It's 3am and there's a spider on the ceiling above your bed... What do you do?!
I grabbed a cup and started trying to catch it, woke up DH in the process and he caught it. Whew! 
You might also enjoy...
-
Move to the guest bedroom!!
-
Roll over and go back to sleep. Hope DH doesn't notice and panic.
-
Wake up DH!
-
Grab some toilet paper and squish it, then toss it in the toilet because of spider baby fears. I am the spider killer in our house.
-
Hide under the sheets and hope it's gone the next day.
We have ultra high ceilings, so I wouldn't be able to send DH after it even if I wanted to.
-
Burn down the house.
-
This is a tough one b/c DD sleeps with us so I would not want to wake up DD, but at the same time I cannot rest not knowing where it is. Soooo... I don't know!
I would never be up at 3am tho and have the light on to notice a spider though, lol.
-
Freak out. It would have to be pretty big for me to see it without my glasses, so yeah, get the hell out of there and make T deal with it.
-
@Rocker2014: lol! I'm with you!
-
First I would majorly freak the heck out!! Then I would wake up DH and drag him out of bed while I got a ladder for him to kill it!!! Hopefully it doesn't run away before DH can kill it... because I would just hide in my covers and fear it for about a week before I got over it. I hate spiders .... SO CREEPY! *shudders*
-
Make sure I keep my mouth closed and ask DH to get the broom and get the spider off the ceiling.
I read somewhere that on average everyone swallows 6 spiders in their lifetime.
-
No one sleeps until it is dead.
-
@Madison43: YAAAAASSSS.
-
Spiders kill other bugs people...please let them live!
-
I roll out the welcome mat. I prefer to have a few resident spiders rather than any of the things they like to eat...
-
Wake DH up and make him kill it...
I was actually reading in bed one night and felt something on my shoulder, I brushed it thinking it was just my hair, felt it again, and it was a giant hairy spider!!
I flung it off and jumped out of bed, woke DH up and told him I was NOT getting back in bed till it was dead. It ended up behind our headboard and we were able to squish it.
Eeeewww. -
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We usually catch and release, unless T is gone and it's a big hairy one and then all bets are off.
-
Depends on the size of the spider...
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: this regularly becomes horrible thought vortex for me. "Spiders are our friends. Spiders are here to eat other bugs. Wait, if spiders ear other bugs, what other bugs are here? I think I feel something on my leg...or maybe on my back. Ugh, what if the other bugs are silverfish!? What if there are silverfish in my bed?!" And so on.
-
@snowjewelz: I tried to ignore it for about 3 seconds before I decided there was no way I could sleep while knowing there was a spider in our room!
-
@josina: MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!!!
-
@josina: Yeah I could have lived my whole life without reading that comment. *will probably have nightmares tonight*
-
go back to sleep unless it's black widow.
ETA: we found a cockroach at like 1 am once in my apartment and all 4 of us girls were screaming and i considering sleeping in my car until we found and killed it.
-
@Raindrop: lol. Sorry!
-
@avivoca: yeah a furry spider would have me running out of my house!
@lilyofthewest: oh no, not the silverfish! Those things are so freaking gross. We get so many deliveries that silverfish are a common occurrence, but how do they travel from the foyer to other parts of the house so easily? Shiver!
-
@josina: I would have died.
-
How would you even see a spider on the ceiling at 3 am? Isn't it dark when you sleep?
-
@skipra: my spider senses were tingling.
J/K. We sleep with a lamp on these days because I've had to pump in the MOTN. I find it preferable to sleep with a soft light than to turn on the lights when I need them.
-
I'm sort of immune to spiders becAuse we lived in the desert for a year. So, it really depends on the size. If it was big enough to have fur I would have woken DH and made him free it outside. We try not to kill spiders!
-
@Rocker2014: agreed!
-
True story, I found a snake in my house once. It was just a chicken snake but we bought a new house. F that I DO NOT do snakes. Nope nope helllll nope
We have ultra high ceilings, so I wouldn't be able to send DH after it even if I wanted to.
