Today, a tarantula joined my stuffed animal collection in its drawer. It, unfortunately, wasn't stuffed. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister told me she found my escaped tarantula and put it in a box on my bed. I never had a tarantula, and the box was empty when I checked. FML
Today, my girlfriend bought me a pet tarantula. I now have one of my biggest fears crawling around my house. FML
Today, I faced down the Godzilla of all spiders. I smashed the goddamned holy shit out of it. Trying to impress my cute new roommate, I scooped up the remains and showed him. It was his pet tarantula. 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, knowing that I have severe arachnophobia, my brother brought over his friend's tarantula. One hour later, the spider got loose. It's been 5 hours and I'm afraid to go to sleep. 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 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 woke up to find pieces of a dead spider stuck in my braces. FML
Today, I woke up and found a small leg of what used to belong to a spider on the corner of my mouth. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have seriously bad arachnophobia so if that were me I probably would've passed out from a massive panic attack and ended up in the hospital. I feel your pain, OP.

Even spiders want cuddle sometimes...

They are actually really timid creatures. At a science exhibit I got to hold one and kiss one. Cute furry little buggers. Although I understand how people find them creepy.

You kissed one?! You must not be afraid of them lol.

Actually, I was. A series of exposure therapy helped me overcome it, lol

I'm scared of some spiders, but not the big ones like tarantulas or the irresistably cute jumping spider. I'm a selective arachnaphobe.

Not a wolf spider?

Put it on craigslist: "Pet tarantula for free. Loves to cuddle. Must catch it yourself. Cardboard box for transport can be provided it needed."

See if you can make it go into a shoe box or something and put it outside, far away from your house.

Why do you have a stuffed animal collection?...
SPN_lover666 27
It doesn't say how old OP is. She could be a young teenager or she might just like collecting stuffed animals. I still have a stuffed animal collection and I am 24. You going to make fun of me for having them?

I think they're beautiful. I'd love a pet tarantula! My housemates won't let me have one
corky1992 33
Oh god! Where do you live to find a spider that big in your house??? I probably would have had a heart attack.
