me. I have an extreme phobia of spiders. FML it wasn't your choice to be attacked.
