I understand Western society to a great extent but why this fear of spiders?
Our response is to pick it up in a cloth or paper and throw it outside the house(they are ignored almost completely in classes or offices). Or just avoid contact. They are more afraid of you than you are of them(unless its one of those giant Australian ones that do charge at humans, The Sydney Funnel Web).

Found a spider under a work table in the garage. Thing was the size of a half-dollar, and fucking CHARGED me.

That pistol is NOT big enough. I honestly considered napalm for a while there.
Size a fucking half-dollar!?



Also, who would give Erin a gun? Thats like through gasoline onto a fire.
tut tut, how rude. firing off a tank in a populated area

You can't explain phobias. Shit just scares people for no reason sometimes. For example, I'm actually quite fond of spiders but put me in a room with a big nasty roach and I will have a damn nervous breakdown and either run like hell or go hulk on the damn thing.

A man with a gun, preferably.

Never mind the hallucinations. Erin isn't exactly stable even without them, so yeah I too find it worrysome that anyone would allow her access to firearms.
ATF Form 4473 (completed whenever buying firearms from an FFL in the United States regardless of state), Item 11f. "Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (explaination) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution? YES/NO

I think Erin may have fibbed a little, lol ;)

A half dollar is nothing. Huntsman spiders get to be the size of your /hand/. I kill the things with airsoft guns, because bugspray just makes them mad, and trying to crush them with a broom/shoe usually winds up with them getting away, because they're fast little buggers. They don't have an instinct to run away from an airsoft gun -- there have been times where I've actually hit them non-lethally a couple of times before the killing blow without them running away, because the instinct seems to be to freeze in a case like that.

In case you want nightmares (or come from Australia, like these Spiders. We have Australian spiders in Florida, be afraid -- although not too afraid, since they're not poisonous)

I pick them up in my hands and put them outside. :| But then I do live in a country where they are not dangerous at all.
