Yeah, enjoy the flies and sad empty corners without happy little webs.

As I was reading this comment, a spider appeared.
They know.
What have the spiders done to you though?
Saved the ungrateful fucker from hundreds of mosquito bites no doubt.
Dragonflies eat WAY WAY WAY more mosquitos than spiders could ever hope to accomplish and id rather have a bunch of dragonflies in my apartment any day!
Stop spreading spider propaganda!
Oh idk, got bit by a brown recluse once. Got an infection because of it and was in the hospital for 3 days.
So fuck spiders.
A former neighbor got bitten by one and had a sizable chunk of necrotized flesh removed. I was terrified for about a year but I got over it. I usually just catch spiders and carry them outside now, but I'm pretty sure if I see a recluse and recognize it, it's a goner.
My recliner is immediately next to a disused fireplace that is closed but not sealed to an extent sufficient to keep out smaller critters like spiders. (The house is very much a WIP)
Since the fireplace is not used and probably never will be again, I use the raised stone mantel in front of it to hold stuff I want accessible but not always in my hands, like beverages.
The last two times I saw spiders were when I started to drink something, only to notice after the first few sips that there was an arachnid floundering on the surface of the liquid. Fortunately both times in question I was using a straw or the critter would have gone straight down the hatch. (I try not to think about whether this might have happened previously.)
Anyway, I support being kind to creatures, carrying bugs outside, whatever; but in both of those cases it was all I could do not to hurl the cup across the room. Instead I would run to the kitchen, pour the drink down the sink, drop the cup after it and absolutely chug mouthwash.
Now I look critically into any beverage with an open top before even thinking about drinking it.
Now this is epic
