LMAO *wipes tears*
I don't even have the nerve to swat at one, lol. That's gettin' too close. One time one of those big ol' wolf spiders got into my living room - you know, the ones that are as big around as a 50-cent piece, can outrun ya, and you can see daylight under them? Anyway, I screamed and jumped up on my breakfast bar and STAYED there, called my PREGNANT daughter-in-law to come kill it because nobody else was available, and I never took my eyes off it. It had covered 5 miles in my living room and I never took my eyes off it, lol. Oh, and I have 270 degree peripheral vision when it comes to spiders - I can see them approach from the rear quarter.
Anyone who says they killed a spider for me has to show me the carcass before I believe it's dead.
I did have to kill a spider myself one time. It was in the corner of my bathroom behind the toilet all settled in and not going anywhere - and I
knew I was gonna have to eventually use the bathroom... No way I was gonna pull my pants down with my back to a spider... anyway, I took a can of hairspray and my cigarette lighter and I torched it with a big flame from about 2 feet away, lmao. I was so proud.
