So, I'm walking to the front door to turn off the lights, and I almost set my bare foot down on a spider the size of a silver dollar. Most bugs, I just really don't have a problem either killing or shooing outside, but spiders freak me out, especially that size. After staring at it in horror for a minute or so, I get a shoe to squish it, can't quite make myself get that close, and throw the shoe. It flinches. So I get something heavier- a text book. I drop the text book on the spider. Once I'm sure the spider hasn't escaped, I stepped down on the text book. after another minute of staring in horror, I flipped the book over. Spider wasn't moving, but still very definitely whole- might still be alive, poor thing. So I get the shoe and smash it. Hard. Three times. Now I'm pretty sure it's dead, so I get up the courage to use a piece of cardboard to pick it up and throw it out, but I'm gonna be feeling spiders all night.
