Today, my roommate thought it would be a good idea to show me his huge new tarantula despite knowing that I have extremely severe arachnophobia. I ended up killing it with a book and apparently now owe him $500. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my girlfriend bought me a pet tarantula. I now have one of my biggest fears crawling around my house. 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 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, 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
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 went to see a therapist for help with my severe fear of spiders. The therapist held a big spider in a box inches away from my face. I ran to the back of the room and asked him why. He responded with, "Aren't therapists supposed to help you face your fears?" I'm paying $150 an hour. FML
Today, as part of our prank war, my girlfriend found a hairy tarantula picture and stuck it on the wall. I hadn't yet told her I'm arachnophobic, and when I saw it I passed out and hit my head hard enough to need an ambulance. She decided she's won the war and I don't get a say in the matter. FML
Today, I finally gave in and agreed to try holding my girlfriend's pet tarantula. The moment I did, it bit me. According to her she’s had him 4 years and he’s never so much as nipped her, never mind a full bite. Lucky me. My hand is twice the normal size and I can feel my heartbeat in it. FML
Today, my girlfriend, KNOWING I have severe arachnophobia, changed the wallpapers on my phone and tablet to pictures of tarantulas, all because she's mad at me. And she won't change it back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Technically the Origin of the Species was the killing book. Survival of the fittest and all that

thank you so very much for telling us this information about your self. now get the **** outta here and stop sleeping with spiders before you get an STD. (:
_streets_ 19
Oh you're so very welcome, I thought it would be very beneficial for everyone if they new this little piece of information about myself. And I know it's a problem, but sleeping around with them is a little fetish of mine. Oh and by the way, if I may correct you, they're called STI's.

once again, I thank you for telling us more. you sound like you have so many friends. may I ask you, what the **** is an STI? Stupid Trampy Ingrate, cause that's all I'm getting from you. (:

that is so very interesting! you might be the saddest person I've ever met. correction, she's not the moron, you are; and might I add that I have been trying to get you the **** out since my first comment? moron. (:

Wow, Tom, I do believe you are, most certainly, the moron of this argument, and your arguments were based on name calling, which is not acceptable evidence to prove your point, and no actual evidence to show that he was a moron in any way. Your first comment was offensive and useless, so therefore pointless to post in the first place.
_streets_ 19
The saddest person you have ever met? Ha, that's funny, I was using sarcasm in almost everyone of my comments, but that makes me a moron? Maybe you should just stop being an annoying little twat and stop commenting, your comments are a waste of space.

Wait! That was sarcasm? Sure fooled me. >.>

I would do the same thing! make you pay that is. don't be such a wuss. if you passed somebody on the street when walking your dog can they kill it because theyr afraid of dogs?

I agree. Just becouse you fear it doens't mean you should kill it, that's sick

As people have been saying, it's a reaction. I am terrified of bees and if I can will try to kill it right away, but it is hard with them being tiny demons that can fly. My mom is terrified of spiders and if I ever have a spider, especially a tarantula, I would never show it to her. I know she would kill it. OP reacted like many arachnophobics would. Something to also think about it if the guy thought it would be funny to see OP freak out he might have trapped OP.

nice to know that OPs first reaction when they're scared is to kill it.

That's called fight or flight. Most humans can have that response when suddenly faced with their fears.
