I was at a gathering of friends and acquaintances a couple of weeks ago, and I had my camera with me - I proudly showed a couple of recent shots of my B. vagans, and it became known that I'm a tarantula keeper. One of the group said, out loud, "I would never enter the home of a person who had a tarantula in the house." .... Ahem ... Well, I recovered from that one quick enough to reply, "Thank goodness, that spares me from every having to invite you." ;P
