when you arrive anywhere new you automatically scan the ground and corners for spiders..

when your the only one in the room that is willing to remove the black widow from the room...

your outside by a tree and a jumping spider lands on your shoulder and you get excited instead of yelling and screaming

You keep checking this thread to see if any comments describe YOU.
SO TRUE!!! :lol:

If the first thing that happens when a bug lands on someone in your house and that person gives you the evil eye, you might be an arachnophile.

My Mom knows me so well. She found a jumping spider that was drowning and saved it. She wanted to show me to see if I wanted it, but it had escaped. :D

Yeah, but I have to admit THAT is really awesome! They seem to have nearly something for everything really...wished we would have such over here...Staples is crap in regards to their "sortiment"....

The Container Store.com should have a picture of a T somewhere on their site... it's almost certain they're aware that Arachnophiliacs are oddly intrigued by their products...
they may not be thrilled their containers are being used for "Giant Spiders", yet are producing more and more products for Ts.. Or just a coincidence

LOL

LOL! No further comment needed on that one, mark :D:D:D

You probably should've added something along the lines of "Wanna see one of them? *reach into pocket* I brought one to measure the right container size" :D

Seriously? Staples doesn't even have those over here sadly. I have to order them from Amazon...pretty pricey if I buy only a single size...but a set of 5 different sizes is about EUR 20.
