i used to be scared of spiders, but after spending my teenage years sleeping in an unfinished basement and having a wide variety of them show up in my room they just dont really bother me anymore. woke up once with what looked like a parsons spider sitting on my knee, which it bit. the worst case was 2 wolf spiders in one night; they were too fast for me to smash with a shoe so i shot them with a gas airsoft pistol
