This is messed up...

**slayer** · 08-24-2009 04:59 AM

Right so, I went with my dad and his friend to my grandma's house to have some hamburgers and hotdogs. They were really good.

My dad's friend pointed out that there were these 3 spiders against the house (we were eating outside). I wasn't too freaked out because I was quite a ways away from them. She said they were called Garden Spiders.

Didn't really care to know that. Well, what freaked me out is that she went right up to them and started poking their webs. I was like "OMFG WTF ARE YOU DOING?!" She said that when she was little she would throw grasshoppers at them and watch the spiders spin them in their webs. Then my dad and grandpa were like "Yeah I used to do taht all the time!" and again, I was like "WTF THATS MESSED UP!"

She said that sometimes if you touch their webs or whatever they'll vibrate so fast that you can barely see them. Again, I didn't care or want to know this. Everyone also happened to point out that there were 2 spider sacks on the side of the house next to the 3 spiders.

After awhile they decided to catch a couple of grasshoppers and put them in the spider webs. I can't believe how close they were getting to them. They said that they don't harm humans, but still, a spider is a spider to me and they're all freaking creatures...

So they caught a few and told me to come look at what they do to them. I was like "No, I'm good right here." But they kept insisting, so I got up and stood back a ways away from everyone (I'm not getting anywhere near those things...) and so they put a couple in their webs and I had to watch as they sped toward them and spun them in their webs.

Now, my dad knows that I have a terrible fear of spiders, but he kept asking me if I wanted to catch a grasshopper with him. He was only joking of course.

But really, talk about scarring of the mind.

Also, NO PICTURES! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT POST ANY PICTURES! I WILL HAVE THEM REMOVED!

If you MUST post a picture of a spider, then put it in a spoiler tag.

Spiders<3

Is there anything about them especially that creeps you out?
Do any other bugs make you scared as much as spiders?
Are you just scared of how they look? Or how they feel? Or if they might bite you?

Tell me about it, Jiles

**slayer** · 08-24-2009 05:13 AM

Where do I start?

The shape of their body is freaky enough. Those hidious legs they have and the way they move about. The way they can just come down from a ceiling from a web or whatever right ontop of you is freaky.

Those eyes they have a freaky aswell...

I am scared of other bugs like wasps and hornets, but spiders make my heart race with fear...

Slayer, considering you didn't run away screaming or anything, I think you can probably overcome some of this fear. :]

I second that.

**Mes Tarrant** · 08-24-2009 03:57 PM

Wow, that spider swarm pic is... nightmarish.

**Adam** · 08-24-2009 04:25 PM

HA. They scoffed at me when I tried to put the lyric "a flock of spiders" into one of my songs. But I see clearly a flock of spiders here. Who's laughing NOW?

Reading that sent shivers down my spine. I don't like this thread.

i hope you've learned from this experience that whenever middle-aged people decide to do something like catch grasshoppers it's time to gtfo.

**Black_Eagle** · 08-25-2009 02:08 AM

The only reason I kill spiders is because I don't know how to identify poisonous ones and they come too close. Otherwise I just let them live and do whatever. After all, spiders devour the flesh of real pests.

**Michael** · 08-25-2009 02:12 AM

Haha, I used to do that as a kid also. I don't know why you think it's messed up, and I'm surprised you never did it. I guess generations now days were too busy with their video games and catgirls. (which imo is way more messed up than your story)

What IS weird, is how your old parents were doing this at their age.

Or maybe some of us aren't interested in the feeding habits of arachnids.

Dam nature, you scary

**CoLd BlooDed** · 08-26-2009 09:38 PM

Lmao, that video is incredible. I especially like the warcry... HAHAHA.

Also, there's a big wood spider behind our hottub, one of the biggest I've ever seen (at least an inch and a half) and I've been feeding it ants and wasps and flies. Gotta get some fuckin' meat on its bones.
