Today, my house was the only house left that still had its Christmas lights up, so I decided to take them down. Almost done, my fingers brushed over a spiderweb. Startled, I jumped off the ladder and broke my shoulder. Oh, and the spider still managed to stay on my hand, giving me a panic attack. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, 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
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 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
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, 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, as I put on my pajamas, a large spider ran down my leg. After freaking out, killing it, and recomposing myself, I went to the bathroom. As I sat down to go to the toilet, I looked up to see hundreds of baby spiders hanging over my head. FML
Today, I was working on my new house and I was taking out a large cactus. While picking up the pieces to throw away, I noticed a spider on my forearm. Without thinking, I swiped at the spider with a piece of the cactus. I missed the spider, not my forearm. FML
Today, there was a huge spider on my ceiling, so I grabbed a shoe to deal with it. Just as I jumped up to smush it, my idiot brother flicked the light off. I missed the spider, but it didn't miss my face as the impact caused it to fall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Actually, spiders are pretty cool, they only bite people out of self defense. Also, there's this one spider (I believe the huntsman spider) that eats other spiders, and all it wants to do is chill. It is non-venomous, but tends to cause people to crash their cars, because they like to hide. Also, the spider with the deadliest venom is too small to bite you. That just shows you that they really aren't all that bad, people are just irrational.

if you took ur lights down when everyone else did, there wouldnt have time for them to make their webs. AND, spiders don't attack unless you do... all you had to do was brush it off or shake ur hand at most, not jump off! YDI!

That sucks. Spiders are the bane of my existence. They know I hate them, so they make it a point to nite me, not my husband. I don't think I'd have jumped off a ladder, but I would've had a mini-freakout nonetheless.

Next time, use your newly attained Spider-Man powers to prevent it from happening.

It's only a spider. It is a tiny fraction of your size and can't hurt you. That's why YDI

@47 black widow (red hourglass), that's about it. most other ones worth noting "just" cause tissue degeneration or hurt like a ************, but you won't die. http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html now you DO know. ALSO there are anti-venoms. i'd suggest working on your arachnophobia OP. if it's bad enough that you're risking an injury, get help.
