There are very few things that I actively dislike. Spiders are very high up on that very short list. Spiders, to me, will induce one of two responses. One involves the sole of my boot, the other a rolled up magazine.
This evening I saw one of the largest (house) spiders that I have ever seen. As an indication to just how big this spider was I had to hit it with the rolled up magazine SEVEN TIMES before it died. Seven!!! Most spiders just go squish and that's the end of them, but not this baby. I was half expecting it to be just a ruse and while I was off getting the hoover for it to get up and sneak away.
Thankfully the corpse was still there and the hoover delt with it.
Just.
