I almost didn't even post a photo for this one because I was too afraid to Google spider images. I can't even look at pictures. But I decided to google "cartoon spider" and came up with that guy, who isn't so intimidating. Even some of the cartoon spiders, though, were still too realistic for me and gave me the shudders.
It might be a typical female thing, but I have a serious phobia of spiders. If I see one in my house, I'm pretty much set up for a nightmare that night. Not long ago, I woke up with a scream because of a spider dream. Sometimes I hallucinate via dreams that one is dangling above my bed, and then I can't fall back asleep. Once in a while, I can work up the courage to attempt to kill one in the house (with as long an object as possible), but if I miss or don't squash it hard enough and it starts scurrying, I panic, so usually I yell for other people.
I do, however, understand that spiders are good (mostly) so if I see them outside I usually just leave them alone (and steer waaaay clear), unless it's a black widow. Sometimes I feel that spiders can sense fear, which is why I seem to be the one always finding them in the house.
*Shudder*
