Suckiness, thy name is Andrew

I just went downstairs to take the bins out. I was careful pulling the bin into the corridoor as I know that this is the time of year when spiders start appearing and bins sit still for long enough to be a comfortable web-building spot.

I was still fairly horrified that when I lifted my hands up one of them went straight up the side of its web and into the lip that surrounds the top of the bin, right next to the handles.

There's no way I'm touching that bin tonight. Fortunately Erin's ok with taking them out.

It's funny, some days I can cope with them a fair amount, but the thought of putting my hands where it could crawl straight onto me makes me feel shaky.

Shudder - I completely understand. We (thankfully) don't have that problem, but the wretched things like to build webs very near our front door.

even the thought makes me vomitous.

I think it's cute when people are phobic of things that don't bother me. I think this is related to the sadistic tickling impulse. "Look, you convulse and stop breathing when I do this! Let me do it again! Look, a spider! Tee hee!"

Ahem. Sorry.

You are weird. But in a way that may other people are weird, I suppose.

I'm trying hard to think of any irrational phobias I have, but failing. I don't like making phonecalls, but it's not like you and spiders.

I hate spiders too....
