Yesterday I killed a spider in the bath. I did not mean to kill it, I was trying to rescue it from drowning, but it kept jumping (do spiders jump?) off the peace of card that I was using to scoop it up, and then I somehow court its leg, or legs, under the card, and then it just died.
I think I used to have that condition, at least I could not touch spiders. I had to ask my flat mate to get them out of the bath and sink. It was quite embarrassing. It is not so bad know, I can even touch the ones with the long legs, they seem more elegant, but why do they like to live in are bath rooms? (Perhaps they like the humidity, but I never see any flies in there). In my previous flat I got loads of spiders in the bath room and I could not bare to move them. Some of them just seemed to hang there, sometimes for weeks on end. I could not see how they stayed alive.
Leaches and cockroaches (and probably some other insects) freak me out, and swans scare me (I think they are much stronger and much more violent than they look). Apart from that I like all animals.
