I love spiders.No, really, I do. But they do have too much eyes and too much legs. Although as an engineer I appreciate the need for in-built redundancy...

I can appreciate arachnopoobia......because I am, myself a coulrophobe. My other half is a major arachnophobe so we have an arrangement - we each agree to immediately put a glass over each other's respective phobic triggers and take them outside. It's easier getting a glass over a spider than a clown... so I think I got off easier :)

One of my friendsIs a professional clown, and I went to his Big Gay Wedding a few years back. He was sensitive enough to make sure there was nothing scary around - but a lot of his mates were in that line of work. I think it wa Barry that said to me "I hear that you don't like clowns?" and my response was "I don't dislike clowns - I fear them."

My friends child is scared of clowns...... and I understand.....Because he's small and clowns to a small child could look scarry....
But as an adult what do you fear either fear of or from them?

They're just depressed men in make up and baggy trousers.

That's why it's a phobia......because I know that rationally, I could kick their arse and the worst they could do to me would be stealing my credit card numbers. But My fear goes back to a childhood event.

I just wondered if you thought they were going to do a particulare thing to you....Like the reasons I have for being scarred of spiders .....I know they are incapable of doing these things to me....
such as... do you fear clowns are going to kidnap you or bite you or something in particulare....

Well...... I think there's a reason H. R. Giger designed the facehuggers like that... WiL even refers to particularly awful (subjective) examples as 'Facehuggers.'
I think that for many humans, arachnophobia is a genetic memory, based on some similar looking (possibly related) predator from our past lineage... possibly before we evolved into mammals...

To me it's more like spiders are as big as the full grown alien.....And they will carry me off under the skirting board.... put me in a cacoon ....... paralyze me..... and lay babies inside me .....but I would be awake for the whole thing....
I know it's daft .... but that's the fear!!!

I suppose it could happen......my mum once noticed a strange noise in her ear but thought nothing of it (she has a perforated ear drum). About an hour later a spider crawled out of her ear canal.

I want to like spidersbut they are too damn fast, can walk across ceilings, stay motionless for days and in my mind, are about the size of dinner plates.

Not in my house......they know I'm not afraid of them, and that WiL is, so they will run out in front of him and stop, scratch their bollocks for a few minutes and then stride nonchalantly off into the kitchen.
