Is this for real? Seriously, is this for fuckin' real?
Oh man. I would be petrified to come upon that. Not kidding. I would be paralyzed with fear, a hot mess sobbing like a 2 yr. old. I can't adequately express just how much that spider horrifies me.

Yeah. Poor old Huntsman spider. Non-venomous, common occurring. When I lived in the bush, we got them in the homestead all the time. My brother and I used to pick them up and have races with them.

They do look a bit fun. As long as they don't bite.

If you're gentle, they won't usually even attempt to bite you. If you keep them on the flat part of your hand, they'd find it hard to bite you if they tried. Did have one bite me on the end of a loiter finger once. It didn't draw blood.

I'd have to burn the house down. It's the only option.

If I find spiders in the house or my car I just pick them up and put them outside, I think they're cute actually. Except for that one I saw with wings that one time, that was even too much for me.

They don't scare the shit out of me like snakes or rats. I don't know why, they just don't. I guess maybe because they seem to mind their own business whereas snakes and rats go off the hizzy and come towards you without even provoking them.

Huntsmen bring out the cray cray in us women. You should see them move, they move fast, they look larger than they are, they have eyes, the works. I get a broom and try to squash it and if I miss I feel like I was chased once. Scream? I hollered like a banshee.

What is the point of squashing the poor mother fucker? It's gross and you have to clean it up. Why not just let it climb on the broom and put the broom outside until it goes away? That's why they don't like you and want to kill you in your sleep.

Do they try to come inside when the weather turns colder? What do you do when you come across one?

Waking up with a hair on your face would be enough to bring out the cray cray in you, Loosey Loo.

You don't see spiders as much when it is colder, it's in the summer the buggers turn up. Sally asked why squash it, when it is on the ceiling and it could chase you and fall on your head, that's why. Although, I prefer to find a male to do the job, just get it out of here already. I used to go and get my next door neighbour to sort it when I lived in the hotter climate.

Quit being such a bitch Aussie, they don't want to interact with you anymore than you want to fuck with them ( well never mind because you want to smash them) and then they're going to haunt your dreams forever.
