I hate spiders… so clearly I hate tarantulas! Roommate, stop taking out your nasty-ass tarantula and letting it roam around the apartment!
I’m scared to death of it and I’ve told you this many times. But you won’t listen… the other day I was sitting on the couch watching a movie and HELLO there it is making its way towards me! I almost shit my pants.
I’m going to give one more warning… if you let it out again I’m going to pick up something large and heavy and SQUASH IT!!!—Hard-core Arachnophobe

What a tard. Isn’t he worried it might hide somewhere or accidently get stepped on? I kinda laughed at the thought of it approaching you on the couch. Probably just wanted to give you a hug!
Give him a stupid name (like ‘Shithead’) and assign him a personality. Make friends with the hairy little fucker, argue with him out loud, like ‘stay out of the fucking peanut butter, Shithead!’ – he’s not looking for ivory necks to gnaw, he’s just a curious eight-legged crotch jockey with a hankering to roam the wilds of your digs. Might as well make a game out of it or make yourself miserable.
did you move in knowing he had the spider? there is a bitch on here that was lamenting the lack of gourmand restos that serve arachnids…but maybe this is a good time to face your fear
Holy hell. I wouldn’t ever have moved in with him if I knew he had it. Hell, just knowing I lived in the same building as someone who had one, I would move riiiight the eff out.
See a psychologist specializing in phobias, unknown to your roomie, then tell numb-nuts that he pays your rent if he can’t keep the little goof in its tank. Unless of course, you knew he had one before you moved in and you believed him when he said he would keep it in its tank… all bets off at that point.
Just accidentally almost step on it with steel-toed cowboy boots one day and tell your roommate how close it was. Maybe he/she will think twice about letting it out.
it is a strange choice for pet. i knew a fellow that had one, we didn’t hang out there. i would prefer a snake if i had to choose…slithering is better than skittering *shudder*
Spiders are our friends, the eat bugs.
What sodey said.
look at you -with all the avatar changes^^i really like spiders, but in the garden and basement and certainly not non-indigenous ones that could escape
I guess people like the fuzzy spiders with unblinking ink-black puppy eyes.
Get a fake one and put it in his bed.
This little girl is just outside my door
every sweet outdoor web builders we have existed with, we called them bud..probably more like budette
Avatars are like shoes daahling, you can never have to many. (fling mink over shoulder)
Toss it out of an open window. Tell your roomie it ran away from home and didn’t leave a note.
Or buy yourself a pet snake and let it roam the apartment at will, looking for lunch.
It could be just like Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and you wouldn’t even have to leave home.
OR…get over it. It’s a fucking spider. A big furry one that looks creepy as hell, but it’s still just a spider.
What a stupid fucking pet in the first place. A fucking pest. OP kill that fucking useless critter and do yourself and your idiot roommate a favor
so, what the fuck is wrong with a tarantula spider. they are a hell of a lot cleaner than dogs and cats, and cost a hell of a lot less to feed and house. lucky it isn’t a 14 ft. boa or iguana.
could you imagine what squishing that thing would sound like????? AAAAAHHHHHHH GROSS
GET A DOG.
exotic pets can be cool…
having had a scorpion, I can say they do get people’s attention.
plus they look cool when they eat other critters like crickets…
me ma grew up in south america, they have spiders as big as dinner plates. they live in trees and can kill horses…yowza
exotic pets are just plain wrong…they are causing a huge problem with poaching and illegal importing. Dock workers finding trailers off a ship with like hundreds of dead boas or rare birds etc etc…everytime you buy an exotic pet of any kind you are supporting the poachers who are illegally importing some of these things… for every one that makes it succuessfully to a pet store, hundreds or more died to get it there. There isnt very strong regulations for pet stores. OP your roomate is an inconsiderate prick and needs his toothbrush to take an inadvertant swim in the toilet.
Dammit shaker…. you are causing me to feel a little guilt about that pet black rhino horn I keep in my custom made mako shark skin and green-cheeked parrot feather carrying case.
good golly miss maudey, i’m glad you’re joshing mr. jonno…we shoot poachers were i come from
haha…. PG… of course i am joshing… how could i ever expect to afford a custom made mako shark skin and green-cheeked parrot feather carrying case, even on the black market????? 😉
apparently the robotics folks are making fake skin…perhaps they could make purses and shite outta that
It’s not the 8-legged critters fault. It’s your dumb fuck of a roommate. Tape some of your girlfriend’s tampons to the bottom of his bed.
Buy a sebastian and keep it tied up out back instead.
Frenchie: I just noticed your shoes avatar…O la la la:)
