Today, while showering at my boyfriend's house early this morning, I saw a huge black spider on the wall. I'm allergic to spiders, so in my disorientation I ran out of the shower screaming, slipped, sprained my wrist, and bruised my tailbone. Turns out the spider was a clump of hair. My hair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, while taking a shower, a spider fell from the ceiling onto my foot. I took down my shower head to wash it down the drain, and in the process, got soap in my eye and rammed my head into the wall. FML
Today, while hiking, I walked face first into a spider web. Freaking out, I shook my hair out in case there was a spider. Later on in the day the spider fell from my hair into my food. 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, I was taking a shower when I noticed the huge spider above my head. Now, being the smart person I am, I sprayed the water up at it, causing it to fall. Right on my face. 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 was relaxing in bed with an arm kind of behind my head, when I noticed a huge spider resting on my armpit. My sister said my screaming sounded like a "witch being burned to death" for all of 5 seconds before I realized the "spider" was just my armpit hair. FML
Today, with water in my eyes, I stepped out of the shower and rubbed my face with a towel. When I looked in the mirror, I realized there had been a giant spider on the towel. Its guts and legs were smeared all over my face. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

how can you be allergic to spiders?
Shadic 0
Actually, you can be. I'm allergic to just about any type of insect/bug bite/sting. Spiders/mosquitoes/bees, etc. I'll swell up about 2-3x more than a "normal" person would, and the swelling will last for up to two weeks. First time I was bit by a horse fly, I was taken to a hospital.

so when you see a spider you have an allergic reaction that makes you run away like a lunatic and sprain your wrist? I think you can get a cream for that.

This would be funny if it hadn't already been posted on this site in one way or the other a hundred times...

actually; you CAN be allergic to spiders. And maybe she didn't over react since her allergic reaction could have been life threatening.

Wow. I'm sorry you're allergic to spiders, but that does not justify your reaction. Spiders DO NOT attack humans. If you see a spider, just leave it alone. In fact, even if there were a spider, you could have safely finished your shower, as long as you were careful not to bother it. YDI for freaking out over nothing. Besides, most spiders are too small to break human skin with a bite. Considering most cases of "spider bite" are actually a misdiagnosis, I'd be surprised if you were actually allergic to spiders.

I stick my hair to the wall when I'm showering and it comes out so that it doesn't go down the drain and clog it. Then when I'm done, I take it off and put it in the trash. The people you share the shower with would be grateful if you did that too.

Who is alergic to spiders?
Shadic 0
I am, at least their bites. Same with mosquito bites, bee stings, flea bites, etc. I swell up 2-3x more than the average person, and it lasts longer.

YDI for being a wuss. YDI for being an idiot. YDI for having a clump of hair like that in HIS shower.

Wow, it amuses me how idiotic some people are. you can be allergic to practically anything. Heck, people can be allergic to water.

up until the clump of hair part I was going to agree... that totally turned it into a ydi.

You arent allergic to spiders, maybe the venom of one or two. You're a dumb bitch.
