That's actually a great way of ditching the conversation, except my answer usually doesn't involve a tarantula

When you have a dream about a 3 foot G. pulchra that comes when called and jumps up on you to give you hugs and you wake up with a smile and a warm fuzzy feeling.
After telling friends about said dream, they shudder and call it a nightmare. :wall:

You have people drop rescued T's off at your girlfriends work and then your girlfriend rings you to abuse you about the influence you are having on her nine year old daughter because when she picked her up she was able to identify the said T with the comment of "aww it's a little plumipes"

When your cricket guy identifies you as "the spider chick" and remands any and all spiders dropped off at his place, to your care. Or, when he comes to you for advice about which to order, what kinds to stock in his shop, and how to keep them properly.
When you go around misting the spiderwebs in your living room.
When you're repainting your bedroom, and see a little house spider on the wall, you paint around it. (True story, I painted a little heart around it, and moved on...my husband came home, looked, and just shook his head.)
The spiders hanging out in the corner of the bathroom have names.
When Christmas dinner is abruptly halted, because you race to beat your nice, but misunderstood inlaw to the spider on the chandelier that he wants to moosh with a napkin. After climbing down off the table, tell them you're just going to put it outside, but don't, because it will freeze to death. Instead, you slip it into the guest bathroom, and run some water in the sink for it. (Just happened, Sunday...)

(1) You know you're an arachnophile when: every time a local sees you at work they identify you as the town's only 'Spider-Woman' (locals include but are not necessarily limited to delivery men who also know you as the 'Spider Woman') and ask you how your critters are doing
(2) You know you're an arachnophile when: every time you enter the post office to mail a letter you get pounced on by 3 or more postal workers asking you if you've gotten any photos of your new tarantulas (yes, the ones you took out of the same box that none of them wanted to touch after they found out what was in it.)
(3) You know you're an arachnophile when: the people at your church get a complete and total kick out of exuvia, asking about what you can feed tarantulas and asking the age-old question of... "Have you ever gotten bit!?" - or even better... "Aren't they poisonous!?"
I love this town

Now the pastor's parents ask if I'm the 'dude with the spiders'.:?When your Youth Pastor tells the local christian rock band to come to church to see you hold some of your T's and centipedes.
I was... surprised, to say the least.
Flattering.........
Also, when you go into a petstore, see a mature male you've been looking for, buy it, (with the store owner chuckling at you because he knows it won't live long). And you smirk back at him, about ready to tell him off.

Your child tells the Santa at the mall that he wants a Boehmei and a Pulchra for Christmas and Santa gets a really confused look on his face. (He is getting the Boehmei next week, by the way).
To save on rising fuel costs, you take your males to be loaned out to work with you and drop them off on your way home. You really know you have a problem when your co-workers notice your problem too. I *never* bring a cooler to work (which held to males going out for loan) and they just had to see, until they saw, and then didn't want to see =)

When you Show up to meet the postal worker and he just gives you a blank stare with a slight shake in his head and asks "how many this time?"
When UPS KNOWS you by first name but they commonly refer to you as "The customer who has BIG spiders"
When Your family calls just to check on how many new spiders you got this week, and what you've got planned next week
When you allot a portion of your paycheck just to buy T's and Crickets
