If I see a spider in the flat, I try to get a cup and a piece of paper and throw it out of the window. I can't kill them because they're good for catching flies.

Spiders keep me awake at night. If I see one that's too big to get under a glass, there will be big problems. I'll spend the rest of the day feeling like I'm being terrorised by this missing spider.

I'm absolutely terrified of spiders.

I'm massively scared of spiders. Even small ones scare the life out of me.

Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.

Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.

There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?

From everything I can read about Aussie spiders, it seems like all they really like doing is hiding in your house or garden or car until you 'accidentally' disturb them - probably by doing something crazy like putting on the shoe they are lurking in - and they can officially bite you to pieces.

I'm always worried about everything. Like spiders.

I turn into a crying, hysterical maniac when I see a spider. It's pathetic.
