There is a large spider on your desk.

omgitsthelazor

What do you do first?

I'm not ashamed to admit I'd call my boyfriend or father (depending where I am) to deal with it. If they weren't around I'd quarantine the room until they got here.

Hande hoche!

Brush it off the desk.

Pushtrak

I'd take a picture to be ready for anyone who'd say "pics or gtfo" when I post an inane thread on after hours.

Ignore it or pick it up with cup & paper and bring it outside

mysteries1984

Ah, you couldn't kill it, that's not fair.

I'd probably get one of the many men in the office to deal with it for me...but I'm not averse to getting a pint glass and a magazine and moving it myself. I wouldn't throw it out the window though, the wuss in me is afraid it'd come back in . I'd have to go down to the ground floor and release it.

bronte

Put a cup or glass over it.
Beg someone else to put it outside.

I used to put them in a tissue and flush them down a toilet. I don't have the heart for that anymore so I'd just throw him out the window in the tissue instead.

I'm pretty sure that's actually my boss.

RichieC

I like having a spider bro.

omgitsthelazor

For all my fear of them I don't like killing them either, the one and only method of eradicating them myself is the hoover. (so I can keep a safe distance)

then quarantine the hoover for a few weeks in case it crawls back out. :pac:

biko

Pick it up, put it outside.
Why isn't this option in the poll?

That must get pretty annoying for them. And spiders are people too you know.

op sounds like Dennis Hopper describing the premise of Speed to Keanu Reeves. "whaddya do? whaddya do?!"

Spiders have tried to capture me (by the face) in their webs a number of times. Just because it's easy to escape their murder attempts, it doesn't make them cute.
I usually flatten them with a CD case.

hondasam

I would scream and get someone to catch it and release it or kill it, I don't care just get it of my desk.

jokettle

Smush it with the biggest, heavist hardback book I can find. If spiders want to live indoors, they should evolve to build their own damn houses and stop trespassing in mine.

Abi

It's only a fūcking spider


If he's on the ceiling I let him go about his business, if he's somewhere that means I don't have to get a chair to get him, I'll catch him and let him out.

Unless you're in a distribution centre for Fyffes you're laughing.

admiralofthefleet

peacefully co-exist

flutterflye

How large is large?
How fast can it run?
These are vital things I need to know before deciding.

If it was a horrible yolk however like a beetle, earwig, centipede etc... then I would run away screaming for help.

Have a total freak attack. Then leave the room. Then beg someone else to get rid of it.

What if it was this cute little guy ? I left him alive after I took the photo. He could be anywhere :eek:

Mr. CooL ICE

In college, I captured a massive spider and decided to keep it in a jar, dropping in any dead flies that we found on the windowsills.

He died after 2 days

gurramok

He's your new IT pet, harmless and playful. Let it make a webby home on your desk.

Papa_Bear

I just flush 'em down the toilet......

Sorry if that upsets anyone but I refuse to share my property with anything that has more legs than I do.

Hit f5 and hope it goes away

Is this testing whether I'm a replicant, or a spider-lover Ms. Omgitsthelazor?

We call it Voight-Kampff for short.

Where To

1. Kidnap it


2. Write ransom note



3. ......... I haven't really got around to thinking this far ahead yet

4zn76tysfajdxp

I deal with this dilemma on a daily basis, usually when I've been deprived of sleep, when I see two hairless, albino tarantulas dancing all over my keyboard. I usually figure out within a few hours that's it's just my hands.

Scioch

Kill it dead before it has spider babies.

Princess Peach

I love spiders. I would be his friend

Teyla Emmagan

Descend into hysterics. Found one in my Dad's polytunnel today which had a body the side of a grape. The lack of predators and amazonian heat in there obviously had let this thing evolve to such a size you could have put a leash and chain on it and sicced it on people you didn't like.

It will be some time before I'm myself again.

It was HUGE!!!!! :eek:

The bigger it is, the easier it is to pick up and put outside. Or smush it with your shoe or whatever. The annoying ones are the little bastards who are too quick and you dunno if they've gone up your sleeve or into your ear or wherever else!?! :cool:

I don't mind spiders so if I can't catch them I let them be. Little did I know... I've a large double bed but only use two of the four pillows on it. I hadn't moved one of the pillows that was leaning against the wall for a few days. Changing the bed clothes, I move the pillow and the bastard spider had made a little nest and about 40 mini spiders were all over the pillow. :mad:

I don't mind spiders! Only yesterday at work, a nurse squealed when she saw a spider in the corridor. She asked a doctor if he would remove it, but he nearly passed out too! So I stepped in, scooped him up in my hands and put him outside. I was made to feel like a superhero , but I told them I would have required their assistance had there been a slug present :eek: !

Punch it in the tits!!

Blast it with piss.

Spiders are great.

They get rid of those bastid flies.

af_thefragile

Cup + paper = spider out the window!!

languagenerd

Poll needs to be multiple choice - first I'd squeal, then I'd evacuate the room, then I'd ask someone else to come throw it out for me, all in quick succession.

I'm really bad with spiders, I don't even know why. I often jump quite violently when I see one near me (pulled a muscle once because of it!) and have been known to scream too . I'm making an effort to get over it, and have started getting the smaller ones out with a sweeping brush, a sheet of paper or the hoover... but I still run a mile from the bigger ones, and relocate to the spare room/couch in the middle of the night if I find one in my room!

Pretty sure that will kill them, might just be a slower death. Poor spideys
