Nope… spiders don’t bother me at all… I know how to recognize most of the more dangerous spiders, I have a healthy respect for them, but they don’t scare me at all. Funny how that’s different for different people.

I can actually freeze up in certain situations in regards to bees. I once got out of a moving vehicle, moving at about 5-10 miles an hour in a large trailer park, because there was a bee in the vehicle.

I was driving.

We had a guy while I was in Okinawa literally break down into a hysterical fit, pulling of his gear and screaming because he walked into a banana spider’s web and was convinced it had crawled into his uniform.
