You try to convince your wife to have free roaming Nephila spiders in the living room.
You Know You Are An Aracnophile When:
- Thread starter Pennywise
- Start date
Arachnophilic
When you are driving on the expressway... late for work... look over into your passenger side mirror to see a horrified little spider clining to its exquisit web it made last night tight to the window trying to hang on at 65mph. You quickly hit the brakes to slow down and watching to make sure it doesn't loose its grip, merge across two lanes of now honking traffic so you can pull over to a stop, hop out and run to open your trunk, sort through a dozen small vials that "just happen to be there" to select the perfect home. :worship: Ever so genlty coax the little, now "expresswayaphobic", arachnid into the vial, crawl back into your car genlty setting the new PET into the cup holder smiling at yourself like you just pulled a superman and saved the world
and are afraid to merge back into traffic because you don't want to stress it anymore; only to arrive 20min late to work, boss confronts you for being late but you slip into your office close the door and proadly place the vial next to your computer monitor in VICTORY!!!! :clap: Then take lunch outside because you need fresh air... and a small insect for your new office assistant. Your boss later notices the small spider in vial and asks... are you afraid to kill it... and you reply... "Its my motivation and a symble of the survival of the fittest and never letting go." Boss looks at you like why did I even ask and walks out.... as you smirk and turn the vial for a better view as it builds its new masterpiece web.
You can't wait to call your girl and tell her about your "amazing morning comute" and she tells you that you are such a freak.
Oh yeah... your daily rutine now includes packing the usual lunch of PB&J, chips, coke.. and pinheads.
Yeah I have it bad. ;P but rehab is for quitters!!
And you can't wait to add your story about this day to the boards because you have to tell "your family"

The thought of your beloved spider(s) going thirsty or hungry has saved you from committing numerous reckless and violent acts.

You Know You Are An Aracnophile When:
You are out shopping with friends and you get all excited over the display of container on sale and your friends know immediately you aren't thinking about using the containers for organizing your home but for use as another Crtiiter container.

You consider posting a new thread, suggesting an A.A. meeting.
You're reading this and know the first "A" doesn't stand for alcohol.
You've just bought 2 S. calceatum from Botar and have shopper's high. Thanks Charles! He's going to love them =)
You give S. calceatum to your husband for his birthday, and he says it's the best birthday present EVER!

SO SO TRUE!!!! I've watched my rose hairs until my bum literally went numb!Tegenaria said:
You can't trust yourself in a pet store to buy crickets with any more than $2 in your pocket.
You visit one dealer, and promise yourself not to buy any more for a couple of months, but can't resist the invitation to go to visit another dealer 2 weeks later.
Your boyfriend or significant other knows that he'll have to apologize to the spider he offended if it bites him.
You don't mind when bands you like put off the release date for their next album or the date for their next show because it gives you more chances to spend your money on more spiders
You're looking for a lamp so you'll never have to disturb your Ts by turning the bedroom light on again.
You own an electric acoustic guitar, but will only play acoustic for fear of disturbing your babies.

when your tarantula collection costs more than your house.
If you have ever asked your Pastor to eulogize your dearly departed male OBT.
If you purchased a new microscope for $1000 just so you can sex you slings a molt or two earlier.
You didnt get the vacuum withyour oil change because the extra money could be better spent on your new H. lividium.
You buy a gas guzzling SUV so you will have more room to bring back T's from Acon.
You spanked your grandaughter for hollering EEEEKKKK when your OBT jumped at her.
You stopped drinking beer because you couldnt share it with your best friend the T. blondi.
You have passed out candy cigars specially made with 0.0.1000 on them .
You actually know what 0.0.1000 means.

Ha ha ha, all is true, this thread is brilliantly awesome when you log on to this website 15 times a day even at work to check for new interesting threads
when your gf gets jealous of you paying more attention to your T's than to her
when there's a party going on in your house and you are more interested in looking at your spiders
when no one else understands why you want to stay on a friday taking some pics of your newly arrived p metallica
When watching spider porn has more excitement to it than the human variety.
When you and your husband sleep on the hide-a-bed couch because the B. albopilosum is making her eggsac in the bedroom and you won't even go upstairs for fear of disturbing her.
When the husband grumblingly abandons his comfortable bed to sleep on a very uncomfortable hide-a-bed couch because he'd rather spend the night there than in the dog house for disturbing the B. albo.
When you remove the marble sink from the master bathroom so you can install a cheap plastic utility sink deep enough to scrub out even the tall breeder tanks. And then realize if you remove the clawfoot tub and put in shelves, you'll have room for 80 more spiders.

.. When you say that you'll be getting few spiders next week and your mom and grandmom shouts "NOT AGAIN!"
.. Your friends are going to a party and think you don't have any money when actually you have and it is used to pay the spiders coming next week.
Thats me allright :razz:

when you admit the only real reason you bought that expensive camera was to take quality pictures of your spiders
when you own an album of your spiders and not one of your gf and you proudly show it to your friends and she angrily burns it
when you carry around a pic of your favorite spider right next to your girlfriend's picture in your wallet
when you stop listening to music for fear of disturbing your babies

When the man you love who was an arachnophobe at the beginning of your relationship tells you he wants a little pink toe of his own.
When you find yourself picking up adult crickets with your bare hands and six months ago you shuddered at the thought of one of them getting loose.
When you have 11 tarantulas and you're already planning what you'll be getting in the spring.
When you offer to raise slings into young juvenile Ts for friends who want them at a decent size.
When you find yourself thinking, "It's getting late, time to head off to the burrow."
When you start recreationally memorizing the names of all the spider families in North America.
Lol, I was reading the Tarantula Keeper's Guide the other night and I got to the part at the end where it talks about how you won't be able to look at spiders the same way anymore. Of course I won't be able to. Before there might have been a couple of them hiding up in the corners of my room. Now there are 11 of them sitting in what used to be a bookshelf, waiting for their next meal.
