Five of them were in at once. Good job I don't mind them! The only one I put out was the one in my sandals as it was nearly big enough to try them on 👀

  2. I think you mean, you are trespassing in their house 

  4. I’ve been getting them as well. One has been so big that it even made me a bit nervous putting outside.

  5. big boys out looking for the ladies. It’s giant house spider mating season. You can tell the males because they have “boxing glove” pedipalps: the short limbs at the front of their head have big round ends on them.

  7. What part of the country is this? Just so I know where to avoid.

  8. Ah, I see you have a couple of 7 leggers as well. The ladies fight. Last year I had to split up two of ours and banish one to another room. I felt sorry for her when she got down to 5 legs.

  11. They always come in August/September for breeding season, I then find they’ve tried to seal off my shed by Spring with a giant web, which has spiders and husks of spiders all over it.

  12. Ive been evicting one every other day. I was watching tv the other day and one slowly drooped down from the ceiling right in front of my face. Quite the jump scare.

  14. My cat eats them and I’m not sure how I feel about that tbh.

  17. I found one of these leggy lads in the outside store, and it was patiently waiting on a big sheet of web which belonged to a massive female who was in the middle of shedding her final skin to become an adult lady.

  18. Clearly I need to increase my efforts to obtain a nuclear device and some sort of orbital access.

  19. Oh! I just opened my windows.. gunna go close them😂😂😂

  20. I had one run across my face at one in the morning last week. I instinctively grabbed it and threw it on the other side of the bed but I couldn’t get back to sleep for an hour after it.

  22. Ohhh, hate spiders, gosh I thought one was enough, but my, you seem to have a lot… would have freaked me out seeing that many

  23. Where do you live so I don’t accidentally go there?

  24. We had about 3 or 4 over the last few days. We also removed a massive bush in our garden and felt it was payback as moved loads of spiders lol

  27. Oh, these. This is when I found out my lovely playful dog was a psycho as I heard him bouncing around excitedly in the hallway occasionally picking it up and dropping it. It ended up at the other end of corridor with six of its legs scattered throughout before he finally just mashed into tiles with his fat paw.

  28. I need to know where the heck in this forsaken country to never to go again- 💀

  29. Is it just me or did i just start lookin around my house as soon as I saw this 😂😂😂

  30. I love spiders but one of these big guys scared me the other day by hiding behind a water glass… which magnified him to about five times the size!

  31. Jesus fucking christ I wish reddit had a spider spoiler. Nearly dropped my bloody phone!

  32. I know people say some spiders are big enough to wear shoes, but that’s taking the piss.

  35. We’ve had a few of these, I keep on telling my wife its all the same one that keeps on breaking back in. I’ve named it / them “Bitey Frank”. I’m a good husband.

  36. I’ve been getting them in my room constantly and I have a phobia, it’s been awful, had one crawl in front of my face in bed and I’ve been paranoid trying to sleep all week 😭 

  37. Get a cat. Not seen a hairy legged beast since our little lady Catherine joined our family

  38. If you don’t evict those spindly, leggy spiders they keep these ones at bay.

  39. My cats eat them, then vomit up the legs. I am honestly not sure what’s worse.

  40. Just give them the keys and move out!

    Those spiders look like they can turn a key and pull a handle down…

  41. Just to add that I love spiders and actually studied them as part of my college course back in the dark ages! I am not a “kill with fire” person and only put them out if they are at risk of getting squashed, or mauled by one of my cats.

  42. one of these fell on my arm the other day. i’ve still not recovered

  44. Had one here recently. It fell behind a cabinet and I would have happily assumed it was dead and had it kept out of sight we’d both still be alive. But it emerged and I had to kill it because I could not sleep knowing it was around.

    The spindly ones I can handle but those guy just need to die. *shudders* I know all the arguments about them being harmless and killing bugs but I have a physical reaction of absolute fear when I see them. Only one of us can live here. I’m certain there are quite a few lurking in places I can’t see but as long as I don’t know they’re there that’s fine.

  45. That needs a spoiler warning.

    Fuck off with those spiders.

  46. Why did I, a person with an absolute pathological fear of house spiders, just click through every single one of those photos.

  47. Nah FUCK THAT! Fuck that completely

    Fuckity fuck that

  49. When I see one of these I pick up my house cat and place her in front of it. She likes the hunting stimulation.

  50. “I don’t mind spiders” “I actually quite enjoy spiders!”

    Well you stay there with your massive spider friends and stay the FUCK away from my house, ok?
