I just killed a huge spider that was peeking at me going to the bathroom. Don’t you hate that..when you’re helpless on the toilet and a spider comes crawling up to you or on the wall next to you? And you can’t just kill it right away cuz if it gets away, you’re still stuck on the can! Then they disappear and it’s game over for the toilet crusader!
Lucky this one didn’t disappear on me. I finished my business and I got up and sprayed it with the bug spray till it was blinded and fell to the floor. Then I quickly dispatched him with a tissue.
I felt like the hero of the hour, like I was doing gods work.
But also in that instance when I flushed him down the drain I felt an overwhelming sense of sympathy and regret for his short lived little life. I thought about what if the rolls were reversed, and I was the spider. I started to question myself.. “Is it wrong?” “Am I wrong?”. “Am I the devil?” I mean…I was just taking a crap! 😐 I swear I didn’t ask for this. But now I fear retaliation in my sleep!! I’m sure that spider had connections.
Sometimes I wonder if the spider could see it coming, if he knew he was going to die. What would the spider do to prepare himself for the end if I’d given him a little bit more time to think about his demise? Would he have enjoyed one last sunrise? Would he have tried to contact loved ones, or maybe made one last piece of artwork with his webbing? What if he was a spider with great honor and integrity? Ugh..I’m such an asshole!! 😕
Yes it’s cruel to take a life..no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. And in a way..it’s frustrating I can’t do my manly duties around this house without feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders! 🙁 *flush*

Poor spider. 🙁 It had to be done, though. Spiders are good because they eat the mosquitoes, which are the real evil, but they are quite creepy looking. So sometimes they must get flushed.
I saw this video on youtube a while back of a mother wolf spider that some guy had found on his porch. He shot the video at night and when he zoomed in on the spider, you could see ten-thousand glittering jewel specks all over the spider’s body. The guy couldn’t figure out what it was – he was going on about bioluminescence or something, and then he realized what it was – baby spiders! So he sprayed them with bug spray. I thought that was a tragic video.
Ahhh!!! There all over me!!! 😫
lol that’s how it feels after reading that!!

Centipedes also eat other pesky bugs ….so I don’t mind them…..I don’t like spiders but I will leave them alone if they keep their distance and comply with the restraining order I have on them o_O ….but tarantulas are where the sheer terror comes in….you couldn’t pay me to hold one they are too intimidating…..
@clever that was funny lol
Cool post RT. I have an ugly history with the insect world. For years I would kill them as if it’s my God-appointed duty or something. I suppose through the brainwashing of society and my parents and whatnot, I was taught to kill every insect.
Then one day I had a revelation like you’re talking about. A huge spider landed in my living room and I charged at her with a bottle. She ran for a while, then (I’m not making this up) she just stopped as if she decided to try another approach, slowly came towards me in a very calm and gentle way as if to say, “I’m your friend you nincompoop”
I slaughtered her into a million pieces and wiped the grease on the trashcan. Immediately I felt like such a shit. I haven’t killed a single insect since, and I’ve rescued hundreds. That was 15 years ago. But may I still rot in hell for my crimes.
@PainNlife- I use to work in a pet shop so I’ve held every kind of crawling critter. They are scary at first but you can get use to them. Scorpions are crazy strong and they feel crazy too!
@cyanidsofmarch- I know what you mean! I’ve seen some HUGE spiders in my home before.. So fucking creepy knowing they are walking around the house at night. lol
