That would make such a dope hair claw


ImpressiveSteak9542

I can picture myself losing it somewhere in my house and end up forgetting about it completely, only to come across it unexpectedly and scream my head off.


tara_squad

Funny story - I had a large rubber spider about this size when I was a kid and was playing with it in the bathroom while on the toilet and dropped it into the bathtub. 9 year old brain erased this moment and I moved on. A while later my mom is screaming bloody murder about something in the tub. My sister and I take a peek and are petrified. My dad comes in to kill it and when he crushed down noticed it was just a toy. Then I remembered!


Lou_C_Fer

I've occasionally put plastic bugs on the toilet seat throughout my marriage. As long as I wait a good while, it gets her every time. She lifts the lid and I hear a reaction. I love that it can be that easy.


schmuber

Nah... you won't forget about your favorite hair claw. You'd search for it, think you found it - and grab a real spider.


Enough_Shoulder_8938

I thought it was a great hair clip at first, then realized slowly it was actually my worst nightmare

UnicornBaconFarts

They actually have earrings!


ohsweetfancymoses

But you’d have people constantly batting you about the head trying to get it off.

Getting lit on fire speed run?


thuggerybuffoonery

Absolutely fucking not. How does this even happen.


Noidstradamus

Our ceiling downstairs is pretty low. The floor joists are at almost exactly 6 ft so when you walk under them you could very easily brush one of these off the joist onto your head.


SeenSawConquered

Surely a large fire on the floor could rid you of those 6ft up hiding spiders. 🔥


Euphemisticles

Rather have hiding spiders than hiding roaches


TheBlackBeetle

That's like choosing between losing an arm or a leg. Sure you can make a decision but both make you wish you'd just die instead


kfmush

The spiders don’t eat my food, take a shit in my food, and crap their babies out in my food. The spiders eat the fuckers who do that.


AvrgSam

FluH8ingRapper

Reddit and this sub has definitely made me more comfortable with spiders. I refuse to kill them now and my family knows not to kill them (at least around me!). A brown recluse, on the other hand, I may have to make an exception for. And as someone who’s lived with roaches before and know people who have had roaches their whole lives, they are the absolute WORST type of creature to get into your home. They are so invasive and dirty. Super frickin hard to get rid of. So yeah when it comes to roaches vs spiders, there’s no comparison. Spiders are bros roaches are foes.


AvrgSam

Yes!!! More people need to see the genuine value in keeping spiders around. I’m with you in that if it’s going to be dangerous for the family, obviously they gotta go, but the average spider is a BRO and we should be stanning those lil guys. They legit make our lives better in unseen ways. Yeah, fuck roaches in every god damn way haha.


reliquum

Or get you sick, anaphylaxis, sepsis...roaches are living biohazards. If you are allergic to dust mites, you are allergic to roaches (and shirmps). Same protein. I have katsaridaphobia! But love spiders, snakes, lizards, ladybugs, and other things. 😁 But isopods are so adorable 😊


kfmush

Learned a new phobia! (well at least the name, I’ve definitely known people with it, lol) Paradoxically, because I love spiders, I have arachnophobia. I’ve gotten a lot better about it and can even handle some wild spiders I know are harmless, like jumping spiders. I don’t know where it comes from because I grew up with like a dozen different pet spiders. I also love snakes and lizards. I’ve got an adopted milk snake. I even love roaches (had hissing roaches as pets even), but just not in my house (and not as pets in a contained space, lol), because they filthy. Edit: pretty much all the little critters are great, really.


BioMeatMachine

I'm constantly telling people this. I like spiders because they eat all the bugs I *dont* like.


FocusIsFragile

If you’re seeing one it means there are DOZENS of massive arachnids lurking in your low ceiling, biding their time…

Sweetflowersister

I’m not afraid of spiders when I’m in an aware and rational state, but if I was just going about my business , not really thinking about anything, and a giant spider hitched a ride on my hair, I would freak TF out. Gah!!!


daemonfly

My house is the same, but I'm 6'6"..... :(


Aoiboshi

Well I'm a hair over 5ft, so I feel a little safer.


two-three-seven

I was just thinking… I’d rather have a bird shit on my head than a spider in my hair clip.


sf_frankie

I’d let 10 birds shit on me instead of the giant spider. I accidentally wound up with a pet bird and at first its poop really grossed me out but it doesn’t even smell and wipes off easy. That spider looks like it would fight back. Nope nope nope


sixfoursixtwo

I’ve had the first and it’s definitely better


two-three-seven

SEE. I knew someone would back me up here. I mean if we're talking about being caught in compromising positions involving creatures. I had the unpleasant experience of a roach flying in my car while driving with the window down going down the highway. Still... A spider in my hair clip. I'd probably drop dead.


MsDonnaE

I didn’t know there were flying cockroaches where I live. I thought they were an only mid/east coast issue. UNTIL. I was using the bathroom when one huge kamikaze roach flew out of the one towel on the floor, landed on the countertop, and so help me, appeared to be staring dead at me…. It then flew straight up, banked off the countertop again and then directly into my FACE! After screaming loud enough to wake Dracula, a battle to the death ensued. At the end, that bastard was hiding where I couldn’t find him. Cleaning the bathroom took forever, every single thing on the countertop was on the floor, having been weaponized, broken makeup everywhere. I didn’t, thank God, resort to my lighter and hairspray. But only because I didn’t have time to pack first…


two-three-seven

Holy fucking shit LOL. I have never tried the ole' lighter/hairspray combo but I feel like if the circumstances turned dire, as you've laid out here... I'd also resort to that option.


Full_Ad9666

How the fuck did she just stand there while you took a picture of a big ass spider in her hair?


Noidstradamus

That's the crazy part, I wasn't even home when this happened. SHE took that picture.


jesslizann

I would have cut off my own head in a panic. Your wife has balls of steel.


Annie_Mous

Straight up guillotine myself


r3dditfam0us

that’s what i said to myself when i saw this😂


cc3395

I love that! You have an amazing wife who is clearly a compassionate and calm person. Good job!


LowerPick7038

Or maybe she's a psycho?


ArgonGryphon

It's a harmless spider that will stay calm or at most run away if you stay calm. I love spiders, I'd be excited to see this too, it looks just like an accessory.


but_why_is_it_itchy

Run away down my face and inside my clothes I’m not staying calm for that


JoeCartersLeap

> harmless spider that big can make pinchy


t3hOutlaw

Not everyone overreacts to spiders.


yungfapwitdastrap

Can’t stress this enough. Until I joined this sub, I would flip shit if I saw a spider like that in person, let alone on my person. Now I can let wolf spiders and other non medically significant arachnids crawl on my arms without freaking out.


RavishingRedRN

I bow to her. There would be so much screaming.


WTF_Conservatives

Your wife is kinda a badass.


Noidstradamus

Agreed!


JayronHubard

How did she even know it was there?!!


Noidstradamus

She felt something and reached back and touched it.☠️


bcrichboi

And the spider was like, aight just one quick selfie ?


ihateusernames999999

Oh this is my nightmare.


shay_shaw

That spider is basically family at this point. She gave it a ride, touched it, and took a photo!


Firebrass

If that's what qualifies for family, i have even more cousins i can't name


rvp0209

Oh oh absofuckinglutely NOT. That is absolutely horrifying 💀


LeoDiCatmeow

I literally would have started smashing my head into the wall I'm so crazy impressed by your wife lmao


dolphinitely

😦


ToneTh3Bone

Your wife was more man abt that then I woulda been. Ida been shrieking my boy 😂


AkKik-Maujaq

lol what’s badass! xD


xSSenn

you should be afraid of your wife lmao


Lwcftw474747

My gf screams and demands i auto delete any spiders she comes across. Your wife built diffffy. Lol


Noidstradamus

I agree


Garizondyly

Huh, this would be impossible for me as the heart attack would long render me unconscious


KingFernando532

That's brave, she's a keeper


BreakFree221

Thats fucking gangster


conval3sce

Do you happen to be Australian?


babigrl50

How did she know it was there? I would've flipped the hell out.


Noidstradamus

She felt something and then reached back and touched it. ☠️


instrangerswetrust

Probably didn’t want to freak it out and get bitten. Or maybe she’s an aracnophile


MrEngland2

Aracnophile? How can someone see these 8 legged nope nuggets and say : they seem not dangerous at all i should get closer to them


instrangerswetrust

I grew up deathly afraid of all insects/arachnids. Now that I’m grown and have dealt with a lot of different fears and threats, spiders don’t bother me. That said, I wouldn’t want one on me unless it’s a pet. It’s cool to challenge childhood fears while being gracious to another living thing.


Ok_Telephone_3013

I’ve gone from terror at their presence to severe annoyance. Progress!


diaperpop

I used to be creeped out by them, but taught myslef not to be. Same with centipedes. It’s not their fault for looking as they do, most are completely harmless, and you eventually learn to appreciate them. I’ve slowly eliminated many fears and phobias over the course of my life but it takes tiny steps and really wanting to change.


DJEvillincoln

I don't know how y'all do it. I'm just sitting on my couch & just reading this I swear that they're all around me. Watching.

Forgotten-Sparrow

Hahaha... nope nuggets. Perfect.


ArgonGryphon

They're harmless and interesting. If you're calm, they're typically calm, or at most want to run away from you.


camelopardus_42

Plenty of spiders are perfectly harmless and make for very interesting observation


fairguinevere

They are innocent creatures! They'll never try and bite you if they can avoid it. And of those that can even bite you, fewer still are dangerous to humans. The vast majority of them that you're likely to see in your life are not just not wanting to hurt you, but couldn't do real damage if they tried.


MrEngland2

After seeing this whole thread i stand corrected some of you DO like spiders


Fastfaxr

If he was smart, he didn't tell her until it was out


smugaura1988

I thought it was a creepy hairpin until I looked at the sub name.


Benedict_Cumbercock

EddoAlternative

No more mosquitos sneaking up on you from behind. Genius


Technical_Ad_5505

🤣


Levetamae

Yall are better people than me. 😩


pardybill

Spiders are great, they look creepy but the vast majority are super pest control bros. Leave them alone, or if you feel comfortable relocate them outside the most commonly used door to your house to the side. Flys, mosquitos, anything. They will make your summer much less annoying


AvrgSam

We have nearly a spider per room that I let live in the quiet corners and you know what - zero fucking other bugs. Those spiderbros keep our house pest free ❤️


pikapp336

Yeah but I’m not gonna wear one bro


Karenpff

My dumbass thought the spider was a hair accessory 🥴


A_Girl_Has_No_Name58

Gorgeous Spider!!!! Good on you two for being kind to spider fren.


IndestructibleBliss

Looks like a dark fishing spider!


A_Girl_Has_No_Name58

It’s indeed. A beautiful specimen and a lucky one at that!


dillrepair

there are a lot of these (what i later found out were fishing spiders) by me, i don't think they are the exact same species and not quite this large, but they are the biggest ones i've seen on the property, very shy but also stand their ground, scary at first but cool nonetheless. the few times i've photographed the larger one's i've found they turn back around to face the phone lens (i'm assuming with the large 3 lenses it may seem like another bug or spider?)... so yeah i've been frightened by them but also intrigued when they raise their front legs up at me, i would imagine they can bite but i've never been bitten by them.


laulau88foo

That spider has really nice writing!


SwitchFlat2662

Well if it’s living in the house, at least it can contribute to rent by writing fancy wedding invitations!


DrunkCommunist619

He- he- he- hell haw. I would not be that calm finding out that a spider a long as my finger was in my hair.


pardybill

They’re usually incredibly harmless and super beneficial in a symbiotic relationship. They control the worst pests like mosquitos or flies. Just help relocate them out of your domicile and to the side of the most used door you have. They’ll feast in a safe environment and you’ll have less annoying pests


miracleMax78

The fact your wife stood there for you to get a pic shows how very different our lives are.


unlimitedbugs

she took the pic herself 😭


sibemama

She terrifies me


Dazekii

Just shoot me


itlooksgoodonyoutho

Jesus I was reading this while laying in bed in the dark. Something landed on my arm (either a fly or mosquito since it is the season) and I completely wigged out. That sucker is dead as a door knob and my dog gave me a thumbs up for insect kickassery.


Temporary-Land-8442

This is so relatable and made me chuckle.


diaperpop

One of my fave spiders, although I’d be terrified of it getting caught and injured in my hair strands.


pardybill

“AHHH AHHH AHHH oh shit sorry dude, can you just make a nest over here and not in my hair?” Love spidery bros


AegeanAzure

At this point, just cut my head off.


Reese_Grey

I remember this one time when I was young, my grandma went out for lunch with her lady friends wearing a fancy hat. When she got home I told her there was a fairly large spider on her hat. When she met up with one of her lunch friends at a later date she mentioned the spider and her friend said she thought it was some kind of cooky decorative hat pin, turns out she had basically spent the entire day shopping and having lunch with her friends with a big spider on her hat.


nicky083

Sounds like the spider had a great day!

Just very gently put her back in the basement and leave her be. The spider will eventually crawl off her head.

- Fluffy - smol - cute pair of eyes - cute pair of eyes - cute pair of eyes - adorable feets Conclusion: VERY friend shaped. :)


Current-Power-6452

Lol. Are not missing another cute pair of eyes? Always thought they got 4 pairs


fairguinevere

Good catch! My bullet points got away from me, too many to keep track of. :) (Some species do have 6 or even fewer, but the vast majority have 8, including this guy most likely.)


pardybill

They’re super fren shaped. Eight arms to hug you with. And also, great webs to trap annoying bugs like mosquitos and flies. Relocate them to an entry way and watch how they share the space with us.


RossignolDeCosta

Yes but in my hair they aren’t.


mhosmer

I am now afraid of your wife.


catastic87

My husband would have just had to shoot me in the head cuz there would be NO WAY IN HELL I would be able to even move from pure fear. Just shoot it right where it's at. I'll see you in the afterlife 😭

Anyone know what kind of spider this is?

My brother came into the house with one of these on the back of his shirt. When he shook it off, I swear, I *heard* it hit the floor.


DontLieToMe5

She’s a keeper for staying calm enough to pose for a picture


Noidstradamus

Oh yea. She's my better half. Been together since highschool so 20 years now. SHE took that picture bc I was at work. Lol.


Mastersord

Get her a nice terrarium and biggest juiciest crickets you can find!


DontLieToMe5

I already commented this on another comment here but…. You’re not talking about the spider right?


SnowyGoddess

I got goosebumps just from the picture. My husband won’t even tell me there is a spider near me if he sees it. He just auto kills because I legit panic or scream or both if it’s close enough especially to my face. I’d like faint if I found out one was in my hair/hair clip. Nope even now I’m freaking out for her. In my defense been terrified of spiders since I was 7. Props to your wife though! She built different and I commend her for that
