I just flushed 2 spiders down the toilet

There are too many of them in my flat, they are having babies and frankly, are just taking the piss now.

@SquirrelGirl definitely keeping a copy of this to pass around to friends lmao

I actually like spiders

I used to be scared of spiders a long time ago but I eventually got over the fear, then moved into an trailer I was renting with a lot of spiders. Like a LOT

I had a room mate and we smoked weed and blew it on the spiders and talked nice to them as if they understood (her idea I think but the results blew my mind)

One day, there was a jumping spider and she was scared and asked me to kill it and I did (mistake), less than 24 hours later a spider bit me one time and that was the only time that I got bit by a spider despite sleeping in a place with possibly over 1000 spiders including under the trailer

What gets wilder, at some point we had a rat issue and asked the spiders to kill the rats...and there was a dead rat in the sink the very next morning...and they randomly popped up dead sometimes after that...

Could be a coincidence, but I'm thinking spiders are actually super smart...

@SquirrelGirl I have never understood arachnophobia! Spiders help keep other insect populations under control. As a physician I was asked to see several patients with spider bites, they ALL turned out to have a tick-realted illness, not spiderbites, or foreign bodies.
