Well, I did walk into the 10 o'clock shop (local store) and they said "you had a spider on you".Originally Posted by kalniel

Ah yes, the good old 'Tomato Spider' as they are known in our house - highly convincing they are too, EVEN WHEN you already know that's what they are, I've found.
N.B. Is it thanks to global warming that house spiders seem to be bigger earlier in the year now - time was you only got the statutory 3 great big ones indoors in the autumn. Not keen on them that size myself (thanks Madduck) but don't like to kill stuff either; cue use of shrimping net & get 'em out as quick as possible... despite having heard they just make their way back in.
Tomato spider, hehe, reminds me of one of my friends. His daughter at the time was about 1 and she spied the spider, went up to prod it expecting it to move, but it was just a tomato top. Poor thing she was ever so confused and kept prodding it then looking at us as if to say, "why doesn't it move?".

But why take that risk? One day, one of them might.
I recall stories of when Arachnaphobia was in the cinema, and someone took a box of spiders into the theatre and threw them about during the scary bits.
Like Anthony Hopkins, who used to enjoy going to The Silence Of the lambs in the cinema, and tapping the people in front of him on the shoulder half way through...
It's a definite risk, so I also advise stopping sitting on sofas in case they become self-aware and eat you!!
Spiders are so damn scary....i'm getting goosebumps thinking about them. EVIL i tell thee.

I'm not too bother by spiders either, but I wasn't too familiar with the wide variety of spiders in Australia.
'There's a spider in the toilet'
I go into the toilet and there is a spider on top of the toilet seat, about the size of a died pea- 'Do you want me to get rid of it?'
'Go for it, but it's not the one on the toilet I'm worried about it's the one on the side of the sink'
'Where on the sink ... holy s..' - one of these was blocking my exit Small spiders of Australia
