[David DeVries]

...when you're on a thread with pix and you scroll down really fast so you don't look at the labels and try to ID the t by just looking at the pic

and then you get it right even if you don't have that species:}

 

[Bedlam]

When your job is to clean a warehouse but you refuse to kill any spiders or destroy their webbing, which lands you in heaps of trouble after being asked to get rid of the webs over and over again.

 

[Fingolfin]

When you discuss a new t on the phone in front of your wife when you are forbidden to get anymore....

 

[Sicel1304]

When your nametag at your job looks like this:

 

[ArachnoCrazy]

when you have to squeeze around a huge shelf full of containers just to get to the closet which is on the other side of your bedroom every morning.


or when you run to the store just to buy container of Cheese Balls even though you hate them.

 

[K MUELLER]

When you really think about joining A.A Arachnoholics Anonomous!!! Because you say ''just one more'', everytime you place an order. Later-Karl

 

[mikeythefireman]

When you go to Costco and buy 2 5lb tubs of animal crackers and a box of gallon ziplocs to transfer the animal crackers to. FYI: thes tubs make awesome arboreal containers.

 

[PoPpiLLs]

when you order 2 slings and tell your wife the other one was a freebie so you didnt know it was coming ;P

 

[Tropical T's]

When on Valentines morning instead of roses next to the bed your girlfriend finds one of your escapees
When you convince your highly arachnophobic friend to show you where he saw the burrows and get photographic evidence of him helping catch them.

 

[Stylopidae]

When you buy the pre-packaged crix just because you get a free container, even though you know they're more expensive than normal crix.

 

[Varden]

When you have a "911" phone tree set up among family and friends (some of them several states away), so when you run low on bottle caps, cardboard rolls (for the crickets you raise), egg flats (for the roaches), and plastic containers (mayonaise, peanut butter, and mixed nuts--awesome sling containers), all you have to do is put out the call and everyone you know mails you what they've been hording since your last call. It's like Christmas in the mail!

 

[Dreadwraven]

When you ask the moderators if they're ever going to include a gift registry forum for those getting married.

 

[Galadriel]

One of the main selling points for moving to Texas is knowing we'll be closer to ArachnoCon.

 

[Stylopidae]

When you have your collection planned out four months in advance.

Check this out:

Platymeris, lobster roaches and spitting spiders, and a scolopendra heros arizonensias all before the end of this month

G.aureostriata and B. smithi in september from a friend here on the boards. P. irminia, P. imperator and L.parayhabana before the end of that month

Damon sp. whipscorps in october, right before it gets too cold to ship.

B. dubia in november and then cool off until springtime rolls around and it's warm enough to ship.

Sad ain't it?

When those irritating sales people come by to see if you want to spray your yard for spiders, your eyes get big and and your mouth drops open as you say why on earth would you do that! than slam the door shut.

Your boyfriend just bought 13 spiders within a week of buying his first, and has overcome his phobia. True story. Now his sister is addicted too. he he he. Eventually we all get bit with the bug! mwa ha ha

 

[Tarantula]

You are smiling at yourself when you read this thread..

 

[crawldad]

I thought about this at 5:30am today. I am on the way to my garage, to unlock my door, to get to my car, so I can get to my job, and I do my very best to avoid any spider webs across the opening of the door (I practically do the LIMBO). And we all know it's not because I can't stand the feeling, I don't want to mess up all their hard work! Sad isn't it.......................

 

[Tegenaria]

you start wondering how one of those 3-D pictures would look if you had 8 eyes!
